MWC Media Day!

So the MWC media and coaches will release their preseason picks today. Here's a look at mine:

1. BYU
2. SDSU
3. UNM
4. UNLV
5. WYO
6. UTAH
7. AFA
8. TCU
9. CSU

Lots of people have returning talent which will make for a topsy-turvy year. Anyone from 1-6 has a legitimate shot at winning the MWC. UNLV, last year's darlings, won't fall back too far because I think Lon Kruger is that good of a coach. I'm still not sold on Utah and its four guard lineup. Air Force has Tim Anderson and not much else; CSU and TCU will be bad.

New Mexico's finish will largely depend on if Tony Danridge returns in time for conference. With him, they're one of the favorites. Without, they're middle-of-the-pack.

All-MWC
Guard - Brandon Ewing
Guard - JR Giddens
Forward - Lorenzo Wade
Forward - Kevin Langford
Center - Luke Nevill

MWC MVP - Brandon Ewing. Darren Prentice has this guy's number, frustrating him to the point that he threw some blows in UNM's victory over Wyoming in the Pit, but no one else has an answer for him. He'll hover around 20 ppg and keep Wyoming in the mix.
