The WVU basketball team finds itself in the top 10 heading into the 2017-campaign. The Mountaineers are No. 9 according to the publication.
Blue Ribbon also has fellow Big 12 school Kansas in the rankings. The Jayhawks come a few spots above West Virginia at No. 4, but no other Big 12 team is in the rankings.
It’s a good and rightful spot for the Mountaineers. Bob Huggins has developed his teams to be disciplined with a defense-first mentality. That’s how the WVU basketball team has been winning a bulk of the games in recent years.
