Season in review: WVU Men’s Basketball
March 14, 2026
Unlike its female counterpart, the WVU Men's Basketball season has likely come to a close following a second round loss in the Big 12 Tournament to BYU on March 11. While there are still opportunities to be invited to postseason tournaments like the College Basketball Crown or the National Invitation Tournament, neither are exactly picture perfect for WVU's long term future....
WVU dropped its Big 12 opener on the road at Baylor, 7-6. The Mountaineers hit two home runs and scored six runs, but still came up one run short on the road. Baylor had more runners on base and more opportunities to score, which was the difference. They went 6-18 with runners in scoring position, while WVU went 3-8. The Mountaineers aim to bounce back in the final two games of the series as they seek their first conference win of the season.
WVU Women's Basketball (27-6, 14-4) secured an automatic berth into the "big dance" by winning its first Big 12 tournament title since 2017. Whatever seed the Mountaineers pull is yet to be determined, but this year will mark the 17th NCAA Tournament appearance for the program. It's time to take a look at how the ladies have fared in the past.
