San Jose State is No. 1, No. 2 in the Conference tournament and has a bye to the semifinals. The Spartans finished the season 14-6 overall and 12-6 against Mountain West opponents. Six of their wins were forfeited when the team decided not to play San Jose State.

Two of those teams could end up playing San Jose State in this tournament. Utah State faces Boise State in the quarterfinals. The winner will face San Jose State. But it might end up losing the competition. Neither team has played San Jose State this season. It is likely that Fleming will be included in the team.
It’s unclear if any schools will cancel their conference tournament pairings.
