The seventh installment of the MWC/MVC Challenge is set to start on Tuesday
The seventh Mountain West-Missouri Valley Challenge begins Tuesday night with Utah State, Colorado State and Boise State all in action.
The Mountain West leads the MWC/MVC Challenge 33-22 as its strongest performers over the years have been New Mexico (5-1), Boise State (3-1), San Diego State (4-2), UNLV (4-2) and Wyoming (4-2).
The Missouri Valley lost its best program over the offseason, Wichita State, which is responsible for five of the MVC’s 22 wins in the event. The Shockers, now a part of the American Athletic Conference, have been replaced by the Valparaiso Crusaders, formerly of the Horizon League.
Fresno State is the only Mountain West member that will not be participating in this year’s event. San Jose State is making its first appearance in the Challenge this season.
