Two Mountain West favorites losing in the first round is evidence that the Mountain West was overrated this year, possibly because of the UNLV win over over North Carolina, where UNLV played like a confident team that could beat anyone. During the last third of the season after overtime wins over celler teams and blowouts by good teams on the road, UNLV looked like they had lost that confidence. Something happened to the chemistry of the team during this time. When this happens, it's time for the coaches to start shaking things up with lineup changes and player assignments. This wasn't done and it went downhill from there. Colorado had the opposite experience. Midway through the season changes were made and the team got better for tournament time.
