Wyoming at TCU has already started, since I'm late getting this out. It is no surprise to anyone, except New Mexico fans, that TCU has controlled this game.
CSU at New Mexico
The Colorado State Rams have a chance to announce to the conference that they truly have arrived. They go to the Pit to play a New Mexico team fresh off a loss to a bad Wyoming team that announced to the conference that they really were rebuilding. It would, however, take a perfect storm for CSU to pull off the upset. It should be close, with CSU having had over a week off to rest up and prepare. But in the end, I think Dairese Gary carves up the CSU defense just enough to give the Lobos the victory. New Mexico 77, CSU 70.
UNLV at SDSU
The Rebels are looking to exact revenge for a loss in the MWC Tournament Final last season. I think the loss to BYU woke them up a little bit. SDSU is a better defensive team: they are longer and more physical than this year's Rebels. These two teams actually mirror each other quite well. They both tend to "play up" for the big games. Cox Arena will definitely be rocking tonight. The Rebels need something to happen on the road, after dropping a game at home to BYU. I think they have the type of team to go in there and get it done. We may look back at the end of the season and see the loss to BYU as a turning point in their season and the Rebels played on a mission after that. Or we could look back and say that proved that they are a beatable team...I'm still not buying into SDSU fully, so I'm going with the upset: UNLV 69, SDSU 66. Regardless of who wins, this is a game worth watching, listening to, following online, or whatever method you use to keep track of hoops games.
