🏔️Mountain West Resumes🏔️ Conference play in the @MountainWest begins Tuesday. 6 teams have an at-large shot. MW should feel great about min 4 bids, but 5 is doable, (5 is in today), & 6 is not 0% odds either. CSU/SDSU/Nevada - good shape UNM/USU - in, bubble BSU - out, bubble https://t.co/26cqMqyFNp
