West Virginia's resume showcases a blend of impressive wins and challenging losses, positioning them solidly for a mid-level seed. Notably, their victories over quality teams like Gonzaga and Arizona highlight their capability to compete against top-tier talent. The narrow win against Kansas adds to their credibility, showing resilience on the road. However, losses to teams like Pittsburgh and Arizona expose vulnerabilities, especially against well-ranked opponents. The upcoming slate includes pivotal matchups against teams like Houston and Kansas State, where wins would significantly bolster their standing, while any missteps could jeopardize their position. These elements together shape the perception of their tournament readiness.
