  Speaker 1: United States. I don't know if you know that. I

• 3:57
  Speaker 1: well that's good. Yeah, and you've been following the Golden Blue. Yeah,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: it's been a while. It's been six days before.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: The Cincinnati game. Last time we were on.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so yeah, so we're are we we're not recapping Cincinnati, right, We're.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Just well, I got we should talk a little bit
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: about Cincinnati.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we haven't talked about it, Okay. Hoppy's obvious observations
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: are coming up. The week looks like this. It is
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a much needed reload week for the Mountaineers. Obviously, they
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: played on Sunday against Texas Tech. Will talk about that game.
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: They don't play again until Saturday night at UCF. One
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: of these surprise, not one of the the surprise the
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: surprisiest team in the Big Twelve this year. I don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: think there's any ifs or butts about that. They had
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: all new players. West Virginia, Baylor, and UCF for the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: three schools in the league did not return a single
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: point or rebound. And they have had a season. And
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: West Virginia is going to go there on Saturday night
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: take their shot. It's one of two against UCF in
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: the next seven games. West Virginia will have UCF here
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: on the final weekend of the regular season, a Friday
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: night game against UCF, so we go a lot to
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: get into. I think it's a much needed rest time
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: for West Virginia. They got to get their legs back.
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: We'll do a full preview UCF come in up later
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: this week, but I think West Virginia's right there in
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: surprise of the league too, same league record. I mean,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: there's only five teams above West Virginia and UCF that
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: have more league wins than those two do. So for
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: two of the teams to have one hundred percent new players,
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: I think those are both surprises of the league so far.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: It's a really good point that that stat alone, you've
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: got sixteen teams in this league, and you've got to
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: rebuilt West Virginia team, new coaching staff, new everything. And
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: right now there are only five teams above you win
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: wise in the standings, and all five of those teams
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: are nationally ranked. And if memory serves me correctly, you're
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: only playing one of those teams for the rest of
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: the way through.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Now you're playing none. B Yu B Yu's below you,
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: BYU has far.
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: As far as nationally ranked. Yeah yeah, yeah.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing about the five above you right now.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: And there's a lot of basketball left. I realize that.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: But as we sit here today on whatever this is
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: February tenth, five teams above you with more league wins.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: Those five are in the top thirteen when it comes
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: to best odds to win a national championship. They're five
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: at the top thirteen on draft games right now. So
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: it's legit. Five national title contenders are the only ones
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: above you in terms of wins. So keep plugging away
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: for the Mountaineers.
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you this last night Arizona Kansas. Now you
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: may differ on this all different yikes. I love that
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: basketball game. That was a beauty. That was two really
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: good teams just slugging it out. Now, my boy over here,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: he's killing me on it because he says they don't
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: play defense, or Kansas doesn't play defense, or Arizona doesn't
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: play even I'm just saying, like, that was a game,
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an entertainment store.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: We've got West Virginia stuff talk about, so we won't
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: do all this. But the Darren Peterson thing just continues
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: to me to just be an, oh my god, what
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: is happening? Well, what is going on over there?
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: One?
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: Just one, one, two, and three probably for that, what
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: is happening with Darren Peterson, But number two, for Kansas
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: to go out and win that and the streak that's
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: out there now thirty nine and oh on Big Monday
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: under Bill self thirty nine and oh that is absolutely
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: jaw dropping stunning. And for them to win with no
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: Peterson against that loaded Arizona team, that building was on fire.
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: It was an incredible college basketball environment. But I was
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: just I was blown away by the Darren Peterson stuff
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: first and then the game. Yeah, it was a wonderful
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: college basketball game, no doubt.
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: So the Peterson thing, I keep saying, I can't wait
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: till the truth comes out, whether that's a thirty for
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: thirty and five years from now. But that was a
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: mind blower. So this morning I went to the Big
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: twelve injury report, I go, did they list him at all?
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Did not? Did not? Did not, did not list him
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: at all ninety minutes before the game. He's playing in
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: So that it just came up right before tip off.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: It's un amazing. Never seen anything like it, but then ever,
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: but I'm not trying to overhype prisoner of the moment.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Never seen anything like it ever.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: So that they didn't know that was coming, I'll take
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: them at their work. They didn't know that was coming.
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: For them to not have that affect their performance, and
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I know they've played a lot of minutes without him.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: I know they're internally probably more used to the chaos
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: than what we are externally when we only see it occasionally.
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: But for them to rally and play without him and
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: win in that game, a remarkable performance by them for
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: a Kansas program that has completely turned their season around
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: since they left Morgan down.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: And got beat here does it was interesting what Bill
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: selfs said and again that we don't know what the
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: Peterson story really is flu like symptoms.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Okay, but that suckers the most.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: This sucker is the most unlucky guy in the world,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: might be the most unhealthiest.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: He got hamstring, he got I don't know.
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: What, but Selry's explanation, if you take it at face value,
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: was he wasn't one hundred percent. And if he's not
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: one hundred percent and he's in there and they're building
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: things around him off defensively and he's not feeling well
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: and so he can't score, then they're not as good.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Getting to the point, were they better without him? Well,
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: obviously they were because they beat in Arizona and five
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: guys that were in double figures, So they were actually
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: better without.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Him in that they were not in that Texas Tech.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: They needed them against Texas Tech to hit two big
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: shots in the final eighty seconds to win that game.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, the guy's an unbelievable talent. Unbelievable talent. I
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: just think it's it's an ungodly weird situation. And I
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: give self credit, and I give those other players credit
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: for being able to tune all of that out. And
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: as they sit on February tenth, a top ten team nationally.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: That is hard to deal with what they're dealing with,
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: and they're figuring it out.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: It's impressive the significance of it. Have you ever seen
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Bill self as happy as he was after that game.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: I've seen him win national championships and he wasn't that
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: joyful or elated.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: I think he's biggest win in that building for him.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: How bout he made that claim? And you see right,
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: you saw him afterwards and he said, I don't do that,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: are you right? I don't do that, he said. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: was playing to the crowd that He said, that's as
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: good as this building's ever been. It got us this win.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: I wanted to show them and play to the crowd
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Who's stuck around in state. He said,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: that's the best win I've had in this building.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: And now let me add to this. Now, this might
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: prove to be incorrect, which might be the first thing
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I ever say that's wrong. But I'm also wondering if
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: he also probably has made a decision about his future
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: going forward. Good point, and that I got number one
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: a little got number one on my home floor in
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: my last year. Everyone will remember that. I'm just guessing
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: that about the NBA's number on the NBA Like, Hey,
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: this will be one of those cherished memories that I'll
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: always have and I want to enjoy it for tonight.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: That wouldn't stun me either.
