The West Virginia Mountaineers men’s basketball team (19-13) did not receive an invitation to the 2025 NCAA Tournament. Their exclusion was notably influenced by a loss to last-place Colorado in the Big 12 tournament, which significantly impacted their tournament hopes.
Despite early-season victories against teams like Gonzaga and Arizona, the Mountaineers’ performance declined in the latter half of the season, going 6-9 and failing to secure wins against NCAA tournament-caliber teams.
This outcome was a significant disappointment for the team and its supporters, as they had hoped for a tournament berth following a challenging season.
