  Speaker 1: of weird, right, weather's amazing. The weather was weird all
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: over the place. I mean Arizona it rains thirty days
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: a year there. It rained two days while we were
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: just going.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: To say, you guys got about.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Tucson got rained with like whatever, but whatever, and
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: we're not there to enjoy the weather. Happy were enjoy
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to play basket.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: Exactly, exactly, Okay, business.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Trip absolutely for the good of the order. First off,
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: let's start with a sad note. And as you all know,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: if your regulars here, we try to do our best
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to get involved with folks, help people out when we
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: get the opportunity a group or an organization. And we
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: befriended a young lady on this program and in fact
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: did an event here in Morgantown as a fundraiser and
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: did a few other things helping her see the WVU
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: Pitt game. And unfortunately, Hoppy, she has passed away.
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: Ava May Lillard passed away last night. She'd been battling
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: cancer for months and she was just fourteen. She was fourteen,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: and we had an event for Ava May and her family,
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: her mom and dad, Sarabeth and Mike as you said
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: a few months back, and it was just a long,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: hard battle for her, and she passed away. She went
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: into hospice just a couple of days ago, and she
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: passed away overnight. And I sent a text on behalf
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: of all of us to her parents, said Sarahbeth and Mike.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: We had three guys are heartbroken. We were so hopeful
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: when we were all together a few months back. Ava
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: was tough and courageous, just like her parents. She was
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: taken from us too soon, but we will keep a
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: place for her in our hearts with love and comfort,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: the three guys and homeless Dave. So it's just one
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: of those things. It's a terrible tragedy. It does put
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: everything in perspective and reminds us right had, that life
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: is short and tenuous, and it's heartbreaking. We hope that
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: mom and Dad have at least some I don't know
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: how to get past that, but I hope they at
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: least have some wonderful memories of her and to carry
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: them forward.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: Well, set up, all right, and we jump on in,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: and as we said, this is busy because West Virginia
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: had They've got two two game road trips this season.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: The next one's going to be TCU in Oklahoma State,
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: and this one was the two Arizonas, which kind of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: go hand in hand. One thing I took away from it,
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So you left Tuesday, and you played through, you played Wednesday,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: and then you played Saturday again. Whether it's West Virginia
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: or whomever. When you go out and play two on
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: the road, like everything is in a multiplier, like time's four.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: It seems like it's four times longer than you're actually there.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: Like I said to Skippy over here a couple of times,
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I said, it's like we've been on the road for
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: two weeks.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: It feels like it. It feels like it right so on.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: So I just think statistically that second game for a team,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: when whoever it is, whether it's West Vigion, I'd love
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: to go back and look at the end of the season,
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: what are teams doing in the second game of a
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: straight two day.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: The way this the way Conference realignment's going soon. To
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: play some of these away games, you'll need a passport.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: We're getting close. I mean it's just two thousand mile flight. Yes,
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: you're gone for the better part of a week. It's
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: to play brad a Conference rival rivals.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's it is weird geographic. I
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: said to Tony when we were walking in Tempe. I said,
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: you know the history of this program has been a
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: ten where you're going up into Indian, New York.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: Kingston, Rhode Island. You're playing Springfield, mass.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Oh Way in New York. Hello.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: Then you go to the Big East and it's stores,
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: and it's Providence, and it's Syracuse, and it's it's the
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: it's up the road in pit.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: The big road trip was Miami.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Yes, oh, Miami.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: And so that ties in with what I told him Hoppy.
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: The last two road trips we've been on for conference play,
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: we've arrived and seen palm trees. I know, it's it's
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: just a bizarre geographic world we live in in terms
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: of college sports. Yes, wild and straight road trips with
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: palm trees. It hits you when you get there. I
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: don't think they have those in stores.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It was four it was four hours and thirty five
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: minutes to get out there. And I just asked while
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: we were flying, I said, dude, how many schools have
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: we just flown over that we could have played on
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: the way out here?
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: What do you think?
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I answered?
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: All of them? Most of them. And that's a great point.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: That is a wonderful way to put this in context.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: And even when you in the Atlantic ten it was
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: a little bit weird, like Saint Bonaventure, and but still
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: it was East. Yeah, you know, I mean That's the
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: thing about because I'm an Easterner. You read you're a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: Midwesterner now in Eastern Tony you're in Eastern is that
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: there's still a feeling about being east. Yes, but when
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: you go there, it's like, Wow, we're way out.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: On but you know what's you know what's wild. And
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: this really hit me while we were out there, is
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: we do that once a year where we head out there.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Now there's some weird trips going to Lubbock, Texas, and
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: that's still a long ways out there. I was State,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: still a long trip. Arizona, Aerozo State, and Utah's are
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: having to come this way more often.
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: But but what strikes you about it is I would
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: be hot if I was a if I was one
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: of those schools, or I was a former Pac twelve school,
• 8:31
  Speaker 4: I would be hot at those that made that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: Decision that break that league up. How there's not a
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: power five league on the west coast of the United
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: States is absolutely ridiculous. Quite frankly, it's ridiculous.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Big twelve went in, Big ten went in, and just
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: ate it. It's a primary.
