A way-too-early look at each MW’s team’s NCAA Tournament chances in 2026-27
The Mountain West will be vying for multiple NCAA Tournament bids in 2026-27. But who currently has the best odds?

Skinny: UC Davis has won 18-plus games in three of the last four seasons, last appearing in the NCAA Tournament in 2016-17. They were one of the seven aforementioned Big West teams who finished above .500 in conference play and retained some of their top talent, namely Connor Sevilla and Brayden Fagbemi. Still, there is an adjustment period playing in a different conference, especially since this group will be worse, which lessens its opportunity.
