The West Virginia University men’s basketball team dropped three spots to No. 17 in this week’s Associated Press Top 25 coming off losses to No. 3 Kansas and No. 1 Baylor last week.

The Mountaineers (18-7, 6-6 Big 12) are at No. 10 in the current NCAA NET rankings and No. 7 according to KenPom.com.

WVU hosts Oklahoma State on Tuesday this week before a Saturday trip to play at TCU.
