Wow, looks like NMSU got sweet revenge against Nevada for ruining their perfect season. Wouldn't that have been something if the Aggies hadn't lost to the Wolfpack, the would be 26-0 right now. Wonder if that would've pushed them past Hawaii in the AVCA rankings.
Idaho seems to really be turning it on. Too bad they had such a rough preseason, otherwise they'd probably be in the running for an NCAA berth. On the other side of that is San Jose State who seems to be falling off. They had a great preseason, but have been very inconsistent during conference play. Five games to beat Fresno...not so great.
Thanks for the scores aaronic!!

Outside of Hawaii and NMSU, could be an interesting conference tourney for seeds #3-7 --there have been a lot of 5 game matches between those teams (Boise went 5 with Idaho and Nevada in last 2 weeks, Fresno went 5 with Nevada...etc).
I know nobody wants to be seed # 7 or 8 and have to play the Big Girls in round 1, but the rest should be pretty interesting.
Of course, by "interesting" I mean a couple competitive matches until UH and NMSU sweep through everyone to teh conference championship. Only 2 WAC teams in the NCAAs this year I am afraid.
Anyone think that Nevada gets in if they make it to championhip match, beating NMSU...that is the only scenario I can see to get 3 teams in the Dance....and even then, that might punt NMSU out.

I agree. I really feel that the only chance Nevada has of getting an NCAA Tourney invite is if they reach the WAC Tournament finals. It would help them immensely if they got the No.3 seed, as I'm confident Hawaii will sweep past the rest of the WAC season and enter the tourney with No.1 seed, making NMSU the No.2 seed. That would set Nevada up against NMSU in the semifinals. Seeing as how the Wolfpack beat the Aggies in Reno, I would like their chances in that match.
Also should NMSU not reach the tourney finals, I don't think they will get shafted. I mean they have wins over two teams ranked in the current top twenty. It would be hard not to give them an invite.
