Here are where things stand today.

NCAA Tournament Resume

Metric	Results	Analysis

Overall Record	14-2	West Virginia is off to a strong start to the season after going through the non-conference almost flawlessly. As of today, it's clear that Huggins has indeed fixed things.
Big 12 Record	3-1	The Big 12 season is just getting underway but West Virginia has won three consecutive games.
Strength of Schedule	9	This is never a question when Huggins is leading the program as West Virginia always plays a challenging non-conference slate and is now into conference play.
NET Rankings	8	This is perhaps the most important metric on here outside of the wins themselves as it is used for seeding in the NCAA Tournament. Right now, West Virginia is in a great spot.
Quadrant 1 and 2 Wins	at Ohio State (No. 17 NET) Wichita State (No. 19 NET) Northern Iowa (No. 39 NET) Rhode Island (No. 63 NET) at Oklahoma State (No. 77 NET) Akron (No. 38 NET) at Pittsburgh (No. 81 NET) Texas Tech (No. 33 NET) TCU (No. 62 NET)	It's early in the season but West Virginia is already putting together a strong resume with some early wins.
Bad Losses	None	West Virginia has yet to record what could be considered as a bad loss on the season as both are of the quadrant one variety.

As of today West Virginia is a virtual lock for the NCAA Tournament. But where are the Mountaineers currently projected to end up?
