LAS VEGAS, Nev. -- The 2009 Conoco Mountain West Conference Basketball Tournament in Las Vegas is always an intriguing proposition for Colorado State fans.
The city has been the host for two of the most exciting Rams basketball moments in recent memory: the 2003 run to the NCAA tournament by the men’s team and the women’s squad scoring the biggest upset in Mountain West Conference history against Utah last season.
