Incredible season by the Mountaineers. Made the final four and set a bunch of program records. They'll be back in Omaha soon. This program is still in the early stages of becoming a national power.

This feels like that Duke Final Four basketball game. Amazingly fun ride to Final Four. Program and fanbase energized. Ran into a great team who played great and we didn’t have our best.