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: And also if if, if things are really weird with
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: him and Peterson, that he can go and go, he
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: can go to him and go. You know what, we
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: just beat the number one team in the country. And
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: when Streak and you went on the court, yeh see
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: it practice.
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a it's it's a crazy story, crazy story.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: You know. When we get to Kansas City, I'm going
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: to be posting up so many Kansas people asking, God,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: give me the scoop, what the hell's going on with
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna ask fifty two Kansas people. You've
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: got to tell me exactly how's this working here? Now,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: your guy was involved, gud that you worked with a right,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Let's move on.
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: That's plenty of Kansas discussion here. It's in the Kansas podcast.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: But one of the guys that's on their staff is
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: getting words from an agent during the game. He goes
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: out on the floor. It's just that speculation. You don't know,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: you could be I mean, you could be centrally involved
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: in this. Are you ready to do your job?
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: Let's go.
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: All right, it's time for hoppies obvious observations doing.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: He's got thoughts that sound brand new, but the things
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: we already knew.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: He got his bomb ready, heaven knows.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Let's take it quick before his livation.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, man from deep in Brandonton, Florida.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Fire away, Okay, real quick. Cincinnata great went on the road, obviously,
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: and against a tough defensive team you'd already beaten once
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: and West Virginia found itself. I mean, you come back
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: from fourteen down with sixteen minutes to play, and you
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: come back and win that game. DJ Thomas just clutched
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: down the stretch couple when they were focusing on her
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: on honor a couple of threes. Coach Hodge says after
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: the game. It takes what it takes, you know, Brad,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: I think that game was an accurate reflection of what
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: this team gives you. That is intensity for the forty
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: minutes for the most part. And also I would I
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: think the biggest one of the years Kansas at home.
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: This is one a to me to win on the
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: road against the team that's had some big wins at home.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: Your thoughts.
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a tremendous win, and I thought
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it showed what this team's personality has been all year.
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: They simply don't get They don't get flustered, guys. I mean,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: they just stay in it, whether they're down fourteen, whether
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: they're winning. At the point, it is the same. If
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: you look in that huddle, it's the same expression the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: entire time, and I thought that was on display. They
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: didn't panic down fourteen. They just kept coming and coming
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: and coming and eventually got to the point where they
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: pulled off that win. I thought it was a massive
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: road win.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely. I think as the season goes on, you'll
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: look back at that and keep in mind the next
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: game they took UCF and absolutely would shed at them right,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: beat them, lined up, beat them twenty. They were eleven
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: and two at home before the West Virginia game, which
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: included a win over Iowa State. So like when they're
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: home number two Iowa State. Yeah, they're formidable, There's no
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: question about that.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: Now back to OUs observations.
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: Let's go to Texas Tech. And I've told you guys
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: this the last time I gambled in Las Vegas was
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: years and years ago, and I played back Blackjack and
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: I lost. I lost. I lost, And at the end
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: the dealer said, you played the right way, and that
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: meant some like you played correctly, you lost, And that
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: made me think about what Graham McCaslin said after or
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: the Texas Tech game where he said, quote Tony, he
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: said they West Virginia, they play every possession the right way.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: That to me was very insightful. Look, you can play
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: every possession the right way and still lose the game
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: because you don't make shots. Of the other team is better,
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: but the fact that you played the right way was
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: impressive and kept you in the game when you at
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: a time when you didn't did not make shots. And
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: it was at thirty nine to six three pointers. So
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: West Virginia kept fighting in that game and even as
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: bad as it was, called its way back got it
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: somewhat close at the end. Honor Huff struggled, but coach
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: Hodge said after the game Tony that Jalen Petty. Hodge said,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: Jalen Petty is one of the few people in this
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: league that could guard Honor Huff like that.
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: He was really super impressive athletic fast could stay in
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: front of stay in front of honor.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Okay, so we're not talking about UCF.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Sure, well we're gonna do that later this week. All right,
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: you can do it whatever you have on your little shiet.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're not guys, the guys in the RV park.
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: He's got to go walk a dog. That's about his
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: big back.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I just wanted to have some stuff. He's going to
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: be at the Pirates thing all week. You won't have
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: anything Thursday when he joins. Now he'll come beast trying
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: to help it. Now he'll bring his stuff from the ballpark.
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, well then I'll save the UCF stuff.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: We want what you have on your sheet. You did work,
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: you did well.
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: It's obvious. It's obvious. I mean they won their last
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: two games at home, including the upset winver Texas Tech
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: eighty eight to eighty three point win over Arizona State.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: Now you got to go play them at home, and
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: they're you know, Brand and Ken Palm there forty ninth
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: and Ken Palm, and they are as you guys have said,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: they're the surprise of the league. You got road wins
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: over Arizona State, in Cincinnati. Can you get this one
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: which might was probably going to be may well be
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: the toughest of those three. And Brad, I don't know,
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: you'll talk more about this later this week, but they
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: averaged it average ay two points a game. And defensively,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: you're holding teams to sixty four? So what do you
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: do there? I mean, are they they're going to score
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: eighty four? You got a problem, but can you hold
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: down their offense? And I'll leave it to you. You
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: can give us an get today, but you'll give us
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: more later this week. We got a nugget.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Well later, all right?
