Is it just me - or do you see this conference, no matter how many teams end up in the NCAAT, as struggling in post season once again?
Whether SDSU or UNM are “the best”, or whoever else you want to put in that category … I don’t care what rating they may have achieved at some point of the season … they all look extremely beatable by mediocre squads. Not to say they can’t play well and win, but seeing how incomplete and non-semi dominant they are.
Distant past, you know SDSU was pretty damn good. Same with BYU with Jimmer back then. Recent past, UNR had a pretty tough team to beat with Muss, SDSU a little bit, too. Boise has fielded some “solid” teams …
But now … I don’t know, seems like it will most likely be another o-fer NCAAT. Of course matchups and seedings come into play but in general, the top third of the league isn’t strong. Not nationally. Doesn’t look that way to me.
I guess the good part of all of that is you have a chance in every game within league. The separation may be rather large in terms of games ahead/behind or rating within conference, but the bottom doesn’t seem quite as awful and the top doesn’t look amazingly difficult.
