West Virginia Governor Patrick Morrisey announced an investigation into the NCAA after the exclusion of West Virginia University (WVU) from the men's basketball tournament. Despite a 19-13 record and better metrics compared to the University of North Carolina, WVU was not selected. Morrisey highlighted WVU's six Quad 1 wins, undefeated record against lower-tier opponents, and significant victories over top-10 teams. He criticized the committee's bias, pointing to the influence of UNC's athletic director, who leads the selection committee, suggesting a mismatch between team qualifications and selection outcomes.
West Virginia had six Quad 1 wins, an undefeated record against Quad 3 and Quad 4 opponents, and three wins against top-10 teams.
This decision was a miscarriage of justice and robbery at the highest level, according to Governor Morrisey's assessment of the selection committee's choices.