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: WU women win number twenty yep, and ain't bad eighty
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: seven sixty year over Arizona Hope Coliseum. A manager said,
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: what five players in double figures?
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: Senator?
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Senator and I were there. We took that one in nice,
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: yeah crowd.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: So West Virginia is still in that upper echelon, still
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: vying for the league league title. And in the court beat,
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: you know, we got to do the court beat all
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: the time. I mean, that's important in college sports these days.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: So the Alabama and Alabama judge rules that Charles Bettiacos,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: how do you say, Bettiaco Bettioco not eligible to play
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: because he spent three years in the G League and
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: ruled not eligible to play. But what stood out to
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: me was that Charlie Baker had a NCAA said quote,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: while we're glad the court upheld the rules, our members
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: actually want. Our members actually want that was the rule,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: and they wanted. One win doesn't fix the national mess
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: of state LAWSS. It's time for Congress to stop watching
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: from the sidelines, help us provide some actual stability. I
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: would suggest to one thing on this is that I
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: think the last thing you want is for Congress to
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: try to figure it out. All due respect to the
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: United States Congress and brand I know that you think
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: this is impossible, but at some point the leaders should
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: come together and say, do we really want the Congress involved,
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: or or do we just want judges every week making
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: different decisions and there be chaos from that, or do
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: we want to get together as a unit and figure
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: something else before somebody dictates to you what those rules
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: are your thoughts.
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: There is zero indication at this point that any of
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the leaders in college sports want to follow the rules
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: that are being set. So until you can speculate, all
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: you want you can say who should be in, who
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: should be not. Until the schools collectively decide they want
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: to follow their own rules, then you're going to continue
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: down this path. I mean, I think that part's pretty simple.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: There were rules put in place, right, there were guardrails.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: How much we haven't said guardrails in thirty years, and
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: then we set it four billion times over a couple months,
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: and said guardrails were put in place with the salarycap
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: and immediately schools tried to go around the salarycap. So
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: until leaders on campuses decide they're going to follow along,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: and that needs to be everybody buying in because if
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: you've got what you have now, where there's some trying
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: to follow the rules and others just openly going against
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: those rules, you're going to end up in the spot
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: and where you are so hop out don't know that
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: it much matters if it's Congress or whomever that tries
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: to set it in place, until internally you decide that
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: following rules matters again, then we're going.
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: To live like this.
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: I think it's as simple as that. And guys, I've
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: talked about this for years. There was a time switch
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: when it used to be when somebody internal broke a rule. Internally,
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: they were held accountable for that. And then it switched
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: and you started seeing it in the southern district. When
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: that thing came up, Suddenly athletic directors of schools that
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: were being called in front there were saying, no, no, we
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: didn't do that. Our guy didn't do that. Nah, well
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: we hear him on tape. We've got no No, I
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: went to him, he.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: Didn't do that.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: So when schools decided to go in a different direction
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: and not police themselves, you're going to end up in
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: the situation that we are. It's as simple as that.
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: I think, yeah, yeah, you know, Brad, you're right. I
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: just think at some point, and maybe I'm too optimistic,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: that you would have some of the bigger schools, more
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: influential schools might say, wait a minute. You know this
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: judge just ruled against us, and in the next county
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: over another judge ruled a different way. So and you're
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: going to have that. That's the way it's going to be
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: until it isn't.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: And instead, in reality, that's great hop is a theory.
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: In reality, what just happened is Alabama tried to go
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: around a rule and take a guy, take a guy
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: that had played in college, and that was really the
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: differentiator here. He had already been in college and then
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: went G league. So that's what the NCAA is trying
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: to hang its hat under the court did so to speak,
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: But Alabama went around that put a player in, played
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: him while they didn't have a ruling. And what do
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: you do now? If you're Tennessee and Auburn that have
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: lost to Alabama with that kid playing, wouldn't you be
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: out of your minds? Sure, wouldn't you be so pissed
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: off at that? But so yeah, I mean, just use
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: the example. Alabama is in the conference that makes the
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: most money and thinks it should make all the rules,
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: and it didn't try and follow any rules. It tried
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: to find a loophole around a rule. That's Alabama and
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: their claims. So who else are we talking about here
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: that's going to make the rules hop Who's going to
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: stand up and be a leader because it wasn't Alabama basketball,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you that.
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: And their claim is, Hey, this thing is so upside
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: down right now. We're trying to get clarification as to
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: exactly what is being intended here because of the way
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: you're allowing professional athletes to play, you're denying American guys
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: over here, la la la. So they're throwing them out
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: there as if there being a martyr. We just wanting
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: to fix this system out there. But it's absolutely embarrassing,
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: and I've said it so many different times, it's absolutely
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: embarrassing the mess the college administrators, presidents, chancellors, everyone involved
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: have put themselves into. They're a laughing stock for what
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: this thing is operating like, because all they do are
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: create rules and then find ways to cheat the rules
• 21:26
  Speaker 1: that they agree to. And it's an absolute case study
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: of embarrassment, really is.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: And finally, on this date, on this date, congratulations to
• 21:38

• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Got a call on Friday from Dave Goren, who runs
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: that organization, and he said, I got news for you
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: and never even crossed my mind. So the interesting thing
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: about it is when I was a student at Syracuse,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: North Carolina played Syracuse at the Dome and as a
• 23:02
  Speaker 1: student reporter, I interviewed what do he Durham and I
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: walked away from that interview and I said, man, that's
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: how it's supposed to be the way that he was
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: the way he handled himself, how nice he was. And
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: I always told his son, Wes, who's become a great announcer,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I always told that story about him. I met your
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: dad when I was a student at Syracuse and that
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: lasted for me for for the way. That's the way
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: you were supposed to do it. So incredibly humbling and
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: truly appreciate it and happy. I said this many times.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you.
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: I hired you, big deal. You did the rest, but
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: you know, I just want.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: You did the rest that.
