Fade the mountain west thread

I read someone on Sunday write that soon as selection Sunday started. That person might just be right..

I’m already on UVA tonight.

I’ll be taking Dayton Thursday.

Clemson and tcu friday  

maybe Colorado tomorrow against Boise state.

I definitely won’t fade San Diego state.. that’s a final 4 team there.

Agree. These dump conferences as a short dog or favorite are laughable.

 Man watching the NC state run make me wonder do they have a chance to make another run in this tournament. They got good guard play and a big that can definitely make plays by scoring and passing. Might do a small future +15000 to win the tournament. What's you input. 

@Puerta2Puerta

Okay. Got to ask why is SDSU a final four team? This team is far far far worst than last years team?

I meant to write that sdsu was a final 4 team from last year. I wish I could edit some of my posts.

but hard to fade a sdsu team that still has core pieces from last years run. I’d say they have a chance of being eliminated the next round.

Watch out for Nevada..good experience lots of Seniors, Blackshear can take over a game, essentially same team from last year that got embarrassed by Arizona State in the first round.  I think they give Dayton all they can handle.

I have watched a fair amount of San Diego state games and they are nowhere close to a final four team. They are a fraction of the team that made the deep run last year and really miss the likes of Matt Bradley as a go-to guard scoring option as well as Keshad Johnson. I can’t get there on this team and wouldn’t be surprised if they lost to UAB first round. Outside of LeDee this team is very meh as I am not a fan of their guard play. On a side note, I do like Nevada vs Dayton. A big geographical advantage here for the Wolfpack as the game is in Salt Lake City and I expect to see a nice Nevada contingent. Also think New Mexico can beat an offensively challenged Clemson team.

Double digit seeds from M W are 1-21 SU

.4-26 ATS in tourney 

wait wait wait, I was with you up until the end there.  A final 4 team? 

Guys reread my last post. I mean to write that sdsu was a final 4 team last year! That’s why I can’t fade them in the first round!

Who care how many teams they chose. These teams usually are crap.

exactly I’ve watched a lot of mountain west games this year more than I’ve done in the last years. I can’t see most of these teams matching up against the more physical teams from the ACC big 12 or A10. Not to mention some of these conferences have quicker or more stronger athletes..

@Isuckbadly

 totally agree, this team is for real.  

@Puerta2Puerta

 Best of luck on the plays Puerta2

Majority of public on UAB to beat sdsu SU or cover..

@Puerta2Puerta

 You better call Saul before you fade the Lobos and they will beat Clemson to show they are legit even though Clemson is not a good team. House and company to go far into this 2024 tournament, best of luck to all

Have always liked sdsu but this squad is not a final four team historically have struggled from perimeter but this team has no shooters. And having to rely on a square headed muscle man down the stretch every game is gonna wear on them

look at all of Clemson quad 1 wins compare to New Mexico’s. 

3 New Mexico’s quad 1 wins were neutral. While 1 of Clemson was neutral. 3 of of Clemons quad 1 wins were on the road including against Alabama and North Carolina. New Mexico’s 3 neutral quad 1 wins were all in the conference.. so I don’t know how you can convince me that New Mexico take down clemson easy.

we will see Friday.

he’s gotta be a lobo fan because you can’t take anything away from Clemson. They are dangerous in the first round and possibly 2nd.

Man no respect for Clemson or much of the ACC here.. can’t wait for the tournament to begin.

I’ve watched CSU several times and I think they’re terrible. So is UVA, but I think the defense UVA plays will be a shock to CSU. 

I also think UVA will be extremely motivated and come in with a chip on their shoulder. 

Mountain was a tricky conference. There were games that were definitely rigged for sure. That UNLV vs Air Force and San Jose vs San Diego St to name couple.

But SDSU being a final 4 team? Ugh hell to the no.
