ESPN Bracketology Update - 3/5
Although it was not the prettiest of wins, No. 6 West Virginia moved to 18-7 (11-5) on Thursday night by defeating the TCU Horned Frogs, 76-67. Redshirt freshman Jalen Bridges was the story of the game for the Mountaineers as he notched a career-high in both points (22) and rebounds (12).
Following the loss to No. 3 Baylor, ESPN Bracketologist Joe Lunardi dropped West Virginia from a No. 2 seed to a No. 3 and replaced them with Houston - a team that has losses to East Carolina and Tulsa. In Friday's update, he still has Houston at two and West Virginia at three but did give the Mountaineers a new opponent.