• 23:43
  Speaker 3: He did the rest. And Brad, you can wait on
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: this because you're running a lot on these basketball broadcasts.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: Is that you talked about what he dur him and
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: the way you treat people. You treat people with respect.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: You're friendly to people. People come up to you all
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: the time, and you are gracious and you're humble and
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: that means a lot. That means a lot, and how
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: you treat other people. And that's I think a big
• 24:05
  Speaker 3: part of it too, so well deserved.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: That's that's Mom and Dad through the through the year.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: So I appreciate that. All right, moving on to further action,

• 24:42
  Speaker 2: so he came down here to Morgantown to use that.

• 28:46
  Speaker 1: will be a memorable game for a couple of different reasons.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: And I'll let you rip it, but I just think
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: it was a statistical aberration game, meaning that so many
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: of the numbers that you look at post game normally
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: equate one thing, but then at the same time you
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: saw some numbers from the Texas Tech standpoint in regard
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: to shooting that just make you go like wow, ouch.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we can make this really simple. And I do
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: want to go back and hit some Cincinnati stuff too
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: in this because I don't want to gloss over that
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: it was such an important win for this team. But
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: we'll start with Texas Tech and work our way back,
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: and we could start and end this segment with this number.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: The fact that you were minus thirty three points from
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: the three point line is ballgame. I mean, it's a
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: ballgame right there. There were a million things in that
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: game that we could talk about and get down in
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: the weeds. I thought, West Virginia again, I walk out
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: of there the result, notwithstanding obviously you don't want to lose.
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: I walk out of there offensively, and West Virginia did
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: some really good things. And I said it to you
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: on Sunday. I'm hopeful they can pick some of those
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: up and move them forward, because that offense was really clicking.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: You just ran into a math problem. They were making threes,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: you were not. So you were doing you were elite
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: inside the arc the way you're running offense. I'll get
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: to some of the shooting percentage numbers and how you
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: did that. You were elite. But they're making threes, you're
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: making twos. You're not going to get there, right, And
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: that's what happened minus thirty three points. Quite frankly, we
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: said it multiple times, that should have been a twenty
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: five point loss. There is no reason you should have
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: been in that game other than you played so well
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: in all those other areas. They just had a great
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: shooting night.
• 30:17
  Speaker 1: You did not.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: So we'll get into some of those numbers behind those
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: categories as well. Here's something that really jumped out to me.
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: Only ten times since nineteen ninety seven, okay, ten times.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: It is not so thirty years, as far as thirty years.
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: As far as I could go back on kempom, it
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: might be longer than this, but I couldn't. I couldn't
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: get back any further. That's only the tenth time an opponent, maye,
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Only seven times has an opponent made ten
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: or fewer two point field goals against West Virginian won
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: the game seven times in thirty years. That's old and
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: that's what Texas Tech did. They had ten two point baskets.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: That's how much West Virginia was closing off the lane,
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: and this team was just blistering hot from three, particularly
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: in the first half. They did come back to earth
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: in the second, but by then they were out in front,
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: and they made just enough in the second half to
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: take you home and get the win. West Virginia shot
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: almost seventy percent from two. They had the most two
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: point field goals this season, the second best shooting percentage
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: from two point.
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: You have to go back.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: I'm jumping around here just throwing numbers at you, but
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: you have to go back to twenty twelve to find
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: a lower three point shooting percentage by this team. You
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: have to go back to two thousand and eight to
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: find one that was that low at home, and you
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: have to go back to the game when Hugs wore
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: the gold suit against Cincinnati, remember.
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: That one first half.
• 31:43
  Speaker 2: So that's the that's the lower the only time it's
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: been lower in the last howe many years that's been
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: what's twenty eighteen years, that was the only time it
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: was a lower shooting percentage from three. So just couldn't
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: get those to fall. Here's something that jumped out to me.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: On the three, Texas Tech tied a season high for
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: points off catch and shoot jump shots. So to our point,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: you closed the lane off, You did your job there.
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: You held top and in check for the first half.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that here in just a minute. But
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: they had thirty nine points off jump shots catch and
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: shoot jump shots. Thirty six of those points came from
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: guarded shots, three from unguarded nineteen of their catch and
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: shoot Nineteen of their twenty catch and shoot shots were
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: classified as garden They had to day had to day
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech's pick and roll let's talk about that for
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: a second. One of the areas I thought you did
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: a really good job. They did have double digit points
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: from the ball handler, and they run a ton of
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: pick and roll. West Virginia has been very good in
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: that area against the ball handler, and they were in
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: that game. They got eleven of those, but you were
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: trying to close off top and you he got going late.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: He's hard to stop for an entire game, there's no question.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: But if you look at how difficult you made on
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: him when he finished eight of seventeen from the floor,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: is that what he was so overall? If you told
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: me coming in that toppin would be eight of seventeen
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: and you'd hold Christian Anderson to thirteen, I'd say you'd
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: walk out of there with a win.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Yet you did not.
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: I thought atwell, was a big difference in the first
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: half with his three or four threes there. He was
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: really really good in that area. Uh, there's more, but that,
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's kind of the extent of it. Again,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: it goes back to the shooting. West Virginia was in
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: position on some of those. On most of those as,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: it was classified by synergy with those catch and shoots.
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: But for the most part, they just ended up making
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: more shots than you did. That's the bottom line.
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: To your point. Statistically, if you take a look at
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: those numbers, it should not have been where it was
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: score wise, right, that thing could have been twenty points
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: should have been so. But at the same time, and
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: it's walked me through this now West Virginia's half court offense.
