Interesting to look at the support of basketball in the MWC vs the WCC
Right now the MWC has 8 teams that average at least 4500 fans per game. The WCC has 2....us and Gonzaga.
The MWC has 2 teams (SJSU and AF) who average less than 3000 fans per game. The WCC has 7 teams that average less than 3000 fans per game (Pepperdine, San Diego, Santa Clara, San Fran, Pacific, Loyola, Portland)
The MWC has 6 teams that average over 6500 fans per game.....the WCC has 1, us.

Attendance Ranking By Team Conf Vs Conf
1. SDSU 12195 BYU 14476
2. UNM 11768 Gonzaga 6000
3. Nevada 8922 SMC 3092
4. USU 8874 Portland 2625
5. UNLV 6872 Loyola 2202
6. Fresno 6586 Pacific 2143
7. Boise 5396 San Fran 1901
8. Wyoming 4570 Santa Clara 1738
9. CSU 3926 San Diego 1619
10. SJSU 1863 Pepperdine 1368
11. Air Force 1744

MWC teams have much better fan support, and personally as a fan, I'd rather watch us play at UNLV in front of 6872 people than Loyola with 2202, and from an interest standpoint playing in Wyoming with 4570 fans vs Santa Clara with 1738 that would be more interesting. Certainly the WCC has better destinations though in terms of locations. But from a sheer interest standpoint I'd rather play a lineup of MWC schools than the current WCC lineup.

SMC and Gonzaga excepted, the WCC is just really, really boring to me.
