Projection: first four out

West Virginia’s resume presents a mixed bag that leans more toward the weaker side of the bubble. The notable victory against Gonzaga shows they can compete against elite programs, but losses to teams like Houston and Arizona, along with a couple of conference defeats to Baylor and Texas Tech, raise concerns about their consistency. The defense ranks impressively in certain metrics, but there's a significant disparity in offensive performance—particularly evident in their matchups against ranked opponents, where they struggled to put points on the board. Upcoming games against solid teams like TCU and BYU will be crucial for their hopes; victories could boost their standing, while more losses could seal their fate outside the tournament.