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: Now follow me. West Virginia's half court offense in the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: second half, understanding that they're not making threes, but its
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: half court offense was to me, one of the most
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: efficient of the entire season. They were running good stuff,
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: great stuff, they were getting great shots. So from that,
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: if there's a if you can continue and if that's
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: one of the things that you take from that game,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: that your offense is going to start being efficient like
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: that and running that type of stuff, then you get
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: you get very, very excited about the remaining games. If
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: you can operate like that, because you are going to
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: hit three three point shots going forward, and if you
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: can have that mix, then you'll get that offense really humming.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: One point one points per possession in the second half,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: and I've said this many times, if you're one point
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: one that'll lead the country this year in points per possession.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: You were ultra efficient. You were seventeen of twenty two
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: on layups and dunks in that game. I mean it
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: was it was working in the the exploitation of specific
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: matchups offensively in the half court. The job that Ross
• 34:57
  Speaker 2: did identifying the couple of matchups that you want on
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: it and attacking those were tremendous. I mean, you've got
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: a ton of easy baskets, Tony. That's seriously. If they
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: miss one or two more threes and you make one
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: or two more, mix in a couple of made free throws.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: You know which rust Rain is terrible at the line
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: again on Saturday. But if you just mix in a
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: couple of three pointers, I think we're having a different conversation.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: So I'm with you. The result is not where you wanted.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: That was a what I would classify as a winnable
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: game on your home court, and you weren't able to
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: get it home. If you can pick some of that
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: stuff up, if you have found something offensively there with
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: some other guys, when because teams are going to try
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: and take honor away, my guess is looking at the
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: numbers and watching them a little bit. You'll have some
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: open looks against UCF from three, But if you can
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: continue to operate in the half court, find the matchups
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: you want to exploit and get somewhere close to what
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: you did against Tech, now you're starting to roll a
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: little bit offensively.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. We'll talk more about it later in the week
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: when we do the UCF preview. But obviously you've got
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: two mountaineers who are coming home in Jasper Floyd and
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: Brennan Laurient, so that also I might give him a
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: little bit of an extra incentive. All right, Cincinnata, what
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: was your takeaway from there? As we do this a
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: non chronological order.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I just walked back saying what a gutty win
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: that was to be down like they were and be
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: able to battle back in and it was again a
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: tail of two halves. You talk about a game that
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: should have been different. You and I talked about this
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: on the air. I thought going into halftime, I actually
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: felt decent about where West Virginia was. I said Cincinnati
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: was the one that should be playing with pressure on it.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: West Virginia had turned it over nine times, Honor and
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: Tray had not scored a bucket in the first half,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: and yet there you were just down ten as they
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: scored right at the end of the first half. The
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: second half totally flipped around. So in the first half
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: you had nine turnovers, you were minus six points off turnovers.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: That completely flipped in the second half. You went to
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: a plus nine points off turnovers because you only committed
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: three of them. So I thought the switch there was tremendous.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: West Virginia did a great job of adjusting defensively in
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: the first half. Cincinnati, I thought, did a nice job
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: of not just settling for threes. We went into that
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: game telling you Cincinnati is one of the top eighty
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: teams in America in terms of three point attempts. They
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: love to take threes, but they're one of the worst
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: shooting three point teams, bottom forty in terms of percentage.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: When the first half they were going at you, they
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: were getting to the mid range. Gigsel James was really
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: good ten points in the first four and a half minutes.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: But then in the second half you started closing that lane,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: they started settling for threes and they became what they were.
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: They started missing a lot of shots. Harlan was really
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: good dominating that paint and you closed that lane off.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Gigsel James ends up struggling on the night, seven of
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: sixteen from the floor, just three of ten from two
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: after he got going early. So the second half was
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: a totally different game than the first game. I thought
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: you did an excellent job West Virginia of hanging around
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: and keeping it close until Honor could put the Superman
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: cape on and take off. And when he went nuts
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: with that consecutive run of twelve straight points, that was
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: where it started to switch for you. Credit dj DJ
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: in that game for missing a couple shots early and
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: not hesitating when the moment came back to him. That
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: corner three was massive. The one from the top of
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: the key was huge. You don't win without him draining
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: those shots, and that was part of the plan. You
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: thought you were going to be able to get him
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: open around the three point line with there. You thought
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: it was going to be both bigs.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: It wasn't.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: It ended up being just Bob a Miller because of
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: injuries to Chalm, but you would have a mismatch there
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: and be able to get some open shots.
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati was spending so much energy trying to guard honor
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: and face guarding him at times, it was creating space
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: for other guys and they started to take advantage of it.
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: That continued against Tech. So if you're looking for a
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: trend that started against Cincinnati carried over against Tech, that
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: has to keep moving the rest of the way, it
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: is that other guys are going to have to take shots,
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: and they did against Cincinnati and against Texas Tech. Emir
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: was outstanding as well. Ross mentioned it to us on
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: our postgame radio show. Two points to assists, three steals
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: or three rebounds two steals in twenty one minutes of action.
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: That game got wild there for a couple possessions, and
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: I thought it was important that he was on the floor.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: He adapted that, didn't have any trouble playing up tempo
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: like that and got a couple baskets and assists that
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: mattered to you.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: His ball pressure on defense was massive. I went back
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: and watched it, and you're right, you'll never see that
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: on a stat sheet, but if you go back by
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: chance and watch that, his ball pressure on both day
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: Dave Thomas and Gisel James really made them uncomfortable, did
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: not let them get in any kind of a flow.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Point of attack defense, as Ross called it, and that's
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: one of the big advantages West Virginia has right now.
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: And Jasper showed it again against Christian Anderson. He continues
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: to be one of the best on ball defenders in
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: this league. And then you mix a mirror coming in,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: so when Jasper needs a break, you bring in another
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: guy that is outstanding with ball pressure. That's what's helped
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: West Virginia against these back courts. Eleven here's a stat
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: for you. Eleven minutes and nine seconds of playing time
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: together in the game for DJ and Emir against Cincinnati,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: eleven h nine together they were plus eight West Virginia's
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: plus eight points in that stretch. But how about this
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: number when they were on the floor together in the
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: second half. Plus thirteen points just in the second half.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: So the two young guys made a huge difference in
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: that all.
