WVSPORTS.COM Resume complete, now all West Virginia can do is wait

WVU listed by every bracketology forum as being in anywhere from a 9 to 11 seed.

Some are below

Clutch points - listed as a 9 seed playing 8 seed Gonzaga (this was 2 days before loss)
On3 - listed as 10 seed playing 7 seed Memphis
Sporting News - listed as 10 seed vs 7 seed Ole Miss
Andy Katz of NCAA - has WVU listed as a 10 Seed
USA Today has WVU as 10 Seed playing Ole Miss
Bracketology Blog - WVU as 9 seed playing 8 Seed Connecticut.
 
I've not looked, but if one of these major conferences has an upset champion, that could impact us more with an at-large going to that conference that normally wouldn't have.
 
Not likely. There are just not enough teams impact the situation. WVU ranked 50th in top 68 teams and has a better resume than many of those ranked ahead of them. Beat #8 Gonzaga, #9 Iowa State, #11 Arizona, #20 Kansas.

32 automatic qualifiers
