Bracketology Update: How Far Did West Virginia Fall After Loss to Arizona State?
When you don’t bring it, you’re probably going to lose in the Big 12 Conference, regardless of who you’re playing. From top to bottom, it’s one of the most competitive leagues in the entire country and anyone can beat you on any given night.
West Virginia experienced that earlier this week when they came out flat against Arizona State, just a few days after knocking off No. 2 Iowa State in the same building. It was the team’s fourth game in ten days, and you could see right out of the shoot that they lacked that extra bounce in their step. The Mountaineers cut it to five late in the game, thanks to finding some success with the fullcourt press, but it was too little too late.
With the loss, ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi has dropped West Virginia from a No. 6 seed to a No. 8 seed.
1. Alabama vs. 16. Southern
8. West Virginia vs. 9. Gonzaga
5. Memphis vs. 12. Lipscomb
4. Michigan vs. 13. Akron
6. St. John’s vs. 11. Texas/UCF
3. Michigan State vs. 14. South Alabama
7. Missouri vs. 10. North Carolina
2. Kansas vs. 15. Quinnipiac
The Mountaineers will be back in action tomorrow evening as they take on the Kansas State Wildcats (7-11, 1-6). For WVU to remain in the Big 12 title race and keep their resume in good shape, they can’t afford to leave Manhattan with a loss.

A skydiver crashed into the Lane Stadium scoreboard before Virginia Tech’s spring football game Saturday.
Virginia Tech officials said on X that the skydiver “was safely secured and is currently stable” following rescue efforts. The incident caused a delay in the start of the spring game.
“Thankful for game days with Hokie Nation and for the Blacksburg and Virginia Tech first responders whose quick actions safely returned today’s parachuter to the ground without injury,” the university said.
The name of the skydiver wasn’t released.
“Our primary focus remains on their well-being,” Virginia Tech officials said in a statement. “We extend our sincere appreciation to the first responders, event staff, and medical personnel for their swift, coordinated and professional response.”
Video footage showed the skydiver’s parachute landing between the “C” and the “H” on the Virginia Tech lettering on top of the scoreboard before first responders rescued him.
CBS News has reached out to the Blacksburg Fire Department for details on the incident.
A much cleaner performance carried Clemson baseball on Friday, as it answered the previous night’s loss with a 5-1 win over No. 9 Virginia.
Michael Sharman set the tone from the start. He kept Virginia off balance all night, working eight innings while giving up just a single run. There weren’t many free passes, and he consistently pitched ahead, which allowed him to stay in control deep into the game. Hayden Simmerson wrapped things up in the ninth without any trouble.
At the plate, Nate Savoie was the difference. He delivered two home runs, including a go-ahead shot later in the game that put Clemson in front for good. His first long ball gave the Tigers an early edge, and he finished with three RBIs on the night.
Virginia managed to pull even midway through, but Clemson quickly responded. The offense strung together quality at-bats, with Bryce Clavon driving in a run and Luke Gaffney continuing his strong weekend with multiple hits. The Tigers created more separation late, adding another run after working a bases-loaded situation.
Clemson moves to 25-15 overall and 6-11 in conference play with the win. The series now comes down to Saturday’s matchup in Charlottesville.
