Where West Virginia is Projected to Land in Field of 64 Following Big 12 Tournament
For just a day, the West Virginia offense snapped out of its late-season funk, plating 10 runs in a quarterfinals win in the Big 12 Conference tournament over Cincinnati. 24 hours later, they struggled to get anything going and were crushed by Arizona in the semifinals.
After a historic start, the Mountaineers have slipped to 41-14 on the season, dropping seven of their last nine games, dating back to May 6th when they lost 10-9 to Pitt.
In Sunday morning’s NCAA Tournament projection by the folks over at D1Baseball.com, the Mountaineers are pegged to be the No. 2 seed in the Knoxville region hosted by Tennessee. In this projection, WVU would take on No. 3 Western Kentucky while the Vols would square off with No. 4 Miami (OH).
It’s hard to peg exactly what’s wrong with this slumping Mountaineer team, but if they don’t snap out of this funk, their run in the NCAA Tournament will be a brief one. Sloppy fielding, late inning bullpen struggles, and leaving runners on base have all contributed, but the sudden decline in each area is what remains a mystery.
The selection show is scheduled to take place on Monday, May 26th, at 12 p.m. ET on ESPN2. Regional play will begin on Friday and wrap up by Sunday.

PHILIPPI, W.Va (WDTV) – The West Virginia Mountain Bike Association kicked off its cross country series Sunday with the Race to Lil Moe’s in Philippi.
The event had options for all skill levels. Bikers had the choice to race 6 miles, 14 miles, or 19 miles.
Each race had a mix of straight track biking, and twisting and climbing through the woods. Bikers of all ages could participate, and each age group had its own race and results.
“I really do think that trails build community, and if you can get outdoor activity where people can come out and hike and bike,” said George Finly, a mountain biker and trail volunteer. “This is as much as a hiking trail as it is a biking trail. It’s right along the river, which is beautiful. Eagles were flying back and forth yesterday, and today is great because we’ve got a lot of kids out here.”
The next WVMBA cross country mountain bike race will be April 19 in Buckhannon.
