Can we be real there are also two teams that can recruit top 50 recruits SDSU and UNLV . The other schools in the conference are having difficulties recruiting top 50 recruits, the life blood of establishing a true program , They are going to need to build on transfers. Still think the MW is a 3 bid league ? Well, last question first - we can be if someone not named SDSU or CSU wins the MW tourney. That much is hard to debate.First question - sure. Second question - can you name any one of our consensus top 50 recruits? Where did we recruit guys like Zo Wade, Habel, Malcolm, Xavier from - you know, the guys we established a true program with? I would respectfully disagree with your contention that we could get three teams in provided someone other than us or CSU wins the conference tourney. Should that happen, I think it comes at the expense of either us or the Ramses... With the Lobos sliding back into obscurity and Vegas crapping the bed with regularity, the national perception of the MWC is one of utter insignificance. And in a year when the mountain goat is down, it would seem the perception is shifting back once again to the P5, as evidnced by the six - count 'em - six ranked teams in each of the ACC and B12. Hell, hald the ranked teams in the B12 are below .500 in conference play. Even the shadow-of-its-former-self Big Leat has three ranked teams. And with the WCC and MVC looking like 1-bid leagues, the (re-)marginalization of the "mid-major" looks to be almost complete. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Can we be real . The MW is a weak conference . There are two teams that played decent OOC games and actually beat a decent PAC school SDSU and UNLV . there are also two teams that can recruit top 50 recruits SDSU and UNLV . The other schools in the conference are having difficulties recruiting top 50 recruits, the life blood of establishing a true program , They are going to need to build on transfers. CSU has 3 fifth year seniors , plus a fourth year junior and another junior in their starting line up . Still think the MW is a 3 bid league ? As for coaches , it is time for the refs to enforce the coaches box . T up the coaches who do not stay in them or toss rhem. Coach during practice and time outs and let the players play the game . Coaches that think they are more important then the game do not deserve any praise . The CSU coaches and other like him are not an example of a real good coach by their behavior on the court . You're asking us to "be real", then you want to enforce a coach's box?? Good one Stan. Crazy, hyper coaches are part of the game of basketball. And in my humble opinion, are good for the game.

SDSU will get in to the NCAA tournament for sure as I think they will win the MW regular season title. Both Wyoming and CSU really cost themselves last night and there is NO way they BOTH get at-large bids. If SDSU wins the MW Tournament, it is more than likely the MW is a one-bid league. Just look at their upcoming schedules.
CSU plays FSU, @wyo, UNLV, NM, @sdsu, @fsu in their next 6 games before the last 4 which they should be favored to win. They have a good RPI (35) but they have 1 good win (home vs. SDSU) and they have 6 games left against teams with RPI of 165 or higher. Wyo still plays CSU, @sdsu, @unlv and @nm - they basically need to win the rest of their games as their RPI is in the 80s and their non conference SOS is among the worst in the nation (currently 338 out of 351).

True top 10 Basketball programs are built on being able to recruit top 50 to top 100 HS players . Kentucky, Duke, ,Arizona, Kansas ...... that is the level I hope we are aspiring to . Then you do add a transfer or two to supplement your program. The other teams not programs are trying to get there but can not sign the better HS recruits .. We have just started to get closer to the quality program level . K.L , Shepard , Pope , Allen , Kell , Cheatham . Most of the MW schools are now at the level we were at bringing in transfers and coaching up HS players . I hope there is a difference between our Program and just other teams who do well one year then drop .
I also am of the belief that good coaches do most of their quality work , during practice times between games . Use the TV time outs , the coaches time outs and half time to fine tune things during games . Look at the real good coaches , they do just that . Any Coach similar to CSU's coach , the old Utah coach , old Wyoming coach .... are just putting on a show , maybe trying out for comedy central , Old Globe or TMZ . There is a coaches box T every coach who leaves it . I pay and want to see the players play the name , not some guy who thinks or shows that they think they are more important then the game and they are not even close . they are a determinant to the game . T and eject - with a hefty fine for both .
