Week 15 Mountain West Men's basketball schedule

The New Mexico Lobos enter the week with a half game lead in the 2013 Mountain West Conference standings but the top three games of the week all involve the teams that are challenging UNM for the MWC regular season title.

• The San Diego St. Aztecs at the Colorado St. Rams - Wed. 8:15 pm MT | Moby Arena, Ft. Collins, CO | TV: CBS Sports Network: The Aztecs enter the game a half game behind the Rams, who are a half game behind New Mexico. This is a must win game for both teams if they still have aspirations of claiming a share of the MWC regular season title. CSU came very close to winning in San Diego and is a on roll so, advantage Rams.
• San Diego State at the UNLV Runnin' Rebels - Sat., 6 pm PT | Thomas & Mack Center, Las Vegas, NV | TV: NBC Sports Network: In a normal year, this would be the game of the week but the importance of the SDSU-CSU game Wednesday puts this game in the 1a slot. having said all that, this will still be a marquee match up - particularly if the Aztecs can come out of Ft. Collins with a win (and assuming UNLV doesn't get upset at Air Force).
• UNLV at the Air Force Falcons - Wed. 7 pm MT | Clune Arena, Colorado Springs, CO | TV: Time Warner Cable SportsNet: The Rebels are back on course after beating UNM at home while the Falcons got knocked back with a loss at the Nevada Wolf Pack Saturday night. UNLV needs a win to keep up with UNM, CSU and SDSU. Air Force needs a win to stay in the running for an NCAA Tournament bid. Skip the reality TV - this will be really compelling television.
