(Apologies for the crackling sound, not sure why that happened) Jeremy and Andy are back to take a look at Mountain West hoops with the race for a bye heating up and also what is next for the top two teams in Boise State and Wyoming. The Cowboys snapped the Broncos winning streak and the two are at the top of the league with a single loss in league play apiece. They also discuss how the Mountain West needs to better promote its games and maybe even make a switch to have better games off of Stadium and on television. Both of the Wyoming vs. Boise State games were free on Stadium, but that just requires an extra step to watch and then to get the game on a TV over a mobile device. They also take a look at some of the bigger games that got rescheduled due to the various COVID-19 pauses throughout the league. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
