As with every Selection Sunday, some schools miss out on the NCAA Tournament. This year, West Virginia is notably one of them. CBS Sports’ Matt Norlander remarked on its shocking omission, emphasizing that it prioritizes team qualifications over individual player statuses. Notably, DeVries’ recent shoulder injury raised concerns, yet the Mountaineers achieved a victory record beyond many participating teams.

In Norlander’s statement: “It’s an insane reason to keep a team out of a tournament.” He elaborated further on their performance compared to other institutions throughout the tournament season.

Let’s be honest, @WVUhoops not being in the field doesn’t make sense. Not when the reasoning appears to be Q2 wins..