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: I mean it fell apart because the Big ten, yeah
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: it's a twelve was there to help help give a
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: landing spot as they were to West Virginia. That's that's
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: the big ten going in there. USC was the primary
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: driver that I'd be hot if I was some of
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: those schools that followed suit with that.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: Right, and you're taught you're talking about the abandonment is.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: The West Coast Power five League. Think about that. It's
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a whole. There's no West Coast.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: It's not not even just the West Coast. It's California. Yeah, California,
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: which is the largest state in the country, doesn't have itself,
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: along with Washington, Oregon and a few other places, its
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: own league.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, well, seriously think about this. Think about
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: the all the long time Arizona season ticket holder. They
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: went into their seats at the McHale Center on Saturday
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: and they sat down and they see West Virginia on
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: their floor for the very first time in a league game.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: They had to have said, what in the.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: Health Before that, though, they went and watched Cincinnata.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly in West Virginia.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: So what it is is it's an all time great
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: case study of how to screw things up. And it's
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: an indictment. An indictment with a capital I on everyone
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: involved in the organization of collegiate athletics. They just absolutely
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: just pulled their pants down and got absolutely just run
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: when you start taking these two and we're not even
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: in the worst of it. We're not Oregon. We're not
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: Oregon flying to Rutgers. I mean, that's the ultimate ultimate.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: But it's bizarre. One of these days, I hope it
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: implodes again. And because as I said, it can't get
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: worse if you put you can't go farther.
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: If you put all the current Power five, the names
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: of all Power five schools in a hat and pulled
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: them out randomly, it would make more sense.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Probably would probably would wouldn't be as I mean, wouldn't
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: be horrible, It wouldn't be horribly worse.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: No, well, we can move on. It just struck me
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: from being out there that there was just some bre
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: bizarre geography around this particular.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: And yet, as I'll tell you all later, despite how
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: far away we were, I had a bizarre, a bizarre
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: West Virginia connection. Of course, you did inside of a
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: music store in two Son, excuse me, inside of a
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: music store in Tucson mine mind number.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: It wasn't bre No, just like standard operating procedure. Could
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: have been over in Westover, you could have been in
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: tuc Son, didn't matter. Three guys before the game, No
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: I do. In fact, no, yes, three.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Guys before the game is brought to us by this
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: one Comac's Business Systems. If your business place, workplace needs
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: a new phone system, Comax got you covered. Just tremendous
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: opportunities right now. If now is the time for you
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: to push the button. See what I did there on
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: a new phone system, contact the folks at Comacs. They'll
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: give you a free estimate. Take a look at all
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: the many things that those phone systems can do. Nowadays,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: we're so far removed from that one button that said
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: hold and hoppy, could you take a call? Okay, I'll
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: tell him. You're gone a little bit of a different
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: world right now. Visit COMASWV dot com. That's Comax WV
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: dot com recaps of the games coming up.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: But first you's got thoughts that sound brand new, but
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: that things we are already knew. He got his bomb ready,
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: Heaven knows, I take it quick before his lad. It's obvious.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: Ovation.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: Big weekend for the Dean. He wasn't with us for
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: basketball but he represented three guys at the WV Baseball
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: leadoff bank. Would you send some pictures? You guys looked
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: like you had a big time.
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: Big time. I'm going to get to that. I will
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: start with basketball. I'll leave most of the observations to
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: you guys you were there. I did watch the Arizona
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: State game and listen to you. I missed most of
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: the Arizona game because, as you said, it was at
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: the baseball banquet. So my obvious basketball observation is that
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: if you can go out to Arizona, if you can
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: go on a road trip in this league, and I think,
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: as one of the three said prior to leaving for
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: that road trip and come back one and one and
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: the one losses to the number one team in the country,
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: you take that every time. You take that every time.
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: So to my mind, and I know that the Arizona
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: game was a pretty severe disappointment, but to my mind,
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: that's almost a win that road trip. Number one. Number
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: two is that what is up with Arizona State and
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: Bobby Hurley. I mean, that looks like dead man walking there.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I mean, there's no there's no atmosphere at that arena.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: He seems to have checked out. He didn't seem to
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: be very engaged. Afterward, he said, I can't get to
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: this team. That seems Brad. That seems like we're just
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: waiting for something to happen there, right, That's what.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: I thought it was after our game. And yet then
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: they turn around and drill Cincinnati, so they rose a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: little bit. But yeah, that was That was an interesting
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: press conference after our game.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, now three out of four, now you have three out.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: It was also interesting from this standpoint, Towny, I've never
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: seen this. We talked about this on the air, Bobby,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: and I'm sorry to interrupt obvious observation. This is a
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: non obvious observation. Never seen this. Head coach Bobby Hurley
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: before our game was out running the layup lines like
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: for directing and coach in simple basic layup lining drills.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not trying to be funny here. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: have not seen that before. The assistants were all gathered
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: kind of at mid court, not really doing anything, and
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Hurley was out there running guys through drills. It is
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: almost like it was a practice before it began.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: It did. He's done. That's yeah, he's done. It's over
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: with eleven years, he'll go do something else. I don't
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: know if we'll coach again, go on TV, whatever it is.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: But he's checked out.
