The Mountain West may have no bottom.
Overcoming second half collapse, San Jose State takes down UNLV in conference opening thriller
The Mountain West Conference basketball season has all the appearances of being a meat grinder as conference play started. The Spartans showed the highly regarded Rebels of UNLV that coming into San Jose will not be the easy game as in years past.
COWBOYS FURIOUS SECOND-HALF COMEBACK BID FALLS SHORT
Down 18 in the second half, Wyoming flexed their defensive muscle to take the lead with a little more than 3 minutes left in the game. That comeback took its toll as the Cowboys went scoreless in the last 96 seconds to eventually fall to the Bulldogs in their conference opening game in Fresno.
Boise State comes up short at Nevada in 74-72 thriller to open conference play
The Broncos defense of last year’s regular season championship started on a sour note as the return of Marcus Shaver Jr. and a double-double performance from Chibuzo Agbo could not get them over the hump in Reno against the Wolf Pack.
