Earlier today, the Mountain West Conference announced a 20-game men’s and women’s basketball conference-only schedule to comply with each county, local and state COVID-19 guidelines of each university. The conference slate is expected to be played in 11 weeks.
This changes the original conference schedule that was unveiled a month ago from 18 games to 20.
In the new conference slate, MWC teams will play each other in a two-game series in the same week with a one-day break in between games in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during the season.