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: Were they practicing like pivot foot.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: Or I mean pretty close? Yeah, they were pretty close.
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: It was wow. So now three your next four games
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: at home. Your road game is Cincinnata, so you got
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: to you got a chance here and have a good
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: couple of weeks. I know you guys will talk about that.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: So let me go to baseball. I was the plus
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: one with Homeless Dave for the leadoff banquet there on Saturday,
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: which got moved up because the weather. Had an opportunity
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: to sit with President Benson. Excuse me our table. We
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: had a good table.
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: It was to him over here, I am, I've already
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I got the spiel beforehand.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: It was a good table with homeless President Benson, Rin Baker,
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: her mountaineer, Rachel Morgan there, she's terrific and WVU women's
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: track standout Emily Bryce. She's terrific, she's terristic. Oh we
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: know her, right, yeah, yeah, she's yeah and uh I
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: asked her what she ran that day and was indoors
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: because the weather, But I mean, just incredible. Do you
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: know the first baseball game seventeen days away.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, they get it going nowadays, they get it going.
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: Georgia Southern in Statesboro, of course. Coach, So I want
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: to report to you about the bank because I a
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: lot of things stood out to me.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: Coach Sabran, Why wouldn't it be It's what he does,
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: you decide.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: Coach Saban spoke of course as his president, President Benson
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: and Baker Don Robinson make Bulger was the MC at
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: A wonderful job. All the players on the team came
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: up and introduced themselves. They were all dressed, looked great.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: The featured speaker was.
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: What were you laughing about?
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: There nothing I'm listening to.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: This featured speaker was very impressive. Jason Redman a retired
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: naval officer US Naval Seal Navy Seal. He was severely
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: injured during a special ops mission in Iraq. He was
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: shot in the arm and through the face. Underwent thirty
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: seven surgeries, twelve hundred stitches, and he's a motivational speaker,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: spoken across the country more than seven hundred times. And
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: his point was he took some of the lessons he
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: learned from Navy Seal training was be the elite version
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: of yourself? Okay, how can you be the elite version
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: of yourself? It was very inspiring, and he spoke to
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: the team the day before, which was very appropriate. How
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: do you be the elite version of yourself? Not just
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: good enough? So it was really it was a wonderful,
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: wonderful presentation. But what stood out to me about the
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: whole thing was, guys, look how far WU Baseball's come
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: in just a few years. I mean, new stadium, new scoreboard,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: winning the league twice in a row, going to the regionals,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: what three times? Last three times? Going to the super
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: regionals to out of the last three times. And when
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: you heard coach Saban's talk, when you heard Ren talk,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: when you heard the president talk, and President Benson knows
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: something about baseball, because what a Coastal Carolina do last year?
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: Very good?
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: Went to the national World Yeah, a World's champion. That's
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: a program that's won a World's championship.
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: So they talked about guys, They talked about Oma Hall,
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: they talked about getting to Omaha. It wasn't about all
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: we want to get better. It wasn't about all we
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: want to get to a regional. All we want to
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: win the conference. They want to do all that, but
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: the focus was on Oma Hall. They have set this
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: goal very high with this baseball team right now.
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well you've been knocking on the door. Yeah, I
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: mean it's not pipe dream. You just mentioned the Super
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: Regionals there, you've been right knocking on that door. In fact,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of people thought they were getting there out
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: of that in Carolina Series a couple of years ago.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Right, you were right there, right there. So we're gonna
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: have to watch this baseball team and we're going to
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: be homeless. Has committed us to being out there several times,
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: probably a BW three because it's a BW three right
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: by the baseball stadium. So I was really just thought, Wow,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: this is this is going to be we'll see because
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: you set your goal, what Brad, You set your goal higher? Okay,
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: so now it is harder to reach.
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: So which is just a crazy unthinkable goal that you
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: would even talk about twenty five, fifteen, twenty years ago,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: ten years ago even Yeah.
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: Got a lot of new players, had to get a
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: lot of new arms, starting pitchers. So I think we
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: should be excited about this WV baseball team.
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't know why you wouldn't be.
• 18:20
  Speaker 3: Okay of note another example of how college landscape has
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: has changed, Oklahoma hires Illinois Deputy A D Roger Denny
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: as the new AD, succeeding Joe Castigli.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: He's a he is a a double of Michael for Gail.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: You know Michael. Yeah. Yes. They oftentimes get mistaken for
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: one another at the Big Twelve Tournament. People will come
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: up to Michael and start asking him stuff about Oklahoma.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: He should just answer. Here's the key element of his bio.
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Of Roger Denny's bio spent nearly fifteen years practicing Wall
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: focusing on brad executive compensation, taxation, corporate finance, and licensing.
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: He went to Southeast Missouri State. I can't find the
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: evidence he played in the sports, which is fine because
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: it used to be you get the old coach and
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: hire them as the AD. Now you're looking for people
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: are who are at the top of their game in
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: the business side of college athletics, not just the business side,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: but the intricacies and nuances of the new landscape. Correct.
