The West Virginia Mountaineers narrowly missed out on an at-large bid to the NCAA tournament. In the first year under head coach Darian DeVries, West Virginia finished 19-13 on the season with a 10-10 record in Big 12 play.

Seven teams made the 68-team field out of the Big 12, including 19-14 Baylor who was also 10-10 in conference play. The Bears were given a nine-seed and will play Mississippi State in the first round. West Virginia is debatably the most controversial team to miss out on the tournament.
