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.

West Virginia commit announces decision by blasting ‘Country Roads,’ lighting a couch on fire
A big moment in any student-athlete’s career is announcing what school they’re committing to, and I don’t think you’re going to find an announcement better than one we’ve got coming from one of the newest West Virginia Mountaineers.
What’s that smell? It… it smells like a couch burning to the sounds of the Mountaineers’ beloved John Denver “Take Me Home, Country Roads.”
You bet your sweet a– that’s what it is.

Ethan Lawson is a 6’6″, 300-lb offensive lineman and part of the 2027 recruiting class.

According to Sport Illustrated he has fielded offers from a bunch of programs including Appalachian State, Liberty, Air Force, Army, Navy, Duke, Wake Forest, UConn and more.
But, they all missed out because Lawson posted his decision on X, and well… I think he was always West Virginia material.
Bobcat Goldthwait was burning couches on camera before it was cool.
But, alright, there’s no doubt about it: someone is about to sell some jerseys.

And if there’s not a furniture store in Morgantown that brings in Lawson and fellow offensive line recruit Kevin Brown (who also lit a couch on fire because that’s becoming a thing) for an ad, then… then, well, I don’t know what, but it would be quite the missed opportunity.

Hey, like it or not, sometimes in the age of NIL it can be a popularity contest. If fans like you, it could mean greater visibility and more lucrative deals. Perhaps that was the mission here, and we all know it worked.

I refuse to believe any Mountaineers fans saw that video, heard the song and then didn’t reflexively raise a beer (even if they didn’t realize they were drinking one and say, “Hell yeah, brother.”)
We’ll see if the sort of thing translates onto the field, but even if it doesn’t, I feel like there’s money to be made making appearances and lighting furniture on fire at frat parties.
