March Madness: How to Follow the Mountain West Conference
LARAMIE -- A record six teams from the Mountain West Conference earned a bid Sunday to the upcoming NCAA Tournament.
New Mexico claimed the only automatic bid after rolling through the league tourney last week in Las Vegas.
San Diego State, which fell to the Lobos 68-61 in Saturday's championship game, snagged the conference's highest seed, landing No. 5 in the East Region after capping a 24-10 regular season campaign. The Aztecs are coming off a miracle run to last April's national championship game where they eventually lost to UConn.
The Mountain West's regular season champ, Utah State, will be an eighth seed while Nevada sits at 10 and New Mexico at 11.
Boise State and Colorado State are in Dayton to take part in the First Four, which is scheduled to begin Tuesday.
