- 2:12Speaker 2: Can I tell you something absolutely made me think at
- 2:15Speaker 2: the very beginning because you attack brabit I am. I
- 2:20Speaker 2: can tell I know you so well, and I've listened
- 2:23Speaker 2: to about every broadcast this year, and you don't have
- 2:26Speaker 2: to say on the air how you're feeling. I can tell.
- 2:33Speaker 2: I can tell I can hear the frustration in your voice.
- 2:35Speaker 2: I can hear the exhilaration. I know exactly how you
- 2:38Speaker 2: not what not, not only what's going on. Obviously, I
- 2:41Speaker 2: can tell how you feel about what's going on just
- 2:44Speaker 2: by how you are announcing the game at that time.
- 2:48Speaker 1: Not the first person to say that, is that good
- 2:50Speaker 1: or bad?
- 2:51Speaker 2: It's good? It is, yeah, now, I mean because it
- 2:55Speaker 2: it is emotive without you saying, boy, I'm frustrated. Yeah,
- 3:00Speaker 2: you can hear it in the tone.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand that. You know, baseball announcers.
- 3:05Speaker 3: Isn't it probably reflective of when you're listening, you're feeling
- 3:08Speaker 3: the same type of emotions.
- 3:09Speaker 2: Often, yes, yes, Rarely is he.
- 3:12Speaker 3: Bummed out and frustrated and the listeners going, oh this
- 3:14Speaker 3: is great, things are going great.
- 3:16Speaker 2: It's that's true. It's just interesting to hear how that's going.
- 3:20Speaker 2: You know, Brad, you're you're a little bit more emotional.
- 3:24Speaker 1: Yeah, he is.
- 3:26Speaker 2: But that's good. It's a good combination.
- 3:27Speaker 1: You know, baseball announcers aren't like that. I think it's
- 3:29Speaker 1: because they do so many games, like Major League Baseball.
- 3:32Speaker 1: You turn on a game, it's the middle of the
- 3:33Speaker 1: fifth any idea, and until they give the score, you
- 3:36Speaker 1: really don't know.
- 3:37Speaker 3: Yeah, well it's March fifth. They've already played seventy two games,
- 3:41Speaker 3: so they got they.
- 3:41Speaker 1: Got to themselves. I mean, get too excited.
- 3:44Speaker 3: We only we only get a handful of opportunities. We
- 3:46Speaker 3: got to go sod.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Five to three in the seventh inning in April.
- 3:50Speaker 1: You know, you just exactly ground ball hit out the
- 3:52Speaker 1: third it throws it over it. You're up ten to one.
- 3:54Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. We're down ten to one, all right,
- 3:57Speaker 1: Uh coming up, We've got the obvious observation from Hoppy.
- 4:02Speaker 1: There's a few things there that we're going to get into.
- 4:05Speaker 1: And Bred's got spreads on stats. Tournament time. The Big
- 4:09Speaker 1: Twelve Conference women's tournament started on Wednesday. The seven week
- 4:15Speaker 1: tournament started on Wednesday. And I'll be honest with you.
- 4:20Speaker 1: I like the new glass floor. I actually I went
- 4:23Speaker 1: out of my way to go to ESPN Plus to
- 4:25Speaker 1: find the first games of the tournament because I wanted
- 4:27Speaker 1: to see the glass floor. I like the.
- 4:29Speaker 3: Glass of technology is amazing, crazy man.
- 4:33Speaker 1: So what they're doing is they're keeping the same floor
- 4:35Speaker 1: down when the game's being played, right though, that doesn't change,
- 4:40Speaker 1: but during timeouts they're going through all different They're going
- 4:45Speaker 1: through myriad forms of the composition of the floor. So
- 4:50Speaker 1: it's kind of like for those in the stands, you're
- 4:52Speaker 1: getting a little bit of a light show during the time.
- 4:56Speaker 3: Intro to that's really where they they're brought it. During interests.
- 4:59Speaker 2: Old man mad.
- 5:02Speaker 3: Was on the old wood floor with a nice key
- 5:04Speaker 3: in the lane there where you can play. I don't
- 5:06Speaker 3: like the new technology. Obviously men and young women have
- 5:09Speaker 3: to play on this floor. I don't like it.
- 5:11Speaker 1: Back in the day when James nathanis c craded this
- 5:14Speaker 1: game and they went to Bruce Hardwood's and Elkins to
- 5:16Speaker 1: get the first basketball floor.
- 5:19Speaker 3: Why they have rims with a hole. It should be
- 5:20Speaker 3: a peach basket up there.
- 5:21Speaker 1: You don't understand.
- 5:22Speaker 2: I'm just glad you're entertained every second of the event,
- 5:25Speaker 2: because god forbid you would have a second that you're
- 5:27Speaker 2: not somehow stimulating.
- 5:29Speaker 1: I just think it's neat and cool.
- 5:30Speaker 3: Why should we suppress cool technology just so you can
- 5:32Speaker 3: just sit there like it's nineteen sixty. Put something cool
- 5:35Speaker 3: out there. You got the technology, let's go.
- 5:37Speaker 1: And again, this is how many times have we said
- 5:39Speaker 1: that schools organizations that have games that are live, right,
- 5:46Speaker 1: What's the thing We've always said, they have to give
- 5:49Speaker 1: fans something more than they'll get if they're sitting at home.
- 5:52Speaker 1: You need to give people more of a reason to
- 5:55Speaker 1: go rather than sit home. And these are the little
- 5:58Speaker 1: things that like, hey, that was really wild file the
- 6:00Speaker 1: light thing that they don't they don't show starting lineups
- 6:02Speaker 1: on television, right, I mean these are the little things,
- 6:05Speaker 1: the sound, the look the field now nowadays, I mean
- 6:09Speaker 1: you got the Fourth of July fireworks before every team.
- 6:13Speaker 2: You have any idea how much heat.
- 6:14Speaker 1: Those things blow out? When they blow those flames up,
- 6:17Speaker 1: It's like you go, like, how the hell does that
- 6:19Speaker 1: heat get from there to hear instantaneously?
- 6:23Speaker 3: I am a little surprised with all you can do
- 6:25Speaker 3: with this floor though, But the Big twelve didn't have
- 6:28Speaker 3: a color palette that was a little more vibrant. What
- 6:31Speaker 3: do you mean, well, when heavy grayscale on a court
- 6:34Speaker 3: that I mean, you could do a million colors there. Oh,
- 6:36Speaker 3: I'm sure it can change it based on the teams
- 6:38Speaker 3: that are playing. What kind of grayscale in there.
