West Virginia University, according to the NCAA Selection Committee, was the last team out, finishing 69th, in the field of 68 teams. The failure to make the field has stunned many in college basketball circles.
This evening, WVU Coach Darian DeVries released a statement on the exclusion.
“Obviously, we are extremely shocked, saddened and disappointed with not being selected for the NCAA Tournament. We strongly believe that we have a resume that is worthy of an NCAA Tournament team. I am incredibly proud of this team and what they accomplished. They poured their hearts into this season and put all their collective efforts into making the NCAA Tournament, and I believe they did that.”
