The West Virginia University (WVU) Mountaineers men’s basketball team is a member of the Big 12 Conference. In the 2023–24 season, the team faced challenges, finishing with a 9–23 overall record and a 4–14 mark in Big 12 play, leading to a coaching change. Interim head coach Josh Eilert was promoted following Bob Huggins’ resignation in June 2023.
Despite the team’s struggles, there were notable moments, including a significant victory over No. 3 Gonzaga in overtime at the Battle 4 Atlantis tournament in November 2024. Additionally, in December 2024, WVU achieved its first-ever win at Kansas’ Allen Fieldhouse, narrowly defeating the Jayhawks 62-61.
Looking ahead, the Mountaineers are gearing up for the 2025–26 season. The Big 12 Conference has announced the schedule for the upcoming season, with WVU set to compete against both traditional rivals and new opponents. Fans can anticipate exciting matchups as the team aims to improve upon last season’s performance.