- 6:41Speaker 2: I think that every time you make a basket the
- 6:44Speaker 2: rim should catch on fire.
- 6:46Speaker 1: It's like, you know, if they wanted, if you hit
- 6:49Speaker 1: a three, they could make the line the three point
- 6:51Speaker 1: line blink. They can do that if you wanted to
- 6:53Speaker 1: do that.
- 6:54Speaker 2: Now that might be a bridge too far.
- 6:55Speaker 1: More video game?
- 6:56Speaker 2: No, no, do more? Are you not entertained?
- 7:00Speaker 3: I am concerned because a lot of times, in years
- 7:03Speaker 3: of sitting and stressing about videoboard blackouts and getting yelled
- 7:07Speaker 3: at when a blackout would occur, what happens if one
- 7:10Speaker 3: of the I'm being serious here, one of those glass
- 7:12Speaker 3: panels has a malfunction, which it will, right?
- 7:15Speaker 1: What do you mean it will?
- 7:16Speaker 2: Because it's technology. Something's going to go wrong. Yeah, something
- 7:19Speaker 2: will go wrong.
- 7:20Speaker 1: Why would you say that?
- 7:21Speaker 3: Because just because it will? For years of staring at
- 7:23Speaker 3: our video board before a football game when it worked perfectly,
- 7:26Speaker 3: and all of a sudden the game begins and you
- 7:27Speaker 3: need it to work, and it would there be a
- 7:28Speaker 3: black little line that pops up on and.
- 7:31Speaker 2: Make you crazy if it happens?
- 7:33Speaker 3: What if it goes over the three point line?
- 7:35Speaker 2: There was a hockey game, college hockey game the other night,
- 7:38Speaker 2: and whoever's running the all the stimulation of lights thought
- 7:45Speaker 2: there's been a goal scored and started it all and
- 7:48Speaker 2: they were still playing and the place went dark and
- 7:50Speaker 2: then red and.
- 7:51Speaker 1: Oh my, yeah, that wasn't a good day anyway.
- 7:55Speaker 2: Anyway, on further action.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Those game operations people, I mean, they run a lot
- 7:59Speaker 1: of heavy risk. You know our buddies Dan Lowman and
- 8:03Speaker 1: Zack Spiker one hundred years ago, they used to be
- 8:05Speaker 1: interns for the pirates and one of their responsibilities each
- 8:09Speaker 1: game was to do a trivia question that would go
- 8:11Speaker 1: on the scoreboard. Oh boy, and one night they had
- 8:15Speaker 1: the wrong answer. You talk about like five alarm fire.
- 8:21Speaker 1: Sure they unfortunately would it would be like Kertiwill on
- 8:27Speaker 1: election night when he used to lose his mind run
- 8:30Speaker 1: around like a crazy man. Anyway, Three guys brought to
- 8:34Speaker 1: us by the good folks at Gomart. Basketball season is

- 9:39Speaker 2: Good piece of It's got to be exciting every second,
- 9:41Speaker 2: every second.
- 9:42Speaker 1: And then I didn't know you had to deal with that.
- 9:44Speaker 1: So when did this start with you?
- 9:45Speaker 2: I no, I just I'm being a little bit of
- 9:47Speaker 2: a curmudgetized. I was thirty two. Well, as you said,
- 9:50Speaker 2: I've always been fifty.
- 9:51Speaker 1: Yes, I know, pop rocks, pop rocks, They'll go juice caesars, Well,
- 9:56Speaker 1: you know what the heck those what are those called
- 9:58Speaker 1: juice caesars? Squeaky Squiggy, Lenny Squiggy, whatever the heck, it
- 10:03Speaker 1: is all right. Obviously we obviously we've gone off script
- 10:08Speaker 1: a bit. Let's do this. It's time for hoppies obvious
- 10:11Speaker 1: observations one, two, three.
- 10:14Speaker 4: He's got thoughts that sound rand new, but the things
- 10:18Speaker 4: we already knew. He got his bomb ready, Heaven knows,
- 10:23Speaker 4: I take it quick before his obvious ovation.
- 10:36Speaker 1: Very much look forward to this. Some of his obvious
- 10:38Speaker 1: observations are not obvious, which makes it more interesting.
- 10:41Speaker 2: Go ahead. You may not You guys may not have
- 10:43Speaker 2: known this because you were traveling. But Tuesday there was
- 10:46Speaker 2: a lunary eclipse, and it.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Does not know that first.
- 10:49Speaker 2: I've heard of this, only one of the year, and
- 10:51Speaker 2: maybe that's one of the reasons why WVU loses in
- 10:54Speaker 2: a rare game where they were favored on the road.
- 10:57Speaker 2: Why k State, you know, be West Virginia. Why Kansas
- 11:01Speaker 2: loses at Arizona State. Why Oklahoma State beats UCF y
- 11:05Speaker 2: TCU wanted Texas Tech. Un eclipse was a weird night
- 11:09Speaker 2: in the league. It was I thought it was one
- 11:13Speaker 2: of the worst losses of the year. Frankly Tony, you
- 11:16Speaker 2: and I were talking about this. I mean, you're playing
- 11:19Speaker 2: k State and you you just you feel like if
- 11:22Speaker 2: you just get them down a little bit, they're gonna
- 11:24Speaker 2: air done. They're done. Haggardy not playing. I mean, just
- 11:27Speaker 2: go in what Brad, take care of business. Don't disagree,
- 11:30Speaker 2: take car business, Brad. Brad, as you said in the beginning,
- 11:35Speaker 2: C J. Jones makes it three good, let him shoot,
- 11:38Speaker 2: made a couple threes.
- 11:40Speaker 3: I said that because he had made eleven right coming
- 11:43Speaker 3: into the season. What he made in Big twelve play
- 11:45Speaker 3: like five.
- 11:45Speaker 1: Shoot and twenty percent nineteen nineteen.
- 11:48Speaker 3: Percent from three May two. So anyway, so respect.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Of course J Jones who makes two three point play
- 11:54Speaker 2: three point shots in the first half. You know, I
- 11:58Speaker 2: actually felt okay, I mean because defensively you had them
- 12:01Speaker 2: shut down and you didn't score a lot of points. Okay,
- 12:04Speaker 2: you'll come out here in the second half and you'll
- 12:06Speaker 2: pull away and case State done. That's all that would happen.
