I forget if UC Davis is officially in the Big West this year (I don't think so), so that means all 8 teams in the Big West participate. Who wants to play UC Riverside????

Glad SHSU and Northwestern St were selected...

I thought the whole SLC was selected based off of what we heard last year, but atleast we have two schools who can hopefully make some noise...

Pretty sure we had 4 last year. Big Sky is actually one of the top ten mid-major conferences - and don't forget the Griz performance last year in the NCAA's!!
