Big 12 Commissioner Brett Yormark is the latest that has offered up a statement on West Virginia being snubbed for the NCAA Tournament.

The Mountaineers at 19-13 and 10-10 in the Big 12 Conference were the first team left out of the field despite being one of just 30 nationally with at least six quadrant one wins. West Virginia was included in all 111 brackets on BracketMatrix.com making them a consensus selection that wasn’t selected for the Tournament.

The statement was posted by ESPN’s Pete Thamel.

“I was surprised and disappointed to see West Virginia not receive a bid to the NCAA Tournament. In addition to their six Quad 1 wins, the Mountaineers won 10 conference games in one of the toughest leagues in the country. West Virginia deserved a spot, and fans across the country agree. Coach Devries and his team did an incredible job fighting adversity and winning big games all season. Regardless of this disappointing outcome, I’m incredibly proud of how they represented the Big 12 all season.”
