West Virginia got absolutely robbed. There’s no other way to put it. The Mountaineers had six Quad 1 wins, that is more than 13 at large teams and they still got left out of the NCAA Tournament. Meanwhile, North Carolina, a team with just one Quad 1 win in 13 tries, somehow got in. How does that make sense?
If six Quad 1 wins in the Big 12 aren’t enough, then what’s the point of playing tougher games? It’s not fair to the players, the coaches, and the fans.