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: Right, WV women, as we mentioned on Saturday, rolled over
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: Arizona by a score of eighty seven to sixty eight,
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: and quietly, quietly, quietly, West Virginia has now put itself
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: in second place in the Big Twelve standings. They're a
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: half game back from first place Baylor, who they have
• 40:32
  Speaker 1: a win over, and for the remainder of this season,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: West Virginia has a game at TCU, currently in fourth place.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: TCU beat West Virginia here on a buzzer beater beater,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: and then Oklahoma State, who currently is in fifth place,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: they come to Hope Coliseum. So there is opportunity here
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: for Mark Kellogg in his third season to win a
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: regular season championship in the Big Twin, which would just
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: be an incredible accomplishment considering the number one, he's only
• 41:06
  Speaker 1: been on the job for three years and number two,
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: he is playing this year without JJ Quinnerley, who is
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: now in the WNBA, So a huge loss there, So
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: keep it going. They've got UCF in here tomorrow night.
• 41:21
  Speaker 1: UCF is struggling, they got a ton of injuries. They're
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: currently at ten and thirteen overall in two and ten
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: in the league. And that's a great, great story in
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: West Virginia currently is rated number nineteen in the nation.
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: And we'll keep an eye on that.
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: Saw this stat come out from a Rachel Gallagan that's
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: a women's basketball anna analyst.
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: Did you see this did not?
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: It's pretty good. Jordan Harrison's recorded at least five steals
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: and fourteen points in four straight games, five steals, fourteen
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: in four straight games, longest streak by any Big twelve
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Conference player this century.
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: Against Arizona, she had five assists, zero turnovers. How about
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: this number like eight steals? Yeah, that game, And how
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: about this one. West Virginia did not score in the
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: final three minutes and fifteen seconds against Arizona. Wildcats won
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: on a eleven oh run in the last two and
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: a half minutes. And West Virginia is still won by
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: nineteen points. So that thing was like borderline thirty plus
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: points that you're going to win by. So if you
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: get an opportunity by chance tomorrow Wednesday night, West Virginia
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: and UCF and this season is quickly quickly moving down
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: the road. Three guys before the game is brought to
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: us by Comac's Business Systems. Is a time for you
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: and your business to get a new phone system. Incredible,
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: the most high tech models that are available now. The
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: efficiency of phone systems nowadays compared to perhaps the one
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: that you're using right now is a night and day different.
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: So if you have the need and you have the
• 42:51

  Speaker 1: is available at participating Tutor's Biscuit locations. Participating Tutor's Biscuit location,
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: So you might want to walk in and ask you
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: guys doing this five dollars deal the summer special, and
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: I'm sure the majority of them are. But check that out.
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: Here we go Textual Healing. Can someone since Brad's the
• 49:24
  Speaker 1: only one here, can someone Brad explain Coach Hodge's philosophy
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: on offense? Yeah? Like, what part of it? I just
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: think I thought you made a good point the other
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: night I was hearing you. You saw Texas text offense
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: on Sunday. Right, Obviously, Grandma Chasm and Ross Hodge have
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: worked together for a lot of years. That in essence
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: is what you'll see.
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: Well, so okay, so just overall, yes, it's a couple
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: of things. And right now it's predicated on possessions per
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: game and limiting those. Give me some numbers on that
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: here in just a second. That's why there's the milking
• 50:05
  Speaker 2: of the shot clock and getting it down.
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: Now, if you.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Get a good shot or a great shot, or a
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: wide open shot earlier in the clock, take it. As
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: you saw with West Virginia lay Theirs. They were running
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: those direct attacks on Texas Tech inside guys with Brendan Laurent.
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: Those were coming fast in the shot clock. You absolutely
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: take those. Other than that, what you're trying to do
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: is limit the other team's possessions and trying to suppress
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: that score to keep the game in line. And it
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: really follows the Houston Cougar model. That's how they've risen
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: to national prominence under Calvin Sampson is being a team
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: that keeps possessions down plays really elite defense. The theory
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: being you stay in more games that way, then be
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: efficient on the offensive. End, and that's your chance to win.
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: And we talk about this a lot at West Virginia.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: The need to be different than what others are doing. Right,
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: We've seen that with Rich, We saw it with Bline
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: and the Heyday do something different, saying with Rich now,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: quite frankly, there aren't a lot of teams that run
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: the fast tempo that Rich is doing. He feels that
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: creates an advantage. So he's doing something different than most
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: teams are doing. That's Ross's take. On the other side,
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: limit possessions, be efficient when you can offensively And I
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: get it, I know, and Ross will say this, it
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: looks ugly when you miss the shots, when you're holding
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: the ball and waiting till the end of the clock
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: and then the shot doesn't go in. I get that.
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: It looks ugly.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: But the other thing that it does it helps exploit
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: the matchups. And I thought Texas Tech showed it, and
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: we showed it to great success on Saturday. You find
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: the specific matchups you want to go after, and then
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: you go take it. So like when Jasper or Blow
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: is backing that down and you're spacing the floor around them,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: you're forcing the decision for the defense to tip its end.
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: What are you going to do or are you going to
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: stay one on one? And if you are, then we're
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: going to finish the basket. How many times did Jasper
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: take his guy in the lane and finish or drop
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: it off to an assist and a dunk by Law
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: or in her Harlan was working to perfection in the
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: second half. So you're limiting the possession and you're scoring
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: the basket. If you want to drop and double down
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: and I'll get to the Cincinnati game in a minute
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: where that started happening, then that creates an advantage for
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: you when you pass the ball out. So it's predicated
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: upon suppressing possessions for the other team and identifying specific
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: matchups that you want to attack. And I thought West
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Virginia has done that game after game after game repeatedly,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: really really well in attacking specific guys.
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'd also add to that, as you get
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: players offensively that are more skilled, and you know, you
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: want to use Houston as the example. You see what
• 52:38
  Speaker 1: they're doing this year with more offensive productivity with Kingston
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: Flemings and that group. It doesn't mean that West Virginia
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: going forward is going to be in sixty five sixty games.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: Going forward, as the offensive production increases, you'll see that score.