- 12:09Speaker 2: And then you come out in the start of the
- 12:11Speaker 2: second half, and I gotta think that's about the worst.
- 12:13Speaker 2: I don't know how long it was, five seven, eight,
- 12:15Speaker 2: nine minutes. That was one of the worst five to
- 12:18Speaker 2: seven minutes West Virginia's played this year one percent. I
- 12:21Speaker 2: mean just turning the ball over, lazy passes. K State's
- 12:26Speaker 2: taking the ball down and scoring just like what happened,
- 12:29Speaker 2: mean the thing just dissolved.
- 12:31Speaker 3: A State might have I don't know, this is unconfirmed,
- 12:34Speaker 3: of course, I don't get cast dispersions. They must have
- 12:37Speaker 3: had something that they could do to the ball that
- 12:39Speaker 3: made it difficult to hold on to West Virginia, but
- 12:42Speaker 3: that didn't affect them. Early How many bobbles of balls
- 12:45Speaker 3: did we have? Like an un I should have kept
- 12:48Speaker 3: that stat that was an inordinate amount of just you
- 12:51Speaker 3: couldn't hold the ball.
- 12:53Speaker 2: You can't hold the ball.
- 12:54Speaker 1: It's like they sprayed it with w D forty.
- 12:56Speaker 3: That only worked against us, right, but it didn't affect.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Them going to Disney Movie anyway.
- 13:01Speaker 2: And then and then, as you like Coach Hodge said,
- 13:03Speaker 2: quote they took the ball from us. Okay, they made
- 13:06Speaker 2: the physical plays. You deserve what you get. And so
- 13:10Speaker 2: it just was it was. And then case what happens,
- 13:13Speaker 2: Brad K State said, what the heck, Oh, we're in
- 13:16Speaker 2: a game and we're winning.
- 13:17Speaker 3: We might as well go.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Ahead, just go just go Wildcats, and Brad, you'll get
- 13:22Speaker 2: into the numbers. K State had more turnovers, but the
- 13:25Speaker 2: Wildcats scored twenty points in West Virginia's turnovers. Correct eleven
- 13:30Speaker 2: for West Virginia. A crazy game in the second half
- 13:33Speaker 2: again lunar eclipse West. They go on with a twenty
- 13:36Speaker 2: one oh run and West Virginia responds with a nineteen
- 13:39Speaker 2: one run. Just bizarre.
- 13:42Speaker 1: K State again.
- 13:43Speaker 2: Free throw line issues K State nineteen of twenty five,
- 13:46Speaker 2: West Virginia nine of sixteen. There's a ten point differential.
- 13:48Speaker 1: First meeting between the two. They took four file shots. Yeah,
- 13:52Speaker 1: took twenty five yere and the.
- 13:53Speaker 3: Need to do spreads on stats today with you.
- 13:55Speaker 1: I'm sorry, that's it. Yeah, no more about the game.
- 13:58Speaker 1: Do something else. One's going to give us all the other.
- 14:01Speaker 2: Numbers, one other thing, just no, Brad will have that.
- 14:03Speaker 2: I give the obvious numbers. Announced crowd of sixty seven hundred.
- 14:06Speaker 2: They must have been going within a five.
- 14:08Speaker 3: Mile radius to gets distributed. Don't worry about attendance anymore.
- 14:12Speaker 3: It's always tickets distributed.
- 14:14Speaker 2: Okay, So Brad, real quick, before I go to the
- 14:16Speaker 2: rest of my stuff, where does this? Where does West
- 14:18Speaker 2: Virginia now in the Big twelve tournament? Are they going
- 14:20Speaker 2: to get the first round by or depends on what
- 14:22Speaker 2: happens still live.
- 14:23Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get into that here in a little bit.
- 14:25Speaker 3: It's it's still jammed up. There's four teams Cincinnata, UCF,
- 14:29Speaker 3: West Virginia BYU, BYU in West Virginia game behind those
- 14:32Speaker 3: other two. But there's some there's still stuff to be
- 14:34Speaker 3: decided here on this last weekend. Yeah, believe it or not,
- 14:36Speaker 3: westvirn India in a chance or has a chance to
- 14:39Speaker 3: get to the number seven seed, seventh or great.
- 14:41Speaker 2: And you'll and you'll talk about this. But now the
- 14:43Speaker 2: UCF game coming up on Friday, the rare Friday game.
- 14:47Speaker 2: That was one of those games, the first meeting in
- 14:48Speaker 2: West Virginia one but they were down, one of those
- 14:50Speaker 2: games when they were down and came back on our
- 14:52Speaker 2: hofhead twenty one, including sixteen in the second half. Remember
- 14:55Speaker 2: he was wasn't going in the second half. He took off.
- 14:58Speaker 2: West Virginia also went the free throw long nineteen free
- 15:00Speaker 2: throw shots made sixteen. So you'd like to see West
- 15:03Speaker 2: Virginia close out this home part of the season with
- 15:06Speaker 2: a win against UCF. WVU Baseball a curveball from the
- 15:10Speaker 2: WVU baseball team. The brief and blunt announcement that pitcher
- 15:14Speaker 2: Chase Meyer no longer with the program. No explanation given,
- 15:17Speaker 2: but these things don't happen unless something happened. And Meyer
- 15:21Speaker 2: was one of the few returning pitchers and he was
- 15:23Speaker 2: named to the preseason All Big Twelve teams, so he's gone.
- 15:27Speaker 2: So a guy they were counting on to be strong
- 15:30Speaker 2: on the mound no longer with the team. Spring football
- 15:33Speaker 2: practice starts in two days, Tony. Yeah, the seventh pop
- 15:38Speaker 2: a ton of new players, just thirty one players from
- 15:41Speaker 2: the entire roster last season, just six players back who
- 15:44Speaker 2: started a game last season. Says rich Rod quote, there's
- 15:47Speaker 2: so much more competition, true competition at every position. That's
- 15:51Speaker 2: something the coaches want to have, Brad. And if that
- 15:55Speaker 2: is so, and we'll take rich Rod at his word,
- 15:58Speaker 2: because last year a lot of it was just about
- 16:00Speaker 2: finding guys and filling gaps, right, not having competition, just
- 16:03Speaker 2: who can we get to play? So this feels different.
