Dalton drills big 3-pointer (0:18)

Interesting result in the Mountain West: Wyoming beats San Diego State by 13. Hayden Dalton had 36 and 15 for Wyoming. Wonder if any team in the MWC is consistent enough to push Nevada all season.
ESPN Stats and Information
66 days until college football kickoff: Wyoming scored 66 points in a loss at UNLV on November 12. That's just shy of the FBS record for most points in a loss held by Nevada, who scored 67 points in a four-overtime loss to Boise State in 2007.
Bubble Watch: Nevada lone representative for the MWC?
Nevada is the favorite to win the MWC, and is in good position for an at-large bid if it doesn't get an automatic berth. After that, it's hard to see anyone else in the conference sneaking into the NCAA tournament.
Power outage delays Troy-Wyoming game
Troy's Jeremy Hollimon was shooting the lights out on a 7-0 run and the Trojans had tied Wyoming at 13 when the lights went out in the Arena-Auditorium, prompting a game delay.
