RENO —The Mountain West announced its 2019-20 conference men’s basketball schedule Thursday. Nevada has won the last three MW regular season titles and will seek a fourth under first-year head coach Steve Alford. Some game dates could shift to accommodate national television broadcasts. Game times will be announced at a later date along with the nonconference portion of the schedule.
In the last three seasons the Wolf Pack has posted a 44-10 record in Mountain West play. Nevada’s first MW regular season title came in 2017 when the Pack posted a 14-4 conference mark and followed that with back-to-back seasons of 15-3 to capture two more titles. Nevada became just the second school along with BYU to win back-to-back outright MW regular season titles in 2017 and 2018.
