The Aztecs are the most consistent team in the MWC, and this team could be poised for a deep NCAA tournament run. San Diego State is rounding into form at the most important point of the season.

Ron Baker had a huge game against Illinois State on Saturday, and that needs to become a habit as March approaches. Baker and Fred Van Vleet need to play at a high level if the team wants to defeat the other powerhouse in the MVC.

2. Northern Iowa Panthers (24-2)

The Bulldogs had a close game against Pepperdine on Saturday, but the team still found a way to win. Gonzaga has the most offensive options in the country. This team is not going down without a fight once the NCAA tournament rolls around.
