The West Virginia University men’s basketball team climbed two spots in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 poll, with the Mountaineers checking in at No. 14. WVU is coming off a week in which it claimed two blowout wins — both at home — against Texas and Missouri.
WVU currently sits at No. 7 in the NCAA NET rankings, which can be found here.
