Quick Tour Around the Mountain West
With the unveiling of the Mountain West Conference's preseason poll just a day away, here's an update on a few of the things happening around the league.
The San Diego State Aztecs, for example, are hoping to find a way to cope without departed star guard Brandon Heath. Defending champion UNLV has learned that its 7-foot freshman center from Cameroon can receive a scholarship but must redshirt, in a dispute over the validity of some of his academic records.
Meanwhile, heralded new coach Steve Alford apparently has brought a renewed chemistry to New Mexico, even though the Lobos will be without injured senior forward Tony Dandrige for months.
And the CSU Rams?
They enjoyed probably their best day of the season when they opened practice last week, considering new coach Tim Miles has only one returning starter and a terribly depleted roster.
Bank on them to finish last in that preseason poll.
