Silly

Yay!  Cougars are the MWC Men's Basketball Champions!



BYU, Utah and New Mexico ended the regular season in a three way tie for first place in the conference.  So, logically, they all cut down the nets, and all paraded around with banners declaring themselves champions.  75% of the conference games played Saturday ended with the winning team declaring themselves champs.

And it's not out of the question that a different team wins the conference tournament.  SDSU and UNLV are both capable of it.  If so, that would be a fourth team cutting down the nets this year.  It's all just a bit silly if you ask me.  Utah, BYU and NM are all good teams and have earned their positions, but it just wouldn't feel quite right having a championship party knowing that two other teams are declaring themselves champs of the same thing somewhere else.
