In our final offseason check-in/state of the program/look-ahead episode, we journey west to the land of mountains and coasts (translation: Mountain West and West Coast discussion). Is Gonzaga the top program in the country right now? How high can Colorado State and Nevada climb? How mean are the boys to Air Force (and which one kinda, sorta, sticks up for the Falcons)? We hit on all of these, plus more detailed discussions on the premier programs of each league.
