Projection: need to automatically qualify
In sizing up West Virginia's season, one thing jumps out: the team has encountered a series of hurdles that leave them precariously positioned. While they've snagged some eyebrow-raising wins, like toppling a high-caliber program like Kansas, as well as Texas, these are mere flashes in an otherwise overcast season. The losses have piled up in conference play, and setbacks to Monmouth NJ and Radford — teams well outside the conversation for tournament noise — don't do any favors. Despite the battle-tested nature of running through the gauntlet that is the Big 12, it's clear that this squad has yet to demonstrate they can deliver consistently under the season's brightest lights. The final entry into March Madness will likely hinge on an extraordinary run in the conference tournament, aiming to pocket that golden ticket that is the automatic bid.
