Do you mean the MWC? I think we can all agree we don't want to go back to the WAC. The boxing matches at the end of their basketball games are interesting though.

I think we all knew what you meant. I've noticed people like to correct others on here a lot for misspeaking on something minute. Not to call out the poster that did it in this thread but a lot do it.
just having hawaii & san jose st in the MWC kills it for me. We should play New Mex in hoops
I think from a purely basketball/RPI standpoint, it's an extremely intriguing league. If SMU join the league for example, I think it's about a guaranteed 5 bid league a year with some very tough teams. Obviously a very down year for the league overall this year though. At the same time, without Louisville, the AAC would have 4 bids this year and if you took away SMU, both leagues would be at 3 bids this year. So I guess I'm trying to say that SMU rising up really helps whatever conference they're in outside of the big 5 or whatever you want to call them at the moment.

the MWC probably seems a bit more stable. Fball rules the game but I see what you are saying. But as others have mentioned, I just think Uconn and Cinn are stuck for now.
East coast over west coast every time.. Those late games get no publicity - I prefer that east coast media bias to the deafening silence that comes out of the MWC or PAC12 hoops coverage.
