The Mountain West conference tournament will be a must-watch spectacle that will get us right into the March Madness mood. There is always something crazy going on during the late nights in Las Vegas. Last year we saw 11th seed Wyoming make a semifinal run and the tournament ended with Sam Merrill hitting a ridiculous game winning shot, March 2020’s lone One Shining Moment.
In 2021, with four potential tournament teams, the Mountain West should provide us with tons of excitement.
We have San Diego State trying to finish what it started last year, and is geared to make an NCAA Tournament run. Utah State is looking to three-peat as Mountain West conference tournament champions. Colorado State is hoping its inspiring regular season turns into a deep conference tournament run and, at worst, an at-large bid. Boise States needs to win a couple of games to boost its tournament resume and stay in the field. San Jose State is in position to win its first Mountain West conference tournament game in over a decade as an eight seed. There are tons of storylines to cover, and the Mountain West is going to provide us with an outstanding week of basketball. Without further ado, let’s break it down.
