Projection: likely out
West Virginia's current resume leaves them on shaky ground for an NCAA tournament berth. While they secured wins against lesser opponents like Robert Morris and Iona, a significant loss to Pittsburgh—a top contender—raises concerns about their competitiveness. Their offensive struggles, highlighted by a poor showing against Gonzaga, suggest they might struggle against higher-tier teams in the Big 12. Upcoming games against tougher foes like Kansas and Houston will be crucial; victories there could bolster their case, while further losses could quickly diminish their chances.