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think this is a couple things. And he
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: has been in college athletics with Illinois, so it's not
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: someone that's unfamiliar with the terrain, because I do think
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: that still matters. This is such a bizarre field to
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: come in completely from the outside, as we have seen,
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: is difficult to do and navigate. I think one of
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: the most interesting part of his bio was what was
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: stated by some of the Oklahoma folks that of that
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: law degree, it's not just the law background, and we
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: know how many cases are ending up and we're talk
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: talking about that side of things, but they mentioned this specifically.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Guys they talked about Oklahoma believing there's there's still tons
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: of chaos coming over the next thirty six to seventy
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: two months in college sports, but that this particular guy's
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: one of his one of his expertise areas litigation, not
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: only litigation, collective bargain, collective bargaining.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: Thought that was the key.
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Point to that that there's Oklahoma one of these out
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: of the sec that likes to try and drive the
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: agenda talking about one of the areas of interest. Here
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: was his expertise in collective bargaining.
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: It's super significant in this hire because, as you stated,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: he is an atypical hire for an athletic director. Jokistig Leon,
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: who was one of the most respected guys in the
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: business and has been for year, climbed the ranks from
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: the SID world. So he knew marketing right. Marketing.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: He was one of the very He was one of
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: the very first guys in the in a new in
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: a new department of marketing and college athletics that became
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: the athletic director.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: He was.
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: He was the grand poo bah for us marketing folks.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: He was the first one to crack through.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: Right, So he came up that way. Well, now we're
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: as you said, the AT and T CEO is remaining
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: as a consultant to the president. So just another indication
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: of where this thing is going. And as you said,
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: it used to be the old retired coach used to
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: be your ad. Now it's a complete opposite. It's business people.
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: We'll see how it works.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think it's beyond business people. We've seen
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: business people try it before and have had not had
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: success in this.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: But this is different.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: This is a specific niche. This is a really niche
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: down higher and listen, here's the other thing, guys, It's
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: where the landscape changed. Let's not lose the track of this.
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: The departments are so much larger now. You can have
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: people with different skill sets in there. You're not just
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: looking at an athletic director that can do one specific
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: thing in there. So the Oklahoma's decided to go this
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: route and make that higher. I do think it's important
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that he has some experience in college sports. It's hard
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: to walk into this world without having any frame or
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: reference to what you're doing and understand how difficult it
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: is to navigate.
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: But it's knowledge of college four with an expertise in
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: these areas that are becoming paramount going forward. Okay, and finally,
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: I'd like to give you these little historic nuggets. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: like his.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Weally like those.
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: On this day, seventy years ago, Hank Greenberg was elected
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was the first
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: Jewish baseball star elected to the Hall of Fame, and
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: he served four years in the military in World War Two.
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: Four years. His salary went from fifty five thousand dollars
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: a year, which I think he was making with the
• 22:29
  Speaker 3: Detroit to twenty one dollars a month. Baseball historians say
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Greenberg may have suffered more racial slurs during his time
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: than any player other than Jackie Robinson because he was
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: Jewish and he spoke up for He was one of
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: the few opposing players at that time who spoke up
• 22:45
  Speaker 3: in support of Jackie Robinson. So, Hank Greenberg a guy
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: you don't hear as much about when you consider all
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: the great stars.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: A legendary West Coast guy. Yeah, legendary. Yeah, he is
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: absolutely a legendary.
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: Now, well, there's no West Coast and sports anymore.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: I don't hear about it. That's why they closed no
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: West sports. They closed the West Coast at least the college.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: That's true. But also four years of his career taken
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: out by service in the military.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: I mean Ted Williams, right, How many of those dudes
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: went into the how And I loved the Jack Fleming story.
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: Jack Fleming was a navigator shot out of a plane
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: over France and landed in a tree.
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: Think about that, rehabbed at the Greenburn, which was a
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: hospital at that time. And he was the DJ.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: He was the DJA, you know big nowadays people go
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: to these big fancy hotels right there, flow Rider and
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: those being there in there like spinning those hits. Jack
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: flo flow floor Rider, floor Rider.
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: He was there with us in Florida.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Yes, he was at the Orange Bowl or yeah, it
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: was the Orange Bowl. He had he had his Bugatti
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: parked out front all.
• 23:49
  Speaker 3: Week with Florida as his license. That's how we knew.
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: And then so Jack was just doing it years and
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: years in events. He was spinning the hits at the Greenbrier.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: And making the morning announcements stuff like that. Anyway, that's
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: what I got, all right, very good. Well that was
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: something thoughts from Hobby's point of.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: View, Hop's the best has been brought to us.
• 24:15

• 24:28
  Speaker 1: a shot in or two? What do you give you? Like, Hey,
• 24:31

• 24:33

• 24:35
  Speaker 4: No.
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: Rent seemed to be on his best behavior, and uh
• 24:38

• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Coach Sabans presenting him with his own.

  Speaker 3: They were modeling. Four or five of the players modeled
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: the uniforms.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: That's great.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: They were well received. I thought of you, Brad, but
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: they were.

