• Despite having three starters out for the season with injuries and still searching for its first MW win, New Mexico's women's basketball team continues to draw impressive crowds to The Pit. The Lobos ranked No. 10 in the nation in women's basketball home attendance with an average of 6,756.
• Air Force has used 12 different starting lineups this season with 11 different players earning at least one start. Sophomore forward Megan O'Neil registered a career-high four blocks against UNLV on Jan. 28 and ranks fifth on the Academy's Division I single-season blocks list with 45.
• Colorado State senior guard/forward Kim Mestdagh, the MW preseason Player of the Year, has scored 20 or more points in three of the team's last four games. Mestdagh, who currently has 1,545 career points, is 52 points removed from moving into fourth place on the school's career scoring list. She recently became the seventh player in CSU history with 500 or more field goals.
• One of the big keys to UNLV's success thus far has been rebounding. The Lady Rebels, who rank second in the league in rebounding margin (+6.4), boast four of the top 11 rebounders in the MW. Senior forward Jamie Smith's average of 8.4 rebounds per game ranks third in the Mountain West, while senior forward/centers Lenita Sanford (7.5) and Sandrine Nzeukou (6.6) rank fourth and seventh, respectively. Senior center Markiell Styles ranks 11th with an average of 6.2 rebounds per contest.
• Newcomer Boise State leads the Mountain West in free-throw shooting at 74.1 percent on the season, but is shooting 78.8 percent from the line in league games. The Broncos never led that statistical category in 10 seasons as Wyoming, which has made at least one three-point shot in every game this season, has now done so in 86 consecutive contests. The streak dates back to the 2008-09 season against Colorado State (3/10/09).
• In three of its first six league games, TCU has limited opponents to a field-goal percentage of 40 percent or less. The Frogs have forced a combined 61 turnovers in their last three games while holding Boise State, Air Force and New Mexico to a combined shooting percentage of 28.9 percent (11-of-38) from three-point range.