- 16:06Speaker 3: Well, and I think all we have now is the
- 16:09Speaker 3: famous phrase on paper, But on paper, I don't think
- 16:12Speaker 3: there's any question your talent level, your talent floor is
- 16:16Speaker 3: raised significantly. I'm excited to see what becomes of this
- 16:19Speaker 3: offensive line. I think he take the quarterback position excited
- 16:22Speaker 3: to watch Michael Hawkins live and again on paper. Has
- 16:26Speaker 3: the skill set that not only you would like to see,
- 16:28Speaker 3: but that fits Rich's system and what Scotty Fox look like.
- 16:32Speaker 2: Right.
- 16:32Speaker 3: A guy that was thrust into action as a true
- 16:34Speaker 3: freshman and got better. We saw him progress. How much
- 16:37Speaker 3: of a leap has he taken in year two? Running backs?
- 16:40Speaker 3: You bring back the nation's leading rusher and a guy
- 16:42Speaker 3: that had been at TCU. This isn't just a guy
- 16:44Speaker 3: that succeeded at Jacksonville State, but he had played well
- 16:47Speaker 3: at the Power four level. He comes in. You got
- 16:49Speaker 3: a talented freshman running back. I think from an offensive perspective,
- 16:52Speaker 3: there's zero doubt that the floor has been elevated here.
- 16:55Speaker 3: Now you've still got to go perform, but your talent
- 16:58Speaker 3: has increased. And it always starts with has your talent
- 17:01Speaker 3: floor raised from the previous year?
- 17:03Speaker 2: And we're on the Bubba Grayson bandwagon? After way on
- 17:05Speaker 2: Bubba Grayson. Yeah. Lou Holtz passes away at the age
- 17:09Speaker 2: of eighty nine. Always a West Virginia connection, strong West
- 17:12Speaker 2: Virginia connections. Tony Bourne in Fallinsby East Eastern Ohio. Guy
- 17:18Speaker 2: grew up in Eastern Ohio, but born in a hospital
- 17:21Speaker 2: I Guess Hospital in West Virginia. And of course he
- 17:23Speaker 2: was the coach of Notre Dame when they beat West
- 17:25Speaker 2: Virginia in the Fiesta Bowl. Who's played in nineteen eighty nine.
- 17:28Speaker 2: It was a nineteen eighty eight championship where they beat
- 17:31Speaker 2: West Virginia thirty four to twenty one. So West Virginia
- 17:34Speaker 2: connections to lou Holtz finally, on this date, fifty years ago.
- 17:40Speaker 2: On this date, fifty years ago, GW defeated WVU in
- 17:44Speaker 2: basketball in ninety nine ninety seven at the Coliseum in
- 17:46Speaker 2: the opening round of the EASTCAC Tournament. Two players were
- 17:50Speaker 2: ejected for fighting wv' is Russell Chapman and g w's
- 17:56Speaker 2: Jim Smith at the eleven minute mark of the second half.
- 17:59Speaker 1: They threw down gloves. Huh that's where they went gloves.
- 18:02Speaker 2: Chapman passed away in twenty twenty one after brief illness.
- 18:06Speaker 2: He was from Toledo, Ohio. By the way, Tony Robertson
- 18:09Speaker 2: and Bob Hawkins fouled out later in that game, but
- 18:13Speaker 2: and WVU came from just sound familiar. WVU came from
- 18:15Speaker 2: seventeen down in the game, but still lost the game.
- 18:18Speaker 2: That was fifty years ago today at the coliseum.
- 18:20Speaker 1: Speaking of basketball fights, that was horrific looking what took
- 18:25Speaker 1: place yesterday in the Coastal Carolina South Alabama Women's tournament.
- 18:31Speaker 1: That official went down and stayed down. And I'm a
- 18:37Speaker 1: little bummed out, Like I've checked that like ten times,
- 18:41Speaker 1: Like I want an update on the official and like
- 18:45Speaker 1: ESPN hasn't updated that stinking story since five o'clock yesterday afternoon, Like,
- 18:49Speaker 1: give me some details. I watched the video a bunch.
- 18:53Speaker 1: What do you think it was? Got hit in the
- 18:55Speaker 1: neck or in the head?
- 18:56Speaker 2: I couldn't tell. She dropped like band. It wasn't like
- 19:01Speaker 2: kneel down. It was boom. That was as bad. I mean,
- 19:04Speaker 2: have you seen a referee get knocked down like that?
- 19:07Speaker 2: I haven't, not that I can recall. No, that was horrible.
- 19:12Speaker 1: It was.

- 21:11Speaker 1: Copy all right, appreciate it.
- 21:13Speaker 2: No, I want to hear it. I mean I just
- 21:14Speaker 2: gave the obvious stuff. Well that mine's going to be.
- 21:17Speaker 3: This is one of those instances when you don't need
- 21:19Speaker 3: my numbers to back up what you saw. But we'll
- 21:21Speaker 3: do it anyway.
- 21:21Speaker 1: There's no big there's no big change in any of
- 21:23Speaker 1: the secret Okay, all right?
- 21:25Speaker 2: Did I get in your zone? Huh? Did I get
- 21:26Speaker 2: up in your zone? No?
- 21:27Speaker 3: No, just I mean they were obvious areas they yeah.
- 21:33Speaker 1: WV women's basketball team arrived in Kansas City yesterday the
- 21:38Speaker 1: luxury of the double bye. They had games yesterday in
- 21:42Speaker 1: the tournament. They have games today, which is Thursday. In
- 21:44Speaker 1: West Virginia with the double bye practices today waits to
- 21:48Speaker 1: find out who they could see. Potentially it could be
- 21:52Speaker 1: Iowa State. If the seedings follow through, West Virginia could
- 21:55Speaker 1: see Iowa State. That's a quarterfinal game for West Virginia
- 21:58Speaker 1: on Friday, semis on Saturday, and the title tilt coming
- 22:02Speaker 1: up on Sunday.
- 22:05Speaker 2: What the West Virginia can do?
- 22:06Speaker 1: What does that mean?
- 22:07Speaker 3: Not there and make a round? Be nice to see
- 22:08Speaker 3: them make a run. You get an unbelievable regular season.
