April 19,2007–UNLV opens postseason play and will be attempting to win its fourth-straight title as the Mountain West Conference Championships began April 19 in St. George, Utah. The Rebels have won the last three league titles and are attempting to become the second team in MWC history to win four league crowns in a row. New Mexico accomplished the feat from 2000-03 before the Lobos were knocked off the top spot by the Rebels in 2004. UNLV and New Mexico are the only two teams in the history of the MWC to win the league championship. UNLV is off to a rough start and stood in 5th place after the first round.