• 52:58
  Speaker 1: Why because they're going to start making more shocked.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: But it also might not. I mean, you might play
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: in a low possession game. I'll give you some numbers here.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: If you look across the Big twelve, and Ren talked
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: about this when he was making the higher it you've
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: got to be a defensive base team to win this league.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: The numbers have proven that out. I won't go through
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: all of them now, but if you look at the
• 53:16
  Speaker 2: current standings as we sit today, the five I'm going
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: to air quote this fastest tempos because it's really just
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: about more possessions per game. That's what we're talking about.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: The five fastest tempos in this league. Four of those
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: five have fewer wins than West Virginia does in league play.
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: The one that doesn't is Arizona, which is as elite
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: offensively as you can get with multiple skilled guys. That's
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: part of it. Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and Kansas State
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: in particular goes as fascinating by the country, and they're
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: really struggling to win games. So it's Oklahoma State, Kansas State,
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: BYU and Arizona state that have more possessions per game,
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: are faster tempo, but have less wins. In West Virginia,
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: let's look at Houston for a second. Houston is three
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty eighth nationally in possessions per game sixty
• 53:59
  Speaker 2: two point eight. There's only three hundred and sixty seven teams.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: That's one of the fewest possessions per game in the country.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: West Virginia's just below that, three sixty one at sixty
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: two point two. So that's the model you're looking at there.
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: So Houston's got some elite offensive talent, but they haven't
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: changed how they play. In fact, Tony who was looking
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: back today at their previous five or six years, they
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: have gotten air quotes slower over the last few years.
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: And guess what they've done. They've gotten better. So they've
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: added a couple of elite offensive pieces, which has increased
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: their efficiency, but they've actually slowed the game down with
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: their great defenders and said we're going to squeeze you.
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: We're going to score more efficiently on the offensive end,
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: and that's led to their rise to these final fours.
• 54:42
  Speaker 2: In play in the National Championship Game. I'll say one
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: last thing. I think it's also as you're trying to
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: build your program up, and we saw this when West
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: Virginia went with the three to three to five defense.
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: Why was that done One of the main theories because
• 54:55
  Speaker 2: it was easier to find body types and players that
• 54:58
  Speaker 2: could play the linebacker, safety side, defensive backfield rather than
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: the big guys you need up front to make a
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: big difference. I think it's similar when it comes to basketball.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: Hugs took this approach a lot. It's easier to go
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: find more guys that are willing to play hard on
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: the defensive end and get after it effort wise than
• 55:15
  Speaker 2: it is to go find all of the elite offensive
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: talent like an Arizona puts together. That's hard to find
• 55:21
  Speaker 2: all those guys. You can find guys that can guard
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: because a lot of that's just in here and want
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: to And that's part of what Houston's decided to do.
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: Go get really elite defensive players, sprinkling some really talented
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: offensive guys, limit possessions, guard the heck out of you
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: that travels, and then be efficient on the offensive end.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: That do it, I would serve you.
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: I think that was a pretty good Yeah. I think
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: it was quite quite comprehensive. Hey, three guys, gritty effort.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: What's your thoughts on starting the game and oppress to
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: get them more involved, maybe get some more fast break layups,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: gain some confidence. Starting games has been rough. No question
• 55:56
  Speaker 1: that the starts have got to get better. You cannot
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: dig yourself holes. I don't know if necessarily it's a
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: possibility they could go in there and try to press.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: But I don't necessarily think he thinks he needs to press.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: But based upon the way he slammed his hand down
• 56:11
  Speaker 1: on the scorers table at the start of the game
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: the other day, I think he would like them to
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: defend the way that they go through it in practice,
• 56:19
  Speaker 1: and when a ball is on the floor, secure the ball.
• 56:23
  Speaker 2: I think that was the handslap the other day. Balls
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: that are loose Ross's philosophy as those should be one
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: hundred percent West Virginia's balls. I know that's unrealistic, but
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: it should be one hundred percent. It shouldn't be seven
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: to two the other way. So that's what gets you up.
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: And no, he doesn't think he needs to press. The
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: press comes into play either at the end when you
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: are trying to get a steal. If you're behind, or
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: just simply trying to slow the team down to work clock.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: He feels you can guard well enough in the half court,
• 56:48
  Speaker 2: which West Virginia has done in most games this season,
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: that you don't have to press the whole time.
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: Kurt in Dayton, Ohio, originally from Charleston. I got to
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: enjoy the Cincinnati game with my dad and my son.
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: A first Mountaineer experience for the little guy and only
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: a three hour trek from my dad for my dad
• 57:06
  Speaker 1: in Charleston. A couple of things. Boy, would it be
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: a rough time to be a UC fan. Lots of
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: red and blacks shaking their heads on the way out. Second,
• 57:15
  Speaker 1: we got to figure out these slow starts getting open
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: looks for the most part, nothing falling. Great to see
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: Honor facilitating for a while before his offensive fireworks. Finally,
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I love listening to you guys. Even the ad reads
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: give me a taste of home, wherever I may be.

  Speaker 1: Keep up the good work. There they are, picture of them.

• 57:44
  Speaker 1: and Bradley the Greek. This is pretty wild. I did
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: a little research on Kurt Signetti. Between his playing career
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: at West Virginia two coaching stints at Pitt, He's been
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: involved in twelve count them, twelve back yard brawls. He
• 58:01
  Speaker 1: was oh and four as a player and two is
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: a pit ga. One in five is Pitt's quarterback tight
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: ends coach overall record won and eleven with his only
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: backyard brawl victory in ninety seven in the three overtime
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: game in Morgantown's final score forty one thirty eight. Signed
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: by Dave from Colfax by the way of Greenville, South Carolina.
