MWC Hoops Games, 1/8/2011

SDSU at Utah
The question is: will anybody show up for this game?  They asked for people "not to lose faith" and then proceeded to lose at Air Force.  This is a San Diego State game they have little hope of winning.  They gave SDSU a lot of trouble last season in both contests, before losing by 2 at home, and 7 on the road.  But the Utes had a major overhaul and this is a very different team from that one.  Boylen does return after a leave to attend to a family illness.  Is that motivation enough to get the Utes back on track?  Nope.  SDSU 71, Utah 63.

New Mexico at Wyoming
Defending Conference Champ New Mexico hits the road for their first conference game against the woefully bad Wyoming Cowboys.  They are playing better over the past two weeks than they did the first 6 weeks of the season, but it's still pretty bad.  New Mexico has a lot of weapons and they only need one of them to be firing to take care of business in Laramie.  New Mexico 62, Wyoming 52.

TCU at UNLV
The Rebels look to right the ship after dropping a home game.  They are playing a team that was competitive for a half against SDSU before the Aztecs put the clamps on them defensively.  I imagine we'll see a start-to-finish clamp down by UNLV, if their chemistry has recovered after some post-game locker room fireworks Wednesday night.  TCU will need big nights from both Ronnie Moss and Garlon Green to have a chance.  I don't think they get enough from those two to stay with the Rebels.  UNLV 78, TCU 56.
