WVU Men's Basketball Team Picked to Finish 11th in Big 12
The WVU men's basketball team was picked 11th overall in the Big 12 preseason poll, according to a vote by the league's coaches.
The team's new coach, Ross Hodge, is expected to lead the team to a middle-of-the-pack finish. Hodge was hired away from North Texas and replaces Darian DeVries, who coached WVU during the 2024-25 season.
Notably, Houston was the overwhelming favorite, having swept the Big 12 regular season and tournament titles last season and advancing to the national championship game.
The Mountaineers were picked 13th in the 2024 preseason poll, making this season's selection a slight step up.
