Nevada is expected to make the NCAA Tournament as an at-large team after winning 10 of its final 11 games. 

Nevada’s at-large viability is largely due to the growing strength of the Mountain West, which is increasingly viewed as a deep and powerful conference in college basketball. 

Currently, five different Mountain West teams are projected to make the men’s NCAA Tournament this year. 

Here are some of the basic ratings for Nevada, as of March 12:
