West Virginia's loss to No. 9 Texas Tech didn't hurt the NCAA Tournament resume, but it did add another loss, dropping the Mountaineers to 16-11 on the season. With just four games remaining in the regular season, things are getting intense as Selection Sunday creeps closer.

Even with their recent struggles, West Virginia seems to be in a pretty good position because of the quality wins they've picked up throughout the year in what has been a strong strength of schedule.

When you start looking around at the other teams on the bubble, you have to like WVU's chances, barring an epic collapse where they lose out or only win one more game.

Using ESPN bracketologist Joe Lunardi's NCAA Tournament bubble, we've listed each team's resume by pulling their NET ranking, records in each quad, and key wins/bad losses.
