MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – It’s easy to find a sports team that claims “no one believes in us.” It’s harder to find one with the statistical evidence to back it up.
West Virginia can at least say “very few people believe in us” with a strong degree of accuracy. A poll on the official NCAA Baseball Twitter account finds that 62 percent of fans believe Texas A&M will win the Morgantown Regional. In D1Baseball.com’s bracket challenge, 75 percent of contestants have taken the Aggies.
So even though it’s the host, WVU is approaching this weekend’s regional with an underdog mentality.
