We saw a pair of big upsets in the first full week of February Mountain West men’s basketball hoops! Without any spoilers, let’s dive into this week’s power rankings!
1. San Diego State (20-5, 11-2)
Last week: 1
Skinny: San Diego State remains atop our power rankings again this week! They narrowly beat Utah State on the road in what was a very physical, emotional atmosphere from the opening tip. It followed by slashing UNLV on Saturday, 82-71 — when the score wasn’t very indicative of the game at hand. They’ve won seven of their last eight — the lone loss coming to Nevada — with five games left in the schedule; they are one game ahead of the Pack in the standings, but yet again possess the best odds at earning an at-large bid with its 8-5 record in Quad 1 and 2 games.
