Has West Virginia University ever won a Basketball National Championship?
No. They played in the National Championship once, I think in 1959 vs. California and lost by one point. Actually, WVU won the NIT in 1942. At the time, the NCAA was only 3 years old and the NIT was considered the more prestigious of the two events. Early in the life of the NCAA tournament, teams would turn down invites in favor of the NIT. So while the 1942 team was not the NCAA champion, they were in fact national champions.
