“West Virginia should be in the NCAA Championship,” Morrisey said. “It’s a miscarriage of justice, a robbery at the highest level.”
Morrisey also announced that he had asked West Virginia Attorney General John McCuskey to open an investigation into the NCAA selection committee to see if a “backdoor deal” was reached.
The Climbers are a team in the Fringe Championship, overall 19-13, while ending the match 10-10 in the 12 Conference matches.
Many believe that when the Big 12 Championship starts, West Virginia will play because they have teams to win the championship. However, The amazing loss in ColoradoHaving his last place in the meeting in the regular season, he changed all of that.
Whether the selection committee did not disclose that this was a decisive factor left over by climbers, but when this happened, the term “Snub” was quickly abandoned.
The result of the brackets led to a statement on the matter by head coach Darian Devries and athletic director Wren Baker. DeFries said he “shocked” his team had no chance to compete for the national championship.
“Obviously, we are very shocked, sad and disappointed at not participating in the NCAA Championships,” the statement reads. “We firmly believe that we have a resume worthy of an NCAA Championship team. I am very proud of this team and its achievements. They put their hearts into the season and put all their collective efforts into the NCAA Championships, and I believe they did it.”

“I can’t understand that this team is being left out. Our resume is better than several teams in the field, and it’s a horrible ridicule and we don’t include it,” Baker added.
One of the main statistical backgrounds for a team is the quadrant 1 victory, which the selection committee identified as a match against a team that ranked top 30 in the home (the NCAA’s assessment tool) and 1-50 on neutral courts and 1-75 on away games.
West Virginia won six wins in four rounds, while a North Carolina team had problems playing games, winning the game 1-12 in those games. The Climbers also won four ranking teams this season, including the 2nd Iowa State, third place, Gonzaga (on the neutral court) and Kansas No. 7.
They beat the top ten AP teams in three wins in the Big 12 of the season.