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: Good work day, Hey, three guys tutors in Bridgeport and
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: the Gomart stop in for a fly rod Slim Jim,
• 58:33
  Speaker 1: look at this, get yourself a heart shaped biscuit for
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: Valentine's Day. So at the one there in Bridgeport, they're
• 58:40
  Speaker 1: going to have heart shaped biscuits coming up on Valentine's Day,
• 58:43
  Speaker 1: which is this weekend. Excellent, that's kind of Nat. Why
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: wouldn't you do that? Yeah, So it's a catthead Valentine thing. Texter,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: longtime listener, first time texter first text. Ever, Tony's comments
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: about walking a cat on a leash unlocked the memory
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: for me. A few years ago, my girlfriend and I
• 59:03
  Speaker 1: tried taking out our indoor cat, Clover outside on a leash.
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: Things were going great till a car drove by Clover
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: absolutely lost it, slipped, the leash took off. What followed
• 59:19
  Speaker 1: was a ten minute chase around our apartment complex next
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: to a busy road, ending with me having to climb
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: over a neighbor's balcony, rallying and tackle my own cat.
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: Safe to say, Clover has permanently lost leash privileges. Yeah,
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: I can understand how that was not the.
• 59:35
  Speaker 2: Cat right there?
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yep, you know there.
• 59:38
  Speaker 2: They're sneaky little things.
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, tricky. Absolutely. How about this one, Cindy from Bealington.
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: I don't walk my cat on a leash, but I
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: do take her with me on walks in a stroller.
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: There go, there you go, bread takes a cat and
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: a stroller.
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: Don't see that very often, Texter, Who did that, Cindy?
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: That would be Cindy from Belington.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: What's the cat and the stroller?
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Barber County out there near Josh Jeger Territory the Billington Bomber.
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: He was Texter through all of the injuries and trade
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: diversity of the Memphis Grizzlies this season. Javon Small playing
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: extremely well controlled with his play, scored twenty two the
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 1: other night in twenty seven minutes. Player of the game
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: for his offense and his defense. I thought you'd like
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: to know he.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: Was really good. It was all on display too, his
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 2: ability to absorb contact and finish he got in a lane.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: He was outstanding the other night coming back off injury.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: Had a little ding there. Yeah, he's back. I watched
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: his highlights from his performance the other night. It is
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: something Texter needs, some sort of metric on teams that
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: double on the high ball screen. Seems all the top
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: defensive teams we played double or at least hedge where
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 2: we go under or switch. Why do we not implement
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 2: this philosophy defensively? Yeah, we do occasionally, But I think
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: here's here's the ultimate answer for that. And Houston does
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: it a lot, Iowa State does it a lot. Kansas
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: did it some and then had to get out of
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 2: it because we were eating them up. But did you
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 2: see Tugler the other night from Houston Jojo, did you
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 2: see this play? He hard hedges out top and they
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: were close to half court. They Houston had them really
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: pushed out close to half court. The ball handler picks
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: the ball up and Tugler starts to drop step and go.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: They enter the ball into the post. The guy at
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: the rim, the big guy at the rim, catches it
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: kind of taking his time. Tuggler goes all the way
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: down the lane and blocks the shot. It was one
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 2: of the most unbelievable individual plays by a big I've seen.
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: So if you've got a big that's able to do that,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: the National Defensive Player of the Year, you hard hedge
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: a little bit. Here's what I think Ross would say
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: to you. You've got Jasper Floyd on ball, and again
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: I've mentioned this, one of the best on ball defenders
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: in the league, if not the country. And I've done
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: this a bunch of show's gone back over the last
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: six or seven point guards we've played and listed out
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: the tough nights each of them had shooting. So Jasper's
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: ability defensively to stay between the ball and the basket
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: is really really good. And that's why you're hard hedging, right.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 2: You don't want the guy to turn the corner on
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: you and get down the lane into the paint. West
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: Virginia is able to stop that penetration for the most
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: part with one guy over, and you don't have to
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: bring the second defender in a complete hard hedge, because,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: as Ross tells the guys a lot when they're getting
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: ready to face a hard edge, if you just have
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: composure and handle it up top and get by it now,
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: you create a real advantage for yourself on the offensive end.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: The defense gets in peril quickly. So for a staff
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: that wants to limit the scoring, they're going to play
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: conservative on that and not try and gamble for a steal.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 3: More.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: We've got a point guard we feel can stay in
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: front of your guy. You're not going to get to
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: the basket. We don't need to hard hedge and put
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: ourselves potentially in an unfair advantage defensively. So that would
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: be I think what the answer is.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: You would get and that would change the next season.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: You've got a shot blocker coming in next season. These
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: guys are raving about lluelle Au. Dim is what you're
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: talking about?
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, but it depends on Like if Amrror is here,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: he's also a really good on ball defender. So if
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: you've got wich you feel is a great on ball defender,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: you don't have to hard heads as much because that's
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: all you. The hedge is only there to prevent the
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: guy from turning the corner or sticking a three on
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: you if you go under the screen.
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 1: Texter pulled off the rear basketball away and home trip
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: over the last few days. Safe to say, TC and
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 1: the Senator will be seeing me every year in Cincinnati
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: moving forward. I'm undefeated. Watching West Virginia at fifth Third Arena.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I went to the women's game Saturday. There's a picture you,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: Brad watched the ladies host Arizona. Their coach, Becky Burke
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: two years at the University of Charleston several years back.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Left there, worked her way up to the power for
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: didn't get a chance to catch up. Gave her some
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: praise on social She made a nice comment a few
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: hours later. Here's a couple of picks there. Now there's
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Jennings guy in the middle. We often talk about out
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: the show. Rarely is he seen? That is John Antonick?
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: Is he shrinking? I looked at the picture, Jenning's towering
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: over him.
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: Andrew looks like he's seven to three in that picture.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 2: It might be angle that he's more forward, but.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: Now Andrew got Andrew's tall. I mean he's six'. Three
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 1: it's a good. POSTURE i Mean john is. Shrinking he's
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: not two and a half feet taller Than. John.
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: Though you're kind of Like hunter driving the truck that one.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: Time it's a weird angle. Situation so you're saying it's
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: more depth perception.
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 1: Than its actual. Height, yeah does look. CRAZY i Hope
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: john's not shrinking like. THAT i don't Think i'll look into.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: That so that is The we talk About, antonick the