  Speaker 2: They were given the success of throwbacks through football and basketball.

  Speaker 2: and battled back. So let's look back a couple things
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: we thought maybe issues in the game. What were the issues?
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: Number one, we said, pace will again be a factor
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: when playing the Sun Devils. They want to get up
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: and down the floor. Came into the game ninety fifth
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: percentile nationally in fast break points per game. They like
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: to shoot threes. In transition, West Virginia won the pace battle.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Guys controlled that game for most of it. Just seven
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: fast break points for Arizona States. So exactly what we
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: had hoped happened, did that you would frustrate them stylistically
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: and they wouldn't be able to get up and down
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: the floor. This was another team Arizona State was that
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: got to the free throw line a lot following that
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: Colorado game when that was another team that came in
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: with a high free throw attempt rate. They also shot
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: it really well from the line, coming in seventy six
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: percent free throw percentage in Big Twelve play. But in
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: this game, both teams made ten free throws. Came out
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: as a wash for a category that I thought Arizona
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: State had to win if they were going to beat
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: West Virginia, and I thought this was significant. Guys, Arizona
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: State only shot fifty six percent from the line twenty
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: percent lower than what their average was coming in a
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: big reason. Moe Odem, their talented point guard score was
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: just three of seven and Tony we talked about it
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: right when that game opened, very first possession hop they
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: had mo Odom on Honor Huff and I thought, man,
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: that's a heck of a challenger gamble right there to
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: put your primary ball handler, your best distributor on ONNR.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Huff and you're going to have to chase him all night.
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: Don't know if that showed up later, but three of
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: seven from the free throw line for a guy that
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: had to chase Honor all night might have been a
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: factor benefit to the Mountaineers. We said this was a
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: really good offensive rebounding team. They were third in offensive
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: rebounding percentage and big twelve play coming in and had
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: some length, had some real size. That was going to
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: be a battle. However, West Virginia won the second chance
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: points battle ten to nine, held Arizona State below its
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: season average and second chance points and well below its
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: average and offensive rebounding, So another good night for West
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Virginia on the board. On the boards, we did say
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Arizona State had struggled defensively in Big Twelve play, they
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: were last in defensive efficiency, last and effective field goal
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: percentage defense, second to last in defensive rebound percentage. So
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: we thought that was an area West Virginia could get
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: in and win. As we just pointed out, it did.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: On that West Virginia ended up scoring seventy five points,
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: made eleven threes, forty six percent from three, fifty five
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: percent from two, and had an effective field goal percentage
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: in that game in the eighty seventh percentile. When you
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: look at some individual performances, you have to start with
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: Trey Eagle. Staff absolutely lights out in that game. And
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: it wasn't just the totals where he landed. It was
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: early hoppy. If he doesn't score those fourteen first half points,
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: I think you're in some real trouble. I mean, he
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: carried you offensively through the first half. If you if
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: you don't have him, you're down what you're down twenty
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: twenty two points, twenty four points, and that's probably to
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: come back. And I thought Trey was absolutely outstanding. Up
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: to and including that game. He had made twenty seven
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: threes in nine games, averaging three per game. And I
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: thought Arizona State just continued what we've been talking about
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: for a number of weeks. Now that you're starting to
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: see his expanded offensive game. He can make threes, he
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: can cross you over and hit the mid range, he
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: can finish at the basket, he can post you up.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I thought Trey Eaglestaff was a huge reason why you
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: beat Arizona State. Another huge factor, how about Jasper Floyd
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: in that game, guys two huge threes, five rebounds, five assists,
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: and then maybe an underrated part of his game, it
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: shows up week after week, just like he did with
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Isaiah Johnson from Colorado. He held the aforementioned Moe odem
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: in check. Odom went just six of fourteen from the floor,
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: two of six from three, and we mentioned really struggled
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: in the second half. But those threes for Jasper were
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: absolutely tremendous. Hop Tony had a great call on the
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: one from the far wing from us when he had
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: to shoot it over the six to eleven through it
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: that was closed on him. Jasper did put a little
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: extra extra height on that Tony. Tony gave it. It's
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: raining in the desert.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: I heard that may have hit the roof of the arena.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I said to jazzp afterwards, I said, that's that's a
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: great shot man, a little extra arc. He goes that
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: was either going to hit nothing, but that he was right.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: He wasn't quite sure it was. It was. There was
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: such an arc on that Tony, it went out of
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: the frame on TV.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe that. I believe it. Yeah.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Brendon Laurent was really good, in particular in the second half.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: So another one of those baton games we talk about.
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: Trey carried you offensively in the first half, jasper with
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: a little in the second to help you, and then
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: below eleven second half points. He finishes with four rebounds
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: and three assists. And I thought the Arizona State game, guys,
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: was a good example of what we talk about. When
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: this offense is working, you're spending so much attention on honor,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: and then when Trey starts scoring, you've got us pay
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: attention on him. Arizona State tried to switch and come
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: out on those guys so much. It left that little
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: pocket pass, that short roll into Brendan Laurient in the
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: middle of the lane wide open to do what he want.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: He had a bunch of teardrop little jumpers, but also
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: distributed it out of there as well. I thought the
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: best sign of that game came in halftime Tony. Arizona
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: State was shooting nearly sixty percent from the floor, yet
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: couldn't pull away from West Virginia. And then West Virginia
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: did what it wants to do in the second half,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: clamp down defensively held them below forty percent shooting on
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: the game and walks out of there with a win.
