Anthony Drmic and Ryan Watkins Second Team All-Mountain West Conference

After the year Watkins has had (i.e. the first player in Mountain West history to score 200 points and get 200 rebounds, and the all-time single-season top rebounder), this slam should serve as motivation for the upcoming tournament.  Remember Ryan, the coaches you are going against voted against you.

Congrats to Anthony--you'll be first team next year!
