COMMENTARY
Overrated.
Just an hour or so after receiving an official pat on the back from the NCAA, West Virginia left no doubt that label is applicable to the Mountaineers in yet another dismal performance on the road.
The tournament selection committee showed a sneak peak of the brackets on Saturday afternoon, releasing the Top 16 seeds in this year’s field had the season ended this week. Fortunately for West Virginia, it doesn’t — because their postseason would be ending in short order.
The Mountaineers were tabbed a No. 2 seed in the West Region in that exercise, and promptly performed like a team capable of being on the wrong end of the next Iowa State-Hampton 15-over-2 highlight reel that gets replayed each March.
