West Virginia Still Getting Respect in Latest CBS Sports Bracketology Projection

Some outlets have West Virginia as a team that’s not necessarily on the bubble but close to it. Not CBS Sports. Jerry Palm is a big believer in what Darian DeVries and the Mountaineers have done this season despite their most recent loss to Arizona State.

In his latest NCAA Tournament projection, Palm has the Mountaineers as a No. 6 seed in the West Region.
