Too tired

I'm too tired to give a full breakdown of the day's action in the MWC Tournament. Far and away the best game was New Mexico-CSU. The whole thing just reminded me why I love college basketball and why I love the month of March. Both teams played well and played their hearts out with their NCAA Tournament hopes on the line. The Lobos pulled it out and will face BYU Friday night at 7 p.m. MT on CBS College Sports. BYU edged TCU in the day's first game. UNLV topped Air Force and my Runnin' Utes lost to San Diego State. The Aztecs and Rebels play at 9:30 p.m. MT on CBS College Sports.

I'm disappointed Utah lost, but, hey, SDSU is a great team. I'm not one calling for coach Jim Boylen's head; I wouldn't think it was the end of the world if he was brought back for another year. I'm anxious to see how this group of players develops with a full year of playing together now behind them. Anyway, that's all for now.

MWC Quarters tomorrow

(9) TCU (11-21, 2-15 MWC) topped (8) Wyoming (11-21, 3-14 MWC) in the play-in game today, so the quarterfinals for the Mountain West Tournament are now all set. It will be (1) BYU vs. (9) TCU at 1 p.m. MT, (4) Colorado State vs. (5) New Mexico at 3:30 p.m. MT, (2) San Diego State vs. (7) Utah at 7 p.m. MT and (3) UNLV vs. (6) Air Force at 9:30 p.m. MT. All the games will be televised on The Mtn, with the second and fourth games being simulcast on CBS College Sports. I'll be on the scene in Las Vegas and you can follow me on Twitter throughout the day tomorrow as well as throughout the MWC Tournament. I'll be back on the blog tomorrow night with recap and analysis of the first full day as well as to preview the second day of the proceedings.
