Heading straight into the second week of the NCAA tournament, with all but maybe thirty teams still active in postseason play around the country. The offseason & “Portal Season” has officially arrived for around three hundred programs nationally. The Transfer Portal officially opened on March 18th and the Mountain West has managed to stay out of the spotlight with several teams still playing in postseason tournaments well into this past weekend.
But San Diego State is the only team to make the Sweet 16 & UNLV is still playing in the NIT, so player movement is picking up in the conference. With several big names already in the portal as of this week.
