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: 13-3, 2-0 MW
Comment: The Wolf Pack, hit by an illness that spread across the roster, avoided a bad home loss by holding off New Mexico by three points Saturday. That followed a lopsided (and important) road win at Fresno State.
