Wednesday MWC Games

BYU 80, Wyoming 65: BYU is due for a flat performance. It is the way of BYU sports, move up in the rankings, feel good about yourself, and flop. I don't think Wyoming is deep enough to capitalize, and I may be wrong about BYU. They may win by 30+ again. Either that or they are saving the letdown for SDSU on Saturday.

New Mexico 68, Air Force 54: Air Force is just not a good team. They aren't. They need outside shooting because they lack inside presence, but they don't have consistency from the outside either. New Mexico has struggled on the road, but 2,500 people at Klune Arena isn't the most intimidating place in the world to play. Perhaps the win at Wyoming will give them some confidence in this road game.

UNLV 82, CSU 65: how will both teams respond after disappointing losses their last time out? Well, I think UNLV will respond better than CSU will, because they are a better team. With that said, it is still difficult to win conference road games in the MWC. UNLV has a high tempo attack, somewhat similar in style to BYU's, and add in the fact that they put more defensive pressure on you, and this one could be ugly, no 91-47 ugly, but still, a 15-point loss at home is pretty ugly. CSU falls for the 2nd straight, giving BYU a 2-game lead in the loss column over the rest of the conference, thanks to SDSU's win at Utah last night.
