FIRE (Alarm) At The Pit Delays Game
You’ll have a hard time finding a crazier first half than what we’re seeing at The Pit tonight between Colorado State and New Mexico.
First, there was a possession in which New Mexico scored a deep two-point basket, but upon further review, the Lobos had SIX players on the court, which earned them a team technical. CSU’s Dorian Green hit both free throws, but it was ruled that...

BYU's Top 10 Ranking Premature?
For those who haven’t heard, the Brigham Young Cougars bounced into the top 10 in this week’s ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll (No. 11 in the latest AP).

While a congratulations...

There wasn’t.
For the first time since 2007-08, the Air Force Falcons have defeated a Mountain West opponent in the regular season other than Wyoming.
On Wednesday night at Clune Arena, Air Force...

The Colorado State Rivals.com does a brief blog breakdown of the Border War between CSU and Wyoming.
The Rams’ Adam Nigon led CSU with 21 points, all of which came from downtown. He’s a senior and Colorado native, so you had to expect him to be pumped for this game. Nigon is also a former walk-on.

Mountain West Bowl Schools Swapping Helmets
Three out of four. That’s how many Mountain West Conference schools decided to mix it up in bowl games when it came to selecting what helmet to wear.
Air Force, Boise State and Texas Christian all did something a little different, though the Broncos also wore their one-sided helmet emblem in the Week 1 victory over Virginia Tech in Washington D.C.
