Defending regular-season MWC champion BYU and inaugural league tournament winner Colorado State both received 53 points and four first-place votes to tie for first. Utah, which joined the Cougars and Rams in making the NCAA tournament field a year ago, was third with 41 points.

New Mexico (26 points), Wyoming (18) and Air Force (17) rounded out the poll.

UNLV is coming off a 12-14 season that included a 4-10 conference mark, which placed in a tie for sixth.
