The West Virginia Mountaineers women’s basketball team has been left out of the NCAA tournament, despite winning 20 games this season, including 11 in Big 12 conference play. Head coach Mike Carey took to Twitter to voice his displeasure.
Carey has repeatedly argued for his teams’ inclusion into the Tournament using the “11 wins in the 3rd best conference” line and he’s right, the Mountaineers finished 11-7 in the Big 12. Carey has a bit of argument to pick with the committee given that the Mountaineers weren’t even listed as one of the final eight teams “debatable eight” even though teams like Arkansas were included, who went 6-10 in SEC play and 2-10 against Quadrant 1 teams.
