The Mountain West Insider

On this episode of the Mountain West Insider Podcast, the crew is joined by Geoff Grammer for a deep dive into the current state of Mountain West basketball. They break down the league’s NCAA Tournament outlook, why December was a pivotal month for the conference, and which teams are separating themselves from the pack. The conversation covers Utah State’s dominance and defensive evolution, San Diego State’s surprising identity questions, Boise State’s bubble concerns, and Colorado State’s offensive firepower paired with defensive flaws. Geoff also provides in-depth insight on New Mexico under new head coach Eric Olin, explaining why the Lobos’ system-driven rebuild is ahead of schedule. The episode wraps with full regular-season predictions and a discussion on which teams can realistically make noise in March. The Field of 68 is presented by BetMGMStart earning points for listening to this podcast. Download the Autograph app here and use referral code: F68Download the VLTED app hereDownload Rithmm hereThe Field of 68 merch store is now LIVESUBSCRIBE to the Field of 68 Youtube ChannelSUBSCRIBE to the Field of 68 DailyFOLLOW:* Twitter* Instagram* Youtubehttps://thefieldof68.comGambling problem?
