Default MWC Tourney: Any Upsets?

Anyone think you'll see a first round upset in the MWC tourney this year?

TCU could lose to UNLV by 40.

Utah has a shot against UNM, but the lobos are a hot team and will be tough to beat.

Wyoming always brings its game (assuming they beat CSU) in the tourney, but I don't know if that was more of a Steve McClain thing, than a Wyoming thing, so the Cougars should cruise.

I don't consider the 4/5 game an upset if the 5 wins, but I think SDSU will win.

So, basically, unless Utah pulls of the upset, this may be a year where all the seeds hold.

MWC was awfully top-heavy this year. The least surprising upset to me would be Utah over UNM, but I wouldn't recommend holding your breath.


Possibly the most surprising would be if the Creason-less Rams upset Wyoming.

CSU beat the Utah women. Their records were diametrically opposed and CSU took it to the Utes.

Or you don't think it was an upset of monumental proportions?
