Brief white out conditions and snow falling in Las Vegas on Valentine’s Day isn’t as odd as the excitement across the Mountain West this season. In the middle of the new madness?
San Jose State basketball (16-10, 7-6 MW).
Anything with the name San Jose and Spartans is still hard to swallow for some, but at SJSU, basketball is part of the overall renaissance around athletics in general.
For UNLV (16-10, 5-9), the idea of losing twice in a season to the upstart Spartans is probably another hard pill for the ol’ status quo, especially with SJS’ 75-66 win at Thomas Mack Arena.
