Pack favored at MW Tournament, but history shows path hard
The Wolf Pack proved during the regular season it was the best team in the Mountain West but when it comes conference tournament time that distinction historically doesn't meant much.
In fact, it might actually be a deterrent.
Consider: In the 17 MW Tournaments, the No. 1 seed, which Nevada sports this season, has won only three times.
Despite having the league’s top record and its most talented team, the odds aren’t in the Wolf Pack’s favor.
