Projection: first four out

West Virginia’s résumé shows a mix of solid wins and disappointing losses, which complicates their tournament hopes. The victory over Gonzaga is a significant highlight, indicating their potential against top-tier teams. However, losses to Arizona and Houston are telling, as they reveal struggles against high-ranking opponents. Additionally, inconsistencies in offensive performance, evidenced by their scoring against teams like BYU and Texas Tech, raise concerns about their overall strength. To bolster their standing, they need to secure wins in critical upcoming matchups—especially against ranked opponents—while minimizing slip-ups against lower-tier teams.
