Welcome back everyone to the Hike’s Peak podcast, thank you for coming back to the mountain! We’re finally switching over to basketball, as Mountain West play is kicking into high gear. It’s been a few weeks since we last discussed the contenders that were emerging, so let’s now go over who’s hot and who’s not? Some teams, like Utah State, are off to historically fast starts, while others, like Boise State, are about to hit the panic button. I’ve identified the three hottest squads in the conference,
as well as three that have trouble brewing under the surface, complete with all the information you’ll need if you’re just catching up with Mountain West basketball now. No time to waste hikers, let’s dive right in!
