WVU Basketball Fails to Receive Any Votes in AP Top 25 Poll

After receiving just three votes last week, WVU basketball has completely fallen out of the AP Top 25 Poll, receiving zero votes this week.
West Virginia (14-7, 5-5 Big 12) was ranked just two weeks ago, but a three-game losing streak has taken the Mountaineers completely out of consideration for the time being.
WVU began the week by losing its third straight game, 63-49 at home against Houston Wednesday. The Mountaineers went on the road and broke their losing skid with a 63-50 win at Cincinnati on Sunday.
Big 12 teams in the Top 25 are No. 5 Houston, No. 8 Iowa State, No. 13 Texas Tech, No. 16 Kansas and No. 20 Arizona. Baylor received three votes.
Despite falling out of the AP Top 25 Poll, the Mountaineers recovered a bit in the computer rankings. After dropping for several days in a row, West Virginia rose to No. 43 in the latest KenPom rankings. The Mountaineers had fallen to No. 48 following the loss to Houston.
The Mountaineers travel to TCU in their next game Wednesday at 8 p.m. The Horned Frogs (11-10, 4-6) are No. 82 in KenPom. WVU then hosts Utah in the Coliseum Saturday at 5 p.m. The Utes (12-9, 4-6) are ranked No. 89 in KenPom.
