==Men's basketball==
The Mountain West and [[Missouri Valley Conference]]s hold an [[Mountain West–Missouri Valley Challenge|annual challenge series]] that was renewed in the [[2015–16 NCAA Division I men's basketball season|2015–16 season]] after a two-year hiatus. The series began in the [[2009-10 NCAA Division I men's basketball season|2009–10 season]] but temporarily ended when the original contract ran out after the [[2012-13 NCAA Division I men's basketball season|2012–13 season]], During the first four seasons of the series, it involved all members of the MW and an equal number of the 10 MVC teams in basketball. With the MW now having 11 basketball members to the MVC's 10, the renewed series involves all MVC teams, with one MW team sitting out.

The first game was on November 13, 2009, featuring the [[Bradley Braves men's basketball|Bradley Braves]] and the [[2009–10 BYU Cougars men's basketball team|BYU Cougars]] in [[Marriott Center|Provo]] and it concluded on December 23 with the [[2009–10 Wyoming Cowboys basketball team|Wyoming Cowboys]] visiting the [[2009–10 Northern Iowa Panthers men's basketball team|Northern Iowa Panthers]] in [[McLeod Center|Cedar Falls, Iowa]]. The challenge is similar to the [[ACC-Big Ten Challenge]], which pits men's basketball teams from the [[Atlantic Coast Conference]] and the [[Big Ten Conference]].<ref>{{cite news | title = Missouri Valley, MWC to start basketball series | newspaper = Las Vegas Review-Journal | date = January 15, 2009 | url = http://www.lvrj.com/sports/37627364.html | access-date = January 16, 2009}}</ref>
