Moments ago, the West Virginia Mountaineers defeated the Auburn Tigers 85-77 in the Final Four to win the Western Conference Finals and advance to the National Championship!
This, of course, cannot happen in real life due to COVID-19, but The 2020 Tourney ran a video game simulation of the tournament  and the Mountaineers will now play Illinois in the National Chanpionship game on Monday night at 8.
