3 Mountain West Betting Storylines To Watch
1. Utah State Making Its Move
Five teams had shorter odds of winning the Mountain West title than Utah State heading into the season, thanks in large part to the Aggies’ leading scorer Great Osobor transferring to Washington. Those college basketball odds have gone from +700 to -105 thanks to a 13-1 start that included a win over Iowa. The only loss came to San Diego. The Aggies topped Wyoming, San Diego State and Nevada by a combined total of nine points.

Boise State’s Mountain West odds went from +300 to +425 despite winning its first three conference games. Wins over Clemson and Saint Mary’s are the best showings in non-conference play.
Nevada dropped its first three conference games while San Diego State was knocked out of the top 25 in The Associated Press poll after ending 2024 with a one-point loss to Utah State.
