Ranking WAC Basketball E-mail

Here is the (my) ranking of WAC basketball thus far. I have tried to put more emphasis on performance than potential, but it is obvious that not all these teams will finish with a winning percentage similar to what they have now. Only games against D1 teams were considered.

1. Nevada Wolf Pack- 2-1 No big wins yet, and the loss to UNLV must have been hard to swollow after giving up a big lead, but Nevada seems to be right where they should at this point.

2. Idaho Vandals- 2-1 A win at Utah was a good starting point, but a loss to Texas Southern proves these Vandals aren't quite there yet.

3. Utah State Aggies- 1-2 With two disappointing losses on the road and one ugly road win, the Aggies are not where they want to be. The Aggies held leads most of all three games though, so once they can learn to finish, expect the Aggies to be back to where they were last season.

4. Louisiana Tech Bulldogs- 2-1 The Bulldogs don't have any big wins, but nobody in the WAC does. Miami Ohio gave a good scare to Kentucky, but could not compete with La Tech.

5. Boise State Broncos- 2-2 Boise started off on the road and played well, but they don't seem to have the overall talent to compete with teams even at the level of the WAC right now.

6. Fresno State Bulldogs- 1-1 Fresno State should be 2-0 right now. They have one of the best players, if not the best NBA prospect, in Seay.

7. San Jose State Spartans- 0-1 With only 1 game against a D1 team, we don't know much about the Spartans. The 10 point loss to Washington suggests they might have a good team, but Washington is weak when their guards play poorly. Because of this, SJSU has no claim above the 7 spot.

8. New Mexico State Aggies- 0-2 I expected NMSU to start slow, but a blowout at Saint Mary's and a bad loss to rival New Mexico is not the way to go.

9. Hawaii Rainbow Warriors- 2-2 Even though the Warriors have a .500 record, all 4 games have been played at home and they look like a college pickup team.

They will need Seay's help against San Diego State tomorrow. The WAC is looking terrible in games against the MWC this year. they are currently 1-6. Hopefully this trend can change tomorrow and next Wednesday. Nice summary of the WAC.

Thanks, Sterling. I tried to stay away from putting USU higher than they should be just because they have the ability to be first. They aren't playing like a first place team. I think seeing how Fresno plays vs. SDSU will help put NMSU's loss to Saint Mary's in perspective too by seeing how good SDSU really is.
Nice to see Nevada at the top

As a Nevada fan I love to see Nevada at the top of lists like this, but I think in reality it is Nevada and Utah State in a tie for first. The Aggies will bounce back...
