The Mountain West Conference Tournament starts Mar. 8. Here’s a printable bracket to help you follow all the action.

The Mountain West Conference title is up for grabs this year at the Mountain West Conference Tournament Mar. 8-11 at the Thomas and Mack Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Perennial MWC powerhouse San Diego State is a No. 6 seed this year, meaning they have to win four straight games to make it to the Big Dance. With the automatic bid up for grabs, anyone can punch their ticket to the NCAA Tournament.

The action begins on Wednesday Mar. 8 when No. 8 Utah State faces No. 9 San Jose State to see who will face No. 1 Nevada on Thursday. No. 7 Wyoming and No. 10 Air Force play after the Utah State-San Jose State game, and that winner faces No. 2 Colorado State. The last game on Day 1 of the tournament pits No. 6 seed San Diego State against No. 11 UNLV with the winner playing No. 3 Boise State. No. 4 Fresno State will meet No. 5 New Mexico State on Thursday as well.

Nevada finished the regular season with a 25-6 overall record and were 14-4 in conference play. The top seven teams in the conference were only separated by one game in MWC rankings, making this a tight race for the top spot at the end of the tournament.

San Diego State won the 2015 and 2016 Mountain West Tournament with Fresno State winning in 2013 and 2014. San Diego State has been struggling this season to find the kind of consistency that kept it at the top of the MWC the past few years. The only way for the Aztecs (17-13) to make it to the postseason this year is to perform well at the tournament.
