WAC Basketball Tournament

This is going to be a great tournament. I think the field is pretty wide open in terms of there's no clear cut winner and teams 1-6 I believe all have a shot to win it. Personally I believe New Mexico State is the best team and hope they can get into the tournament, because they have a high ceiling and likely can pull off an upset round one. What I like about the WAC is they have some transfers that just simply shouldn't be there. Teddy Allen from NMSU and Savion Flagg from Sam Houston are just too good for this league. When you have studs like this on your team you can make noise. High Major transfer guys who have just been tearing it up in conference play. Also a name not to forget is Darrion Trammell from Seattle. Shifty electric guard who can fill it up. I like NMSU to win this simply because their game one will be in the semifinals, but at +140 I don't necessarily love the price. SFA really turned it up at the end of the season, rattling off 10 wins in a row and getting 3 wins in what seemed like an absolute gauntlet of events proves they are ready for March. Longshots Sam Houstona and Abilene are interesting at +3600 and +1700. I'd say Sam Houston is a bit more attractive, because I do think they have a better shot of getting to the semifinals than ACU. SFA at +650 is my dark horse and Seattle at +440 is my bust. If I had to add another bust I think Grand Canyon's price stinks at +310. I'd love to see NMSU win and I think Jans and the Aggies do just that.
