Coaches scout teams from Big 12, Pac-10, Mountain West, A-10. Interesting stuff.

Not sure why they didn't cover San Diego State. More talented and a much better chance to win the MWC than UNLV. A younger bunch as well with more upside.

Isn't the MWC tournament in Las Vegas? I would say UNLV's chances of winning it are higher than SDSU's based on that.

I think they might be giving Charlotte a little bit too much credit.

My question with them would be, if they run into a team that is as big and strong as they are, will they answer every time they get punched?

Clearly not, considering how many times they've been run out of the gym this year.

I'll predict UNLV gets bounced in the first round against Utah. Of course this depends on SDSU winning their final 2 games (vs CSU, at AF) and gets the 3rd seed over the Running Rebels.

Utah should finish 5th, and they beat UNLV twice including winning at the Thomas & Mack Center back when UNLV was at full strength and had just beaten UNM and SDSU.

I might be wrong, but UNLV is cooked, regardless of where the MWC Tournament is. SDSU on the other hand really only has 1 bad loss (2 if Pacific doesn't win the Big West).
