Bracket Projection: West Virginia

After a couple of down years in Morgantown, Bob Huggins has recreated the West Virginia Mountaineers into possibly the most unique program in any of the major conferences. Finesse be damned. West Virginia wins strictly on collecting its own missed shots and forcing the other team into mistakes. For a second straight year, it worked brilliantly to the tune of nine BPI top-50 wins and a second-place finish in the rugged Big 12. In 2015, West Virginia's attack mode was good enough to reach the Sweet 16. Is this year's version good enough to do even better?

ESPN Insider has your answers, as Joe Lunardi has enlisted a team of Bracketologists to compile advanced metrics, key scouting intel and best- and worst-case tournament scenarios for all 68 teams to help you make smart picks in your bracket.
