The 22-4 Wyoming Cowboys are heading south to play the 21-4 Colorado State Rams. When the Rams traveled to Wyoming last month the Cowboys won 84 to 78 in overtime. This time the Rams are at home and they are looking for payback and for a better seed in the March Madness tournament. Wyoming vs Colorado State, not only affects these two teams, but also the rest of the Mountain West. The Mountain West will likely get three teams in, but have a good chance to see four of their members make it into the tournament.

The Mountain West standings are lead by Boise State, followed by Wyoming (one game back), and Colorado State (two games back). San Diego State is three game behind Boise, next at UNLV 4.5 behind, and Fresno State at 5.5. Utah State and Nevada are both tied at 6.5, while New Mexico and San Jose State are too far back (9.5 & 10 respectively).
The four teams that find themselves basically all tied in the NET ranked 30’s are Boise State at 30, Colorado State at 31, San Diego State at 33, & Wyoming at 34. Utah State at 64 and Fresno State at 73, have both dropped about twenty positions in the last two weeks and look unlikely to be selected as cold teams. However, UNLV at 91 has been red hot and has jumped up 25 spots in the rankings during that same span.
Colorado State suffered their first home loss of the season this past week as the Rams fell to the red hot Runnin’ Rebels of Las Vegas. The Rams are looking to reignite their home crowd as they take on their in-conference rivals, the Wyoming Cowboys. Wyoming is also coming off of a surprising loss, as they fell eight spots in the rankings with a loss to New Mexico and a lackluster win against Air Force. One of these teams will receive their fifth loss of the season, while the others will jump up bracketlogist’s boards with a victory.
Roddy of the Rams averages 19.4 points per game, and while at home he averages 8.2 rebounds, 1.4 blocks, and 3.5 assists. Therefore, the Rams will have a boost from their star player. Oppositely, Ike of the Cowboys shoots 1.2 fewer points per game, .4 fewer rebounds, and .2 fewer steals when playing away. Despite the Cowboys being eight and three on the road, they don’t match up as well against the Rams in Fort Collins. Wyoming vs Colorado State will be a can’t miss matchup for two Mountain West powerhouses this year.
March Madness is only a few weeks away and teams are playing for the right and wrong side of the bubble. The Mountain West had two of the top three risers (UNLV (+25 spots) & San Diego State(+21)), but also two of the top three sinkers (Utah State (-21) & Fresno State)-17)). Besides the Mountain West, the Atlantic 10 saw both St. Bonaventure (+23) and VCU (+19) make impressive pushes for the tournament. While St. John’s in the Big East rose twenty spots putting them in prime bubble range. Arkansas, North Texas, Virginia Tech, Michigan, Memphis, & Dayton have all made significant pushes of ten spots or more to try and win bids as of recent.
Florida State continues to be the biggest loser as they have lost seven of their last eight matchups. Honestly, it should have been eight in a row, but they lucked out against the Clemson Tigers, beating them by one. Now Florida State has dropped to an embarrassing 107 after a loss to Boston College. Teams that looked good a few weeks ago are starting to slip with Indiana, Washington State, UAB, Belmont, & Oregon all slipping at least ten spots recently.
