This is part 31 of a 32-part series covering each conference and conference tournament. These previews are meant to provide very bracketologist with the information they need to make informed projections about the teams of the conference.
The standings:
Utah Valley 13-3
New Mexico St 12-4
Grand Canyon 10-6
Chicago St 8-8
UMKC 7-9
Idaho 7-9
Cal St-Bakersfield 5-11
Seattle 5-11
Texas-Pan American 5-11
Tournament format:
Vegas is your host from March 13-15. Grand Canyon is ineligible (transitional D1) so the other 8 play in a simple-format tournament.
The matchups:
1) Utah Valley (19-10) vs. 8) Texas-Pan American (9-22)
4) UMKC (10-19) vs. 5) Idaho (14-17)
3) Chicago St (13-18) vs. 6) Cal St-Bakersfield (12-18)
2) New Mexico St (23-9) vs. 7) Seattle (13-16)
The stakes:
New Mexico St is probably a 13 seed; everyone else is on the 16 line. So, no stakes. UVU and NMSU are your two teams with a postseason chance - it's starting to look like NMSU will miss the NIT cutline. So there's not much to analyze here, frankly. Terrible conference from 3rd on back.
