Boise State men's basketball team played a dominant game against Air Force, winning 79-48 and improving to 20-8 overall. The team remains tied atop the Mountain West standings at 11-4. Boise State moved up to No. 26 in the NET rankings. Clemson secured a crucial victory over Pitt, extending their winning streak and positioning themselves well in the ACC standings.
Boise State is up to No. 26 in the NET rankings after last night’s blowout win at Air Force. The Broncos now have a higher NET than Colorado State, Utah State and Nevada. https://t.co/fcpCvH1ggu
From an ACCT perspective last night pretty much assured Clemson at Wake determining the 4 seed/double bye assuming Wake doesn’t lose both of the next two games.
Clemson remains at No. 23 in the NET rankings after last night's win over Pitt. The bigger news is Boise State moved from No. 31 to No. 26 after a 31-point win over Air Force. So Clemson is now: -5-3 vs. Quad 1 -4-3 vs. Quad 2 -6-2 vs. Quad 3 -5-0 vs. Quad 4
No. 20 SDSU struggles against San Jose State (again) but grinds out a 72-64 win on an absolutely bonkers night in the Mountain West (two overtime games and another that was headed to OT before a halfcourt heave banked in). https://t.co/0Pfe0zFfwb
Tonight's win at Kansas was BYU's second this season when trailing at halftime (BYU trailed 35-29 at the break); BYU beat NC State in Las Vegas back in November after trailing by five points at halftime.
Current Mountain West KenPom rankings after movement from Tuesday's games with rankings from Tuesday morning in parenthesis: 18 SDSU (16) 32 CSU (29) 33 UNM (32) 39 BSU (42) 40 Nev (41) 42 USU (40) 75 UNLV (75) 181 Wyo (182) 206 FS (213) 241 SJSU (257) 263 AFA (255)
Tonight's win was BYU's first this season when trailing or tied with 5:00 remaining in regulation (1-8) and ended a string of 16 consecutive losses when trailing or tied at the 5:00 mark. BYU is 19-0 this season and has won 22 straight when leading into the final five minutes.
Tonight in the Mountain West included: * Two overtime games * Two crazy banked in 3-pointers at the end of regulation * 9-win SJSU almost beats SDSU * 11-win Fresno State almost beats Utah State The updated standings. Five teams still in play for the MW title. https://t.co/Y5hHdVaG07
Mountain West standings through Tuesday: 11-4 Utah State 11-4 Boise State 11-5 San Diego State 10-5 Nevada 10-5 UNLV 9-6 New Mexico 8-8 Colorado State 6-9 Wyoming 4-11 Fresno State 2-13 Air Force 2-14 San Jose State #mwbb
No. 20 #SDSU holds off scrappy San Jose State 72-64. Jaedon LeDee has another *monster game* with 27 points, 11 rebounds.
Meanwhile, in Viejas Arena... No. 20 San Diego State 64, San Jose State 60 with 59.4 left in the game.
Night isn’t over everyone!!! San Jose State has cut the #20 San Diego State lead down to five with 5:00 to play. 59-54 Aztecs. CBS Sports Network.
Give Utah State a ton of credit. They just know how to win games late. Super impressive again tonight. Darius Brown might be my pick for Mountain West Player of the Year at this point. Two HUGE shots tonight. Broncos still tied for first place at 11-4 with three to go.
Because of Wake Forest and N.C. State's losses tonight, Clemson just has to: -Beat Notre Dame on the road -Beat Syracuse at home -Beat Wake Forest on the road And Clemson will be among the top four teams in the ACC and will receive a double bye in the conference tournament.
If Clemson: -Beats Notre Dame on the road -Beats Syracuse at home -Beats Wake Forest on the road Then Clemson will receive a double bye as the No. 4 seed in the ACC tournament in March.
Wow, tonight could not have gone better for Clemson hoops. - Big W over Pitt - Boise State wins big, likely moving into the NET top 30 and adding another Q1 win - Notre Dame upsets Wake, FSU upsets NC State, moving Clemson into the ACC's 4-seed A SUPER Tuesday for the Tigers.

For a second game in a row, Clemson finished off an opponent at home. A win over Pitt counted as the Tigers' sixth win in their last seven games. With March approaching, Clemson is trending in the right direction. https://t.co/UuLoo1oBnR
For the first time tonight, BYU leads. 59-58 with 4:50 left in the second half. #kubball
Tigers beat Pitt 69-62 to take over sole possession of 5th place in the ACC, a half-game behind Wake. Tigers face Wake in the regular season finale. Clemson at Notre Dame Sat
Clemson (10-7 ACC) has now taken a lead on Pitt (9-8) in the conference standings. Syracuse (10-8) and Wake Forest (10-6) at the 10-win mark, vying for that No. 4 seed (and double bye) in the ACC tourney. https://t.co/mBInC8bqxp
Brad Brownell’s winning streak over Pitt extends to 12 with a 69-62 home victory. Tigers improve to 20-8 overall and 10-7 in the ACC. That’s a gutty win for Clemson.
Clemson beats Pitt, 69-62, and Littlejohn Coliseum is ecstatic. Six win in the Tigers’ last seven games. https://t.co/oX5xQJTHWX
#kubball leads at halftime having never trailed yet in this one, but Kansas did allow a late 3 from BYU. Looked like Self was still upset about it as they went back toward the locker room, seemingly giving Timberlake quite a bit to think about. https://t.co/nT970r2SQe
BYU has the advantage on 3s so far tonight but #kubball leads with 8 minutes left until halftime. Jayhawks did just see Furphy exit with two fouls. Furphy spent some time at the end of the bench speaking with Brady Morningstar after. Will be interesting if Furphy returns. https://t.co/RDU7t4tXk1