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was huge, needed to get that one because
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you saw and despite the problems Arizona State is happening.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: They beat up Cincinnati. Could have been you, right, that
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: could have been you. So you just took care of
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: your business, and then it gives you the bounce. Obviously,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: nothing worse than when you lose the first game of
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: a two game road trip. Everything just kind of goes
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: into molasses mode of the of the most winnable game
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: of the correct exactly. And then you go to Arizona
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: and a bunch of thoughts about Arizona. One of Hoppy's
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: obvious observations would have been, they're really good. Yeah, they
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: are really good. I don't think the number one. I
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: don't think they'll win it all, but I think they're
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: really good.
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: They're offensive, they're offensive, firepowers impressive. They are really difficult
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: to stop offensively. Now that's a tough formula when you're
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: trying to win the whole thing. But offensively they are very,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: really multi skilled. And I think that was evidenced by
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: the point guys, and I know it's hard to have
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: this conversation in the game you lost by thirty five.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: West Virginia executed on its game plan really well, believe
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: it or not. I mean, against a team that's that
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: good offensively, you've got to live with something. You're not
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: taking everything away. So West Virginia went into that game
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: saying to them, we have got to close the lane off.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: This is a team. They're not tricky offensively. They're not
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: going to run a bunch of sets. They don't have
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: a bunch of different offensive plays. They just keep running
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: that wheel where they throw it to the guy, let
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: him try and drive right, and they try and just
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: hammer you down ill then throw into their bigs inside.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: And so the discussion was, you got to close the
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: lane out. They can't beat us lobbing to Krevas, the
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: seven to two talent at center all day. They've got
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: to do something they don't want to do, and that
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: shoot threes. They came into that game last in attempts
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: from behind the arc in Big Twelve play, so it's like, okay,
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: they got talented shooters here, make them beat you from three,
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: and if they do, so be it. You've got to
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: keep them off the offensive glass. You've got to slow
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: them down, and you've got to keep them from penetrating.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: So let's look into some of those numbers, and that's
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: just on your defensive end. Then I'll get to offense
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: in a second. You held them to seventeen points via
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: fast break, which ultimately was one of the deciding categories
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: in my opinion, but it was it wasn't terrible quite frankly,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: as good as they are, that's right on their average,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: in fact, just to tip below what they normally get
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: off fast break offensive rebound. This is one of the
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: best offensive rebounding teams in this league. And you did
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: a really good job. Their second chance points were seven
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: to seven, and they were seven to one at halftime,
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: so you really did a nice job on the boards,
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: and against a team that's really hard to stay in
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: there against the boards are on the boards you wanted
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: to force them to make threes. As I just mentioned,
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: they had a thirty nine percent three point attempt rate
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: in the game against West virgin It saw almost forty
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: percent of their shots from three. So you did clog
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: the lane as you did clog the langan pretty well.
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: They were averaging a twenty eight percent three point attempt
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: rate on the season, so you made them do something
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: that they hadn't had to do all season. Tip your cap.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: They made double digit threes for just the fourth time
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: all season, their first game since December thirteenth, and they
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: shot it well forty three percent for the game, just
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: thirty six percent normally from three on the season. So
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: you tried to say to them, do something you don't
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: want to do. We're going to close off what you
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: want to do. And they said, oh, is that right.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: That's fine, we'll line up and make some threes. Burry's
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: the freshman, was outstanding. He led them there from behind
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: the area. I thought there were two main areas here
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: that you just couldn't overcome, and one of those was
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: the fast break points. You held them fairly in check,
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: but you didn't get any easy turnovers off of them,
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: and able to get yourself the other way, they were
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: plus thirteen in points off fast breaks. The other point
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: points at the free throw line, they were plus thirteen.
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: And that, man, that was a wild stat there for
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: a team that spent its day around the three point line,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: they got to the free throw line a ton twenty
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: three free throw attempts, just four for West Virginia. And
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: it was a game, guys, that if you look at
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: free throw attempt rates, so your attempts divided by your
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: field goal attempts, when a West Virginia's lowest of the
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: last decade. The last time it's had a lower free
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: throw attempt rate was that infamous game in Allen Fieldhouse
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: when the Jayhawks outshot you thirty five to two from
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: the free throw line. So a negative thirteen point differential
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: at the line didn't help you in that category. When
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: on top of those things, you just simply weren't making shots.
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: And I thought West Virginia's offensive game plan was really
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: good in the first half, Tony. There were some looks
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: that were jaw dropping how open they were from West
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: Virginia just couldn't get shots to fall. Honor had a
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: tough day from three, and as we know, he's got
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: to make some shots for you to be in it.
