WVU Receives Votes in Latest AP Top 25 Poll

The Mountaineers are starting to get some national recognition.

West Virginia went 2-0 this past week with home wins over No. 15 UConn on Wednesday and Kent State on Sunday. Although the Mountaineers have struggled to find offensive consistency outside of Taz Sherman and Sean McNeil, they continue to find ways to win games. 

Monday, the new AP Top 25 poll came out and WVU is in the "receiving votes" category. Some may believe the Mountaineers should be ranked after beating UConn but the Huskies were without two of their best players, Tyrese Martin and Adama Sanogo.
