I want a tourney win too.
Conference Championships in Bball are great, but going 1 and out all the time is disheartening. No one remembers last years team except for 2 things: Fight night in Vegas and bowing out in the 1st game again.

When they compare the Cowboys to the Steelers do they talk about playoff victories ever? |

Still, I'll remember the players, team, and how well they played at home, the home-court winning streak, and the conference championship for a long time.

Cowboys and the Steelers is not a relevant comparison to college hoops. Again, I point to 1998 vs 1999 Utah as the best example of why tournament wins are such an important metric. The clearly superior Utah team is forever viewed as the inferior team because of tournament performance. |

You will remember it but no one outside of BYU will remember it. College hoop fans still remember names like Bryce Drew, Harold "the Show" Arcenaux, and Stephen Curry.

You're getting off focus. Nobody will forget Bryce Drew and Valpo. But no one will mention Valpo as a good basketball program or team or that they had that good of a team for even that one year.

I am saying that in the 10-years that the MWC has been in existence that Utah has been the superior program.

Who had a better season the past two years, UNLV or BYU? Which team is regarded nationally as the better team the past two years? I think it is clear the answer to both is UNLV.
