Chris Murray, Jim Krajewski and Duke Ritenhouse discuss the week to come in local sports. Chris Murray/RGJ
Each week, RGJ sports writer Chris Murray will rank the Mountain West basketball teams. Here are this week’s rankings, with each team’s record and a comment. All records and rankings based on the games completed by Monday night.
1. Nevada
Rank last week: 1
Record: 21-5, 10-2 MW
Comment: Nevada has occupied the top spot in these rankings all season, although it was on the edge of losing that position after falling to UNLV (if Boise State didn’t lose Saturday at Utah State, the Broncos would have moved up to the top line).
