BYU & UNLV to play in NCAA Tournament
After winning the MWC Tournament, the UNLV Rebels secured their place in the 2008 NCAA Tournament alongside at-large big BYU, and both teams learned their fate on Selection Sunday. UNLV will face another strong mid-major with a successful history in Kent State in the #8/9 game in the Midwest while BYU also earned a #8 seed as they face #9 Texas A&M in the West Regional. Meanwhile, New Mexico is a #5 seed and San Diego State received a #7 seed in the NIT Tournament while the new CBI Tournament did not select a single Mountain West Conference basketball team.
