MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – West Virginia men's basketball's social media accounts are now considered among the NCAA's "Power Dozen" according to Skull Sparks, a college sports digital and design firm based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Mountaineer basketball's popular social media accounts WVUhoops on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram recently surpassed a combined 534,000 followers, placing it 11th among the NCAA's top men's basketball programs.
The top 10 this week includes Duke (4.35 million followers), Kentucky (1.78 million), North Carolina (1.63 million), Indiana (1.55 million), Kansas (1.51 million), Michigan (942,000), Oklahoma (727,000), Wisconsin (716,000), Michigan State (708,000) and Notre Dame (625,000).
Mountaineer football also has a very strong social media presence. West Virginia ranks 18th nationally this week in combined Instagram, Twitter and Facebook followers with more than 708,000.
That ranks West Virginia third in the Big 12 behind just Oklahoma (1.6 million) and Texas (1.2 million).
You can follow Mountaineer football on Twitter by liking @WVUfootball. Facebook and Instagram users can also access the Mountaineers by liking WVUfootball.
A big tip of the cap to the entire digital media team comprised of Grant Dovey, Nathaniel Zinn, Bryan Messerly, Mike Montoro, Kristin Coldsnow, Tyler Schiefelbein, Austin Gaines, Caleb Saunders, Tyler Cheng, Austin Michaels, Chris Ostien, Sean Merinar and Sarah Ramundt for continuing to develop interesting content to keep Mountaineer fans from Weirton to Welch, Martinsburg to Matewan and all points in between (and beyond!) engaged and entertained!
Great job everyone!
