For the third time in four years, the Mountain West Conference regular season title is shared. Utah and BYU tied for the regular season title with identical 11-3 conference records, but the Runnin' Utes swept the regular season series against the Cougars to claim the top seed in the MWC tournament. Utah has won at least a share of the MWC regular season title three of the league's four years four years, while BYU registers its second crown since the conference's inception in 1999.
Wyoming and UNLV tied for third with identical 8-6 marks, but the Cowboys will be the No. 3-seed after sweeping the Runnin' Rebels this season. San Diego State claims the fifth seed with a 6-8 league record followed by No. 6 Colorado State, No. 7 New Mexico and No. 8 Air Force. Each of the four quarterfinals games will feature match-ups where the higher seed swept the lower seed during regular season play.
