Up-To-the-Minute WAC Commissioner's Cup Standings

In this case, literally.  The last regular season matches have just been completed and, as shown in the other post, points awarded for the regular season in both men's and women's tennis.  I don't believe the WAC site posts the points on their page until the tournament is over, but you now know what the standings are without having to wait!


1.  Boise State 74.25
2.  Utah State 61.60
3.  Fresno State 54.00
4.  New Mexico State 53.50
5.  Idaho 48.25
6.  Nevada 46.50
7.  Hawai'i 41.00
8.  San Jose State 38.00
9.  Louisiana Tech 34.00


As mentioned in my Cup projections post last week, I am now forecasting Fresno State to finish with about 89 points.  That is going to be about the limit for them because they are projected to be near the top in most of the remaining sports (they can't get much higher).  As soon as Boise State tops that estimated total (and I will continue to revise projections as is necessary and will be able to provide a concrete number very soon), they will clinch the Cup.  At this time, I don't see any other league school challenging for the title.

Boise State Tennis Team Loses to Arizona

The Broncos fell again to Arizona 4-2 this morning.  Their play in Las Cruces appears to have knocked them out of the NCAA Tournament unless they are able to win the WAC.


The men's WAC tourney gets underway Friday in Boise.
