blow chunks.  The MWC does not have a team as good as Gonzaga, but most years have 4 or 5 teams that could compete with St. Marys and BYU, and another 4 or 5 that are average.  The WCC has the big 3 and then 2 or 3 average and the rest crap.  The WCC generally ranks higher due to Gonzaga, but the number of quality games are a lot higher in the Mountain West.  That doesn't mean the Mountain West is a good conference, it just means that if you are a season ticket holder, you look forward to more games in the MW, then you do in the WCC.
