West Virginia's resume shows a mixed bag of performances that places them solidly in the tournament conversation, albeit with some room for concern. Their impressive victories against ranked opponents like Gonzaga and Arizona showcase their capability to compete at a high level, which is appealing. However, the loss to Pittsburgh raises red flags, particularly in the defensive metrics, as it highlights struggles against top-tier competition. As they head into the second half of the season, opportunities to bolster their standing exist against teams like Kansas and Arizona, both crucial for showcasing their growth. Conversely, dropping games against lower-ranked teams could significantly harm their trajectory, making these upcoming matchups critical.