- 22:11Speaker 3: Be fun to watch them make a little little run
- 22:13Speaker 3: here after the As you said, the double buy I
- 22:15Speaker 3: think so when did they play, like April eleventh their
- 22:17Speaker 3: first game?
- 22:18Speaker 2: I have that right.
- 22:19Speaker 1: Tomorrow Friday, Friday.
- 22:21Speaker 2: Double buye is good.
- 22:23Speaker 1: You know, you hope that they're right now. They're not
- 22:26Speaker 1: going to host an NC double a tournament game based
- 22:28Speaker 1: on the projections, but as we all know from last season,
- 22:31Speaker 1: projections really don't mean a whole lot. But it would
- 22:34Speaker 1: be great if you could get some surprises in some
- 22:36Speaker 1: of these other tournaments, and if West Virginia does, in fact,
- 22:39Speaker 1: like let's go out there and like let's win the
- 22:40Speaker 1: dog gone thing. If you do that, that would be
- 22:44Speaker 1: unbelievable huge. That's the next step for the women's program.
- 22:46Speaker 1: They've got to get to the point where they host
- 22:49Speaker 1: an NC Double A tournaments.
- 22:50Speaker 3: Such an advantage for those first two games. If you
- 22:52Speaker 3: can get it on your home campus and it'd be bonkers,
- 22:54Speaker 3: it'd be a.
- 22:56Speaker 2: Fourteen.
- 22:56Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be a it'd be a fantastic scene.
- 22:59Speaker 1: Yeah. So they deserve that. They deserve that, so hopefully
- 23:01Speaker 1: that that'll happen. All right, let's do this check numbers.
- 23:04Speaker 2: We'll just go right to the numbers.
- 23:08Speaker 1: This is spreads on Stats brought to us by the

- 23:54Speaker 3: it are really Yeah, yeah, I think it's.
- 23:55Speaker 1: Neat, right, All right, center fire, All right.
- 23:58Speaker 2: Let's dive in.
- 23:59Speaker 3: Let me begin with a just blanket disclaimer at the
- 24:02Speaker 3: top of an with all due respect to this team
- 24:06Speaker 3: and where the Kansas State program is, So I will
- 24:08Speaker 3: just begin with that. I won't say it on every
- 24:10Speaker 3: point I make. I don't think I'm just happy, ok,
- 24:12Speaker 3: just an overarching with all due respect. We've been there,
- 24:16Speaker 3: understand it is, it's been there, right, So with all
- 24:19Speaker 3: due respect, right, I'm still just scratching my head that
- 24:24Speaker 3: that team, in that particular spot at their life cycle
- 24:29Speaker 3: evolution was able to go on a twenty one to
- 24:31Speaker 3: nothing run against him, just stunning. West Virginia had a
- 24:34Speaker 3: game in which it went on two different ten oh runs.
- 24:37Speaker 3: Evanmya Kawa miya evanmea dot com has a stat for that.
- 24:42Speaker 3: It's called kill shots, and it's a ten oh or
- 24:45Speaker 3: better run. You do it two times in a game,
- 24:47Speaker 3: and you win like ninety percent of the time that
- 24:49Speaker 3: you're in there. Now, I didn't see a stat where
- 24:51Speaker 3: if you do that twice and the other team gets
- 24:53Speaker 3: a twenty. I didn't check that one. But that to me,
- 24:56Speaker 3: of all the things that were baffling about the other night,
- 24:59Speaker 3: just that they had the ability and you couldn't get
- 25:01Speaker 3: a stop in there for a team that as you
- 25:04Speaker 3: mentioned hop and I said that going into halftime, I
- 25:06Speaker 3: really thought, Okay, you're only up what We were up
- 25:08Speaker 3: three at the half, and you were the part of
- 25:11Speaker 3: you is like you probably should have been up ten
- 25:13Speaker 3: or twelve. I'm a little bit anxious. But as you
- 25:15Speaker 3: were watching that game play out West Virginia, how many
- 25:18Speaker 3: times did we say it got everything it wanted offensively
- 25:21Speaker 3: in terms of a shot or a good look. They
- 25:23Speaker 3: weren't falling, I understand, getting everything that wanted. And defensively,
- 25:28Speaker 3: Case State was really having to work. The game plan
- 25:30Speaker 3: was to push them out of the middle, which is
- 25:32Speaker 3: always the game plan, keep them on the side of
- 25:34Speaker 3: the floor, make it difficult to get and that's exactly
- 25:36Speaker 3: what was happening, and they weren't making any shots, held
- 25:38Speaker 3: them to twenty three in the first half. Yeah, so
- 25:41Speaker 3: while you had a little trepidation, you were only up three,
- 25:43Speaker 3: you thought, all right, this team where they are, you're
- 25:46Speaker 3: gonna come out, You're gonna continue to get good shots.
- 25:47Speaker 2: You're gonna make them.
- 25:48Speaker 1: They're gonna try.
- 25:49Speaker 3: Here we go, you're gonna pull way here. You're fine,
- 25:50Speaker 3: You're in good shape. That was simply not the case.
- 25:53Speaker 3: It was really three areas, and you, guys have identified
- 25:55Speaker 3: a couple of them. There were three main buckets I
- 25:57Speaker 3: think that got you in trouble. And foremost, just again, guys,
- 26:02Speaker 3: the inability to make shots at the rim and the
- 26:04Speaker 3: numbers tell us season wise, you've been better than the
- 26:07Speaker 3: national average on shots at the rim. My eyes and
- 26:10Speaker 3: emotional well being tell me that hasn't been the case
- 26:13Speaker 3: that when West Virginia struggles a lot of times, guys,
- 26:16Speaker 3: it is it's that in close. And I'm not just
- 26:18Speaker 3: talking traditional layup where it's up off the glass and
- 26:21Speaker 3: you're right at the rim. I'm talking Western getting in
- 26:23Speaker 3: the lane with a little tear drop jumper or a
- 26:26Speaker 3: baby hook that you just man, you had some looks
- 26:29Speaker 3: and you couldn't get them to drop. That was one
- 26:31Speaker 3: number two, and maybe the biggest area in this particular
- 26:35Speaker 3: game was at the free throw line and hope you
- 26:37Speaker 3: already mentioned some of this, but another one of those
- 26:39Speaker 3: old school stats. They made more free throws than you attempted.
