Is the MWC a basketball league?

I don't really consider it either.
I think there are certainly more schools, it could be argued, that have been more successful in bball than they have been in football (Utah, New Mexico, SDSU, UNLV, even Air Force, Wyoming). So there's a good argument that the MWC is a bball conference. |

Univ. of Houston might be considered a bball school.
there are lot of schools that have both, but the bball team has traditionally doneo better and gotten more support. Like NC State and NC. |

The MWC is more of a basketball league than it is a football league.

The MWC is more a basketball league because basketball is not exclusionary like football is.
Of course, I don't consider it much of a basketball league, because outside of Utah no other teams really do anything in the post season.

Just for interests sake, which team had the most recent NCAA basketball championship? Did any team progress beyond the first round last year?

UNLV is most definitely a basketball school. You could argue SDSU is as well, but only by default. CSU is football first but only because of Sonny Lubick, and that's fading very fast. Wyoming is probably more basketball than football. Utah is basketball. I guess it depends on how you want to define "basketball school" and your definition is pretty narrow, but UNLV certainly fits it.

I don't remember if there was any MWC team that got past the first round last year. I didn't pay much attention to the tournament.

Well let's look at it school by school:
BYU -- Football school Utah -- Basketball school San Diego State -- Basketball school I guess... UNLV -- Defintely Basketball school New Mexico -- Basketball school Colorado State -- Football School Air Force -- Football School Wyoming -- I'd guess Basketball, but am not sure TCU -- Football school
