The knock on the Mountain West for years has been its NCAA Tournament futility. While San Diego State broke through last season, making the Nationla Championship game, the same can't be said for the rest of the conference.

The Aztecs may need to lead the Mountain West yet again after a handful of concerning results, including Nevada blowing a late lead and New Mexico being uncompetitive. However, there were some other success stories, like Utah State advancing out of the first round and Colorado State winning a First Four Game.

San Diego State didn’t cover in its first game, but was able to get past UAB in a hard fought affair while Utah State blew out TCU before bowing out to Purdue in the second round. 

It’s tough to look past Nevada’s blown lead, though when assessing the Mountain West, blowing a 17 point lead in the last six minutes to Dayton. As well, New Mexico no-showed its game 

against higher seeded Clemson, closing as a favorite in the game, but losing by double digits. 

We’ll see if San Diego State can make another March run to offset what was a banner regular season for the conference, sending six teams to the ‘Big Dance.’
