I believe the Big West had a sweet 16 team in NMSU in 1992. I think they lost to UCLA in the PITin Albbuquerque, if I recall correctly.
Now I haven't been to all of the Big West campuses to evaluate their talent (code: for hot women), however, based on my observations of their cheer and dance squad I'd be hard pressed to find better women than the ones at USU. Just amazing! But I digress. :)
