Mountain West Tournament Favorite: San Diego State (+240)
San Diego State is the strongest candidate for the Mountain West's best team, but even the Aztecs have faltered lately, dropping their final two games of the season and skidding into the tournament as the No. 5 seed. That said, they have the luxury of trotting out Jaedon LeDee, an All-American candidate that the league still hasn't learned how to stop. His physicality, quickness, size, and footwork make him a matchup nightmare at any position. Unfortunately, the Aztecs got a nightmare draw here. They will face No. 4 UNLV in the quarterfinals, who will undoubtedly be playing in front of a favorable crowd in their home arena.