- 26:43Speaker 3: But what was maddening is this was a team that
- 26:45Speaker 3: came into this game fifteenth in the league in free
- 26:48Speaker 3: throw attempt rate. So you take your free throw attempts
- 26:50Speaker 3: divided by your field goal attempts, and this was second
- 26:52Speaker 3: to last in the Big Twelve. They just simply didn't
- 26:55Speaker 3: get to the line all year. It wasn't the team
- 26:57Speaker 3: that was able to get to the free throw line.
- 26:59Speaker 3: You mentioned it, Morgantown be one with the line four times.
- 27:02Speaker 3: I thought it was one of the best examples of
- 27:03Speaker 3: all year of West Virginia guarding without fouling, without.
- 27:06Speaker 2: Taking the bait.
- 27:07Speaker 3: When Haggarty would come in and flail and try and
- 27:09Speaker 3: draw contact, the officials here in Morgantown, I thought did
- 27:12Speaker 3: a nice job of not taking that bait. Opposite of this,
- 27:16Speaker 3: fifty one percent free throw attempt rate for Kansas State
- 27:20Speaker 3: season high for the Wildcats. So not only did they
- 27:23Speaker 3: get to the line, hop they got to the line
- 27:25Speaker 3: at a rate in which they hadn't done it all
- 27:27Speaker 3: season long. And then, to their credit, when they got
- 27:30Speaker 3: to the line.
- 27:30Speaker 2: They made them.
- 27:31Speaker 3: They were above their season average in percentage of makes
- 27:35Speaker 3: at the free throw line. This was a number that
- 27:38Speaker 3: was just smacked me. Shot no free throws in the
- 27:42Speaker 3: final fifteen minutes of the first half there, Remember right
- 27:45Speaker 3: held him in check. He was sixteen to twenty one
- 27:47Speaker 3: in the second half. Sixteen to twenty one free throws
- 27:52Speaker 3: in the second Just take that, Just take that part
- 27:53Speaker 3: of it. Had thirteen two point feel thirteen two pointers
- 27:59Speaker 3: in the second half attempted and twenty one free throws attempted.
- 28:04Speaker 3: Jeez attempted eight more free throws and needed two point shots.
- 28:08Speaker 3: If you're Kansas State in the second half and a
- 28:10Speaker 3: trend continues, there's been some bad losses for West Virginia
- 28:13Speaker 3: that you would like to have back. Utah and k
- 28:15Speaker 3: State the two most notable, I would add in TCU
- 28:18Speaker 3: and Oklahoma State, although each of those teams had a
- 28:21Speaker 3: little bit of an advantage over the other two. But
- 28:23Speaker 3: I thought those were all four very winnable games. You
- 28:26Speaker 3: were minus thirty nine points at the free throw line
- 28:29Speaker 3: in those four games, again, almost minus ten to start
- 28:32Speaker 3: the game. Your margin for air is not good enough
- 28:35Speaker 3: there to overcome that points off turnovers you mentioned thirty
- 28:42Speaker 3: one percent of Kansas State's points came off of turnovers.
- 28:46Speaker 3: Twenty nine percent of its points came at the free
- 28:48Speaker 3: throw line. That's a whopping sixty percent of its points
- 28:52Speaker 3: came from turnovers or the free throw line.
- 28:54Speaker 1: Some of the turnovers are breathtaking. Yeah, I mean that literally,
- 28:59Speaker 1: like when you watch them happen, takes my breath away.
- 29:02Speaker 2: Well, that was you were appolled.
- 29:04Speaker 1: I mean, the softness of some of these passes is
- 29:09Speaker 1: just what in the hell or just possessing the ball,
- 29:15Speaker 1: grabbing the ball, holding on to the ball.
- 29:19Speaker 2: And you think in the start of the second half
- 29:22Speaker 2: where one of those happened to go okay, tighten up,
- 29:25Speaker 2: and then it kept happening like four weren't there four
- 29:28Speaker 2: consecutive times or something like four or five.
- 29:31Speaker 3: It's just could have been not no free throws in
- 29:36Speaker 3: the final fifteen minutes. That was a turnover stet there. Sorry,
- 29:38Speaker 3: that's that upright. Just so anyway, I thought it was
- 29:41Speaker 3: those three buckets, just your inability to make some and
- 29:44Speaker 3: the inability to make those shots happened early, and that's
- 29:47Speaker 3: where hopped to your point. That's where I thought you
- 29:49Speaker 3: missed your opportunity I thought, if you came out and
- 29:51Speaker 3: jumped on this team and got them down ten or twelve,
- 29:54Speaker 3: it was likely to be a team that wasn't going
- 29:56Speaker 3: to have any jews from the building that would just say, Okay,
- 29:58Speaker 3: we've seen enough here and we're done. And you just
- 30:00Speaker 3: couldn't do that and let them stay in the game.
- 30:01Speaker 3: And then you had a ballgame and you were into
- 30:04Speaker 3: into it. Kansas State took seventeen catch and shoot jumpers
- 30:08Speaker 3: on the game. This is stat we've looked at every time.
- 30:10Speaker 3: It just made It just makes you scratch your head.
- 30:14Speaker 3: Fourteen of them regarded three on guarded they made all
- 30:16Speaker 3: three of the other actually didn't. They only shot thirty
- 30:18Speaker 3: three percent on the unguarded one. So there, thank you
- 30:21Speaker 3: for the regression that finally came. Finally, second last game,
- 30:24Speaker 3: finally got little repression.
- 30:25Speaker 2: That's not a regression now now it's an outlier. Yeah,
- 30:28Speaker 2: that's true.
- 30:28Speaker 3: Off offensively, offensively for West Virginia, therefore defensively for Kansasate.
- 30:36Speaker 3: I thought, I thought Kamari McGriff made a difference. Some
- 30:39Speaker 3: of you some of your season, some of your season
- 30:43Speaker 3: is contingent upon who plays for you and who do
- 30:46Speaker 3: you have to play without at certain times, and same
- 30:48Speaker 3: for the opponent. And it's probably an area we don't
- 30:51Speaker 3: talk about or give enough credit to or blame to.
