The West Virginia University men’s basketball team dropped one spot to No. 13 in this week’s AP Top 25 poll coming off a loss at Texas Tech and a win at home against Kansas State last week.
The Mountaineers (17-4, 5-3 Big 12) are currently No. 9 in the NCAA NET rankings and checked in at No. 11 in this week’s coaches poll.
