Mountain West Conference Baby : San Diego St. Aztecs
So much for this being a rebuilding year for Steve Fisher's Aztecs. After San Diego State lost four key starters, including NBA lottery pick Kawhi Leonard, from a 34-3 team that was the best in school history, the prevailing thought was that the Aztecs would be in a dogfight just to finish third in ...

Mountain West Conference Baby : UNLV Rebels
Nevada-Las Vegas picked a bad time to play its worst half of the season and to have its worst shooting performance of the season.

New Mexico's final tune-up for Mountain West Conference play was highlighted by a spectacular performance by Kendall Williams.

Mountain West Conference Baby : Wyoming Cowboys
Leonard Washington was expected to provide toughness and a physical presence for a Wyoming program badly in need of such a transfusion. Being a double-digit scorer is an added bonus. The 6-foot-7 Washington entered Wyoming's 12-day break between games as the team's third-leading scorer (11.4) and wa... (original story)

As the competition improved and TCU faced some challenges, the early-season success dissipated and the optimistic viewpoint dimmed.