- 30:54Speaker 3: And I think that's a lot and again Hoppy, you
- 30:56Speaker 3: know my stance on that, Never ever apologize for who
- 30:59Speaker 3: you beat with somebody in the lineup, do not care
- 31:01Speaker 3: because you're also at times going without guys that are
- 31:04Speaker 3: one hundred percent in West Virginia had to battle through
- 31:06Speaker 3: that against k State. No one gives you an asterisk,
- 31:08Speaker 3: No one gives you a couple extra baskets because you
- 31:10Speaker 3: got guys that don't feel well. So that is what
- 31:12Speaker 3: it is. But McGriff made a difference, especially inside. West
- 31:16Speaker 3: Virginia was eleven of thirteen on shots at the rim
- 31:18Speaker 3: in the first meeting, So when we talk about ability
- 31:21Speaker 3: to make shots in close, I thought just his ability
- 31:24Speaker 3: and his length in there was a potential problem.
- 31:27Speaker 2: He was really good in the second half and.
- 31:28Speaker 3: Then offensively he was really good. He had fourteen points,
- 31:31Speaker 3: so he was good on both ends. And here's a
- 31:35Speaker 3: stat as we talk about getting in close. So eleven
- 31:37Speaker 3: of thirteen on shots at the rim in the first meeting,
- 31:39Speaker 3: West Virginia only had fifteen catch and shoot jumpers. In
- 31:42Speaker 3: the first meeting that was the fourth fewest and big
- 31:44Speaker 3: twelve play. But on Tuesday, twenty catch and shoot jumpers,
- 31:49Speaker 3: so you were forced out a little bit. Twelve of
- 31:51Speaker 3: them were guarded, eight were on guarded. You just had
- 31:54Speaker 3: nine points off the eight on guarded catch and shoots
- 31:58Speaker 3: that you needed more than that. Needed a couple more
- 32:01Speaker 3: buckets there and you would have been in good shape. Again,
- 32:03Speaker 3: some head scratching numbers walking out of a game. If
- 32:05Speaker 3: I gave you this box score after you would think
- 32:08Speaker 3: it would be a win. You had twelve more field
- 32:10Speaker 3: goal attempts than they did. You made more two point
- 32:12Speaker 3: field goals than they did, same number of threes, You
- 32:15Speaker 3: had fewer turnovers, You had more rebounds, including five more
- 32:19Speaker 3: offensive rebounds, and you had more assists on the game.
- 32:22Speaker 3: There were a lot of categories when you went and said, okay,
- 32:24Speaker 3: you got this. You came storming back. Another great example
- 32:27Speaker 3: of this team. This team's ability to come back from
- 32:29Speaker 3: down fourteen plus is really pretty remarkable. But you just
- 32:32Speaker 3: couldn't get get all the way back. Another area where
- 32:36Speaker 3: you couldn't take advantage hoppy. You mentioned West Virginia forced
- 32:39Speaker 3: more turnovers in case sty did, but scored less points significantly,
- 32:43Speaker 3: So West Virginia forced thirteen live ball turnovers, you only
- 32:47Speaker 3: converted that into twelve points, so less than a point
- 32:50Speaker 3: per possession off your live ball turnovers, So that could
- 32:53Speaker 3: have potentially changed the game as well. Just maddening, just maddening,
- 32:58Speaker 3: Just a difficult loss to swallow when you had a
- 33:01Speaker 3: lot in front of you and you just couldn't go
- 33:03Speaker 3: in and take care of it. One notable performance I'll
- 33:06Speaker 3: mentioned Honor Huff making three threes. Moved himself into second
- 33:10Speaker 3: place all time in a single season at West Virginia
- 33:14Speaker 3: in made three pointers. Pretty remarkable, one of only three
- 33:16Speaker 3: players in the history of this program to make one
- 33:19Speaker 3: hundred plus threes in a single season. And obviously we're
- 33:22Speaker 3: still going, so congratulates to him. It's been a remarkable
- 33:25Speaker 3: three point season for Honor Huff.
- 33:28Speaker 1: He'll be with us on Saturday, he will, Oh, yeah,
- 33:31Speaker 1: the West Virginia out Door Show. Like you to join
- 33:33Speaker 1: us there. It's at Milan Park and we're going to
- 33:36Speaker 1: be on there from twelve to fifteen until one doing
- 33:41Speaker 1: whatever it is that we do. And then after that
- 33:44Speaker 1: he's going to move over to a different area and
- 33:46Speaker 1: he's going to sign autographs. If you want something signed
- 33:49Speaker 1: by Honor or get your picture made, you could do
- 33:52Speaker 1: that with Honor Huff.
- 33:53Speaker 2: You know what be neat to know about, and I
- 33:55Speaker 2: don't know how you could get this without going over
- 33:57Speaker 2: every game, is how many shots he made beyond beyond
- 34:03Speaker 2: the three point You know what I'm saying, Like, that's
- 34:05Speaker 2: not just on the three point line, but in terms
- 34:07Speaker 2: of the distance.
- 34:08Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, there's probably some heat maps out there.
- 34:10Speaker 3: One of the best tough shot makers we've ever seen
- 34:13Speaker 3: play here, no question, and tough meaning not just at
- 34:17Speaker 3: the point of release, but what he has to do
- 34:20Speaker 3: to get open and given the style of play and
- 34:23Speaker 3: what's allowed to happen to him. He saw Bill self
- 34:25Speaker 3: get tossed at Arizona State for protesting the same thing,
- 34:29Speaker 3: but that was protesting in favor of his six' five
- 34:32Speaker 3: guard that will be likely the one or two pick
- 34:35Speaker 3: in THE nba. Draft blessed with some physical. Tools, honor
- 34:38Speaker 3: on the other, hand is getting clutched and grabbed and
- 34:41Speaker 3: hugged and pushed and. Banged very few calls to be
- 34:45Speaker 3: able to do what he's done to get to one hundred.
- 34:47Speaker 3: Threes given the style of play and officiating that he
- 34:50Speaker 3: faces every.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Night pretty amazing.
- 34:51Speaker 3: Season, yes in my, opinion.
- 34:55Speaker 2: You can if normally you're watching the, ball when you
- 34:59Speaker 2: watch the game and listening to you, guys is you
- 35:03Speaker 2: just take a take a couple series and just watch
- 35:06Speaker 2: him that that in of itself is, entertaining not.
- 35:10Speaker 1: For, him not for.
- 35:12Speaker 2: Him, yeah it's a it's it's just stop getting assaulted.
- 35:16Speaker 2: NonStop i would say this m despite the outcome of
- 35:22Speaker 2: this game and a few of these other ones most,
- 35:25Speaker 2: recently still really like this team a TON i do
- 35:29Speaker 2: like this.
