Five sports are complete in the Western Athletic Conference Commissioner's Cup race for this year: men's and women's cross country, soccer, volleyball and football.
With the winter sports winding down, it's a good time to take a look at the race and see where the schools are at compared to last year. The Cup recognizes the school with the best overall sports department each year. Boise State surged past Fresno State to win it last year.
After five sports, here are the standings and gain or loss from last year:
1. Boise State 31.75 (-.25)
2. Utah State 31.50 (+2.25)
3. Idaho 27.50 (+4.75)
4. Fresno State 24.75 (-3.25)
5. New Mexico State 23.25 (-4.00)
6. Hawai'i 21.50 (+2.50)
7. Nevada 19.00 (-8.00)
8. San Jose State 15.25 (+1.00)
9. Louisiana Tech 13.50 (+4.50)
Boise State is nearly exactly where they were a year ago when they won the Cup with 92.25 points, beating Fresno State by 8.50 points. The fact that Fresno is down from last year and Nevada is taking a beating bodes well for Boise State. It is still very early of course but if the Bronco basketball teams can get some wins down the stretch and the defending champion swimming and gymnastics teams can finish high, the outlook will still be good heading into the spring sports.
