What kind of impact will this have on the national ranking of the Mountaineers? A negative impact. In order to stay in the national rankings or perhaps move up, it’s a good chance the Mountaineers will need to win the Advocare Invitational.
Next up the Mountaineers take on Central Florida on Friday night. Marist moves on to face Nebraska in a consolation game.