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: Just couldn't make enough shots to stay in there. Your
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: second fewest made threes on the season, second lowest three
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: point percentage on the season, second lowest two point percentage
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: on the season. And I mentioned the lowest free throw
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: attempt rate since that Kansas game when they outshot you
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: thirty five to two at the line. So he just
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: didn't have any areas where your offense was coming from,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: going against a team that eventually is going to break
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: the damn when it comes to offense.
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, agreed, agreed. They're an interesting group to watch. They
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: we're recording here on Monday. They got a massive game
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: tonight BYU. That'll be really interesting at BYU.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that place will be jumping, and it's coming off
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: a game when aj Debonsa put up forty three. How
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: about the freshmen in this league? I just mentioned Burris
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: for Arizona, the least bally hoot of their two true
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: freshmen along with CoA Pete, who are both outstanding. Burris
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: had what twenty two against US, And that's not even
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: a footnote in this league For what freshmen did over
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: the weekend. Deabonsa with forty three. Kingston Flemings from Houston
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: put up forty two and six assists in a win
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: over Texas Tech. He's lost, they lose. They lost to Texas.
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: Tech Tech one.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, there was a freshman baby and really good.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I asked an NBA person how many guys on Arizona's
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: current roster are in the NBA and they last in
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: the NBA said three, Yeah, three dudes, it'll be in
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: the MBI. That's what you got to have to win
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: the league. That's what you got to have to Legitimately.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: Three, three, two will get her done.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: We've often said two, and you better have another two
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: or three that play that play elsewhere like in Europe
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: for a time. And they have that. I mean every
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: one of their top seven will play somewhere overseas. Yeah,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: they're good.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Offensively, they're very hospitable, Oh really, very nice, very nice people,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: very nice people.
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: You know what, because they don't know who you are.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: It's like your aliens have come in there, like these
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: people from another planet. Let's let's what's let's understand their
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: ways exactly.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: No, there's a lot to that too. There's a lot
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: to that.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: All right, you want to do k State.
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, let's do k State. This is the first
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: of two encounters. We go out there later. They're ten
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: and ten.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: Lost six of the last seven. One biggest place league
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: loan wins over Utah by three. Loan road win is
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: over Creighton back on December thirteenth. Also interesting, I had
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: a four game losing streak in that non conference schedule.
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: Stop me if you've heard this. Another team that wants
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: to push it up and down the floor. It's the
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: fourth straight. Kansas, Colorado, Arizona State, and Arizona all teams
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: that want to push again. This is one of those
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: where you want pace to be a factor. May slow
• 41:24
  Speaker 2: them down, control it, be efficient on the offensive end,
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: take time, score and then get your defense set and
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: hopefully that frustration plays at the end. Given what we
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: just saw in Arizona, this is nice to see. I
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: hope this number holds. They don't get to the free
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: throw line a whole lot. Three hundred and thirty sixth
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: nationally in free throw attempt rate. That's in the essence,
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: the bottom thirty and dead last in Big twelve play.
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: So you need that to continue. Make them score over
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: you don't give them free points at the line shoot
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: it well from three on this season thirty first nationally
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: and three point percentage, but thirteenth in Big twelve play
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: in that category, so you're probably going to have a
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: high variance game. The team that doesn't get to the
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: line a lot but likes to shoot three, likes to
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: push it up and down the floor. They have struggled
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: defensively so far in Big twelve play, last in defensive rebounding.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: So can this be a night where you win the
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: second chance points battle again as you did against Arizona
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: State and you hung right there against Arizona. They're thirteenth
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: in Big twelve play and opponent effective field goal percentage,
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: So what that is hop effective field goal percentage counts
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: three pointers in there and gives them a little more
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: weight because they're worth more. So can this be a
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: game where you score on our fishing offensively? Twelfth and
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: Big Twelve play in opponent two point percentage, so people
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: have been able to get in the lanes on them.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: They are second in three point percentage defense in Big
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: twelve play, So another one of those games if they're
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: flying it on or in tray. Can the Bigs eat inside?
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Can that be a Brendon Laurie and Harlan Obioha. Can
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: they have big games inside find a way to get
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: some easy baskets back with second chance points. That's part
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: of that reason too. Hop they're struggling on the defensive
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: glass and then giving you shots in the lane. Couple
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: guys to keep an eye on.
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: PJ.
