West Virginia fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the Mountaineers have secured a spot in the NCAA tournament, regardless of their performance in the upcoming conference tournament. With a solid resume and a weak bubble, West Virginia’s tournament outlook is looking bright. Most projections have them as a nine or ten seed, but a deep run in the conference tournament could improve their seeding. In the latest bracketology projection by CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm, West Virginia is slated as a No. 10 seed facing No. 7 Illinois in the West Region.
West Virginia celebrated their successful season with a win against UCF, and now they are looking ahead to the Big 12 Conference tournament in Kansas City. With a first-round bye, they will face the winner of TCU and Colorado for a chance to advance to the quarterfinals against No. 1 Houston. Fans are excited for what the future holds for the Mountaineers as they continue their journey towards March Madness.
