16. West Virginia Mountaineers

Previously Ranked: 19

Record: 6-1

The Mountaineers have stormed back from their loss to Temple. First, they cold-cocked Manhattan by 47 points before scoring a huge upset in Charlottesville over Virginia. This team is back and focused on claiming the Big 12 crown for themselves.

Forwards Nathan Adrian and Esa Ahmed are the Mountaineers’ double digit scorers, but depth is West Virginia’s best asset. 13 players have played in at least five games and averaged no fewer than 9.5 minutes in those games. The constant waves of bodies are what makes Press Virginia so threatening, and this year looks to be no different.