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: Haggerty is the main guy to watch for them. Outstanding
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: First team All American last year at Memphis, can take
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: over a game from the offensive end. Has scored twenty
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: plus in all but five games. Has gone thirty or
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: more in three games, all winners when he goes for
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: thirty more. Excellent spot up shooter top five percent nationally
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: and points per possession catch and shoots. Primarily, he's an
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: excellent tough shot maker forty seven percent from three unguarded
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: catch and shoots. He will try and get to the rim,
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: though thirty eight percent of his shots come at the basket,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: and he's seventy two percent on those shots. So closing
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: off the lane to him force him to become only
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: a jump shooter, as he takes sixty six percent of
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: his shots in the lane or at the basket. So
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: here's another one. Say it every night. It's why you
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: have to have a really good defensive guard West Virgin
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: He's got a couple in Jasper and a mirror. Jasper's
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: going to draw that main assignment. Can you slow him down, or,
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: as we often say, at least make him earn his
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: points and make some difficult shots. Bring Amir in to
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: harass him when Jasper needs to breathe. One area maybe
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: where you can capitalize on him. And a lot of
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: this is because he has the ball in his hands
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: so much. He's a really ball dominant guard. But just
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: eighty six assists to seventy two turnovers, so barely above
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: one right in terms of assists of turnovers. Can you
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: capitalize on some tos from him and get the other
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: way watch six' Nine kamari. McGriff i'm not sure why
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: they're not using him. More he is really. Talented seventy
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: six percent field goal percentage from. Two he's a pick and, roll, offensive,
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: rebounding post up. Guy one point three points per possession
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: in all three of those, categories which is really. Elite
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: seventy five percent of his shots are at the. Rim
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: So harlan with another good, matchup and there were a
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: be low at six,' nine trying to keep McGriff out of.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: The paint third guy, to watch but sheer another really talented,
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: offensive player a. Good shooter they like to use him
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: out of timeouts and, on baseline out. Of bounds really
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: good from three on the high pick and roll if
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: you want to it down forty percent when you see
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: him at the top and they come out to get
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: him with a high ball screen excellent from. The wings
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: so You have haggarty trying to drive and get to
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: the ring the lane and then sprang to the Wings,
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: for bashir as fifty one percent of his shots come
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: from either the left wing or the, right wing he's
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: forty three percent from both of, those spots so close
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: the lane Off. To haggarty that helps you on the wings.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: As Well. With bashir there's case.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: State, well done, Well done so this game will be
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: a lot so much, just mentally where are? Those guys
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: these are the kind of games where you have to
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: immediately give them no.
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: Hope.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: Whatsoever right you don't let them get a good start
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: because then, they, go oh it might be. All right
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: but if you can, jump them throttle them down, early
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: on put your foot on top of. Their throat just
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: start relaxing and putting that down on that wind pipe
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: in that just that's what you need.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: To do they had a tough night at Home, against
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: kansas lost by twenty four To.
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: The jayhawks that doesn't go over Well. This sunflower this
• 46:02

  Speaker 2: be a normal. Coliseum crowd so the folks that do,
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: show up hopefully you get a big student turnout. For
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: this THE students i think are going to. Be critical
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: you want to win, this game you need a heavy.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Student attendance you need a loud student base that can
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: make up for maybe some empty seats that you. Might
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: see but you're gonna have to bring your own.
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: Energy here and.
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Obvious observation when you look at the totality of, the
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: schedule this is a game you cannot let. Get away
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: you should win. The game can't let her. Get away

• 59:59
  Speaker 1: mountain near football and back basketball just to get flat
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: out embarrassed EVERY time i play a. Ranked team instead of,
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: making excuses call it what. It is they want fans
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: to keep showing up and, donating money but this is
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: what they. Put out the better change fast and both
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: of the revenue SPORTS or i have a feeling money
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: is going to start. Drying up just. MY opinion i
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: know you guys. Don't, agree well so let me let
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: me get it go a, little BIT because i did do.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: A little i did do a little, looking back and
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: there's no question when you play these ranked teams on,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: the road you certainly want to. Perform better and yet
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: when you're starting the, whole Thing As west virginia is
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: with all, new players stuff. Can HAPPEN because i remember
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: taking some significant butt beatings back in. The day they
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: were in. My head we'd go on the Road And
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: John bee lion's teams would get crunched before, year THREE
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: so i went and looked. At him two thousand, And
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: Three west virginia Goes To notre dame and plays, Number
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: Eleven notre dame got beat by. Nineteen points, Same Year
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: west virginia goes to pitt number seven in. The Country
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: west virginia got beat by. Thirty six, Same Year west
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: virginia Goes, To syracuse they're. Ranked Fifteenth west virginia gets
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: beat by. Thirty eight the, next year two thousand, And
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 1: four john second year at, Number Five yukon husky's win by.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: Thirty points so, to me, to me it's still. Too
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: early if it were year Three And west virginia was
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: getting boat raced by, these Margins then i'd think you got.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: An issue, but like this is what it is for.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: Right now you, just man you just played a team
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: Specifically with arizona. Talent wise as, we said they're absolutely
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 1: just loaded and they got. It all so if you're
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: not ready to go and you don't, make shots those
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: kinds of things can happen.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: Keep. COMING tony i think that's really good research on,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 3: your PART and i. AGREE completely, i mean you have
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 3: four different coaches and four entirely different teams in. Four
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 3: years so let me.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: Say this two years after, those, numbers yes they were
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: In the.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 3: Elite eight so and you're right if three years from
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 3: now you're getting beat thirty by somebody in. Your conference, You,
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 3: go wow what's going? On here but you do have
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 3: to give it. SOME time i know people get tired of,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: hearing that but. YOU do i think this year the,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 3: goal is, you know win your home games and do
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 3: your best and then start building for. Next year, and also, You,

• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: program that's one of the best of. All time this