- 35:29Speaker 1: Time, However, uh they're going to be remembered for the
- 35:33Speaker 1: ones that got, away The, utah The Oklahoma state And Kansas.
- 35:39Speaker 1: STATE i mean that's going to be you had it
- 35:42Speaker 1: within your. Reach it was there and they just weren't
- 35:45Speaker 1: able to close. It, yeah it was right there for, you, Know.
- 35:50Speaker 2: Tony the one of the things that coach says is
- 35:54Speaker 2: he does not accept that this is our this you
- 35:57Speaker 2: are who you. Are he doesn't accept that because he
- 35:59Speaker 2: believes you can all always. Improve and THAT'S i understand.
- 36:02Speaker 2: That but at some point you do look at the
- 36:04Speaker 2: at the, numbers particularly the offensive offensive defensive, numbers and
- 36:09Speaker 2: you can, say over the body of the, season you know,
- 36:12Speaker 2: this this is a really good defensive team and a
- 36:14Speaker 2: very limited offensive. Team that's evident on the body of
- 36:19Speaker 2: on the data from the.
- 36:20Speaker 1: Season, YEAH i think they're. Gassed then they won't say
- 36:24Speaker 1: THAT i think they're.
- 36:24Speaker 3: GASSED i don't think there's any. Question this has been a,
- 36:28Speaker 3: long grueling season of with some high end talented teams
- 36:32Speaker 3: that you've had to. Grind and, yeah it's a it's a,
- 36:34Speaker 3: slog there's no. Question but as long as we're talking about,
- 36:37Speaker 3: this if you want to talk about what you're remembered
- 36:39Speaker 3: for and what this, team let's let's do some history.
- 36:42Speaker 3: HERE i think this IS i think it's important to
- 36:44Speaker 3: contextualize what has gone on these last two, years in
- 36:47Speaker 3: particular with again brand new coaches and an entirely new
- 36:51Speaker 3: roster and short recruiting. Cycles AND i think copy that's
- 36:55Speaker 3: something to. Remember and we'll see where this roster ends
- 36:58Speaker 3: up next. Year but we just went through. This in,
- 37:00Speaker 3: Football rich comes in in year one with a compressed
- 37:04Speaker 3: time frame to go get, done a roster, flip and
- 37:07Speaker 3: that's a lot of. GUYS i know that's a lot
- 37:09Speaker 3: more than, basketball but the percentage basically remained, right although
- 37:13Speaker 3: it was still more in, basketball and we saw what
- 37:15Speaker 3: we just say about the talent floor at, football feel
- 37:18Speaker 3: like it's been raised pretty significantly on paper from what
- 37:21Speaker 3: you had to do in a compressed. Timeframe so you
- 37:23Speaker 3: talk about what this staff was able to do to
- 37:25Speaker 3: come on board short amount of, time And i'll still say,
- 37:28Speaker 3: this this team was constructed really. Well so if you
- 37:32Speaker 3: want to try and find things that you're picking up
- 37:34Speaker 3: and moving forward from a structure, standpoint these guys knew
- 37:37Speaker 3: how to assemble this roster from the pieces that you.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Needed you can debate whether you need more of something
- 37:45Speaker 3: or MORE NBA tipe. Players of course you do take
- 37:47Speaker 3: as many as you can. Get but when you construct
- 37:49Speaker 3: this team with wing, shooting with a point guard that
- 37:52Speaker 3: runs your system exactly how you want it to be,
- 37:54Speaker 3: run with a seven footer in the middle with some
- 37:56Speaker 3: six' nine and six eight guys, around him you constructed this.
- 37:59Speaker 3: With thought we've seen years before where it's just thrown
- 38:02Speaker 3: in with. Just guys you tried to amass some talent
- 38:05Speaker 3: that absolutely couldn't. Fit together the locker room was a
- 38:08Speaker 3: disaster and it. Didn't work that wasn't the. Case here
- 38:10Speaker 3: this was, very intentional and you ended up with a
- 38:12Speaker 3: tremendous group of character guys that gave you absolutely everything,
- 38:16Speaker 3: they had that chose to Come To west virginia and
- 38:19Speaker 3: play for a season and give you everything they. Possibly
- 38:22Speaker 3: had did they win every game you wanted?
- 38:23Speaker 2: Them? To no did they make? Every?
- 38:25Speaker 3: Shot no but This is tony as we can speak
- 38:27Speaker 3: from being around them Daily. Since june it's a wonderful group.
- 38:30Speaker 3: Of GUYS so i give them a lot.
- 38:31Speaker 2: Of credit.
- 38:32Speaker 3: Number one, That aside let's look at where this program
- 38:35Speaker 3: has been over the last seven or. Eight seasons if
- 38:38Speaker 3: you go from twenty eighteen to, last season, twenty eighteen
- 38:42Speaker 3: you were eleven and seven In The. Big twelve in
- 38:44Speaker 3: twenty twenty five you finished ten. To ten you played twenty,
- 38:47Speaker 3: league games so you got to that five. Hundred mark
- 38:49Speaker 3: in between those seasons twenty nineteen through twenty, twenty, four
- 38:53Speaker 3: guys you were thirty nine and sixty Eight and big
- 38:56Speaker 3: twelve play thirty nine and sixty Eight in big twelve
- 39:00Speaker 3: play from eighteen or from nineteen to. Twenty four in,
- 39:05Speaker 3: that time you had three seasons three of those whatever,
- 39:09Speaker 3: that is six seasons where you went four and, fourteen
- 39:12Speaker 3: guys you want to talk about a, Tough, season tony
- 39:14Speaker 3: where the four and fourteen seasons tough to?
- 39:16Speaker 1: Get, through yeah they were.
- 39:17Speaker 3: Not fun those were not teams that were on the
- 39:19Speaker 3: brink OF an ncaa tournament with a week. To go
- 39:21Speaker 3: three seasons of four and fourteen while having just won
- 39:25Speaker 3: with an above five hundred record in conference play in that.
- 39:28Speaker 2: Time and not winning any, road games and in.
- 39:31Speaker 3: The last two seasons with again a brand new coach
- 39:34Speaker 3: and a brand, new roster both times you got to ten.
- 39:36Speaker 3: And ten last year you got to five hundred, conference
- 39:38Speaker 3: play and this year you still have a chance to
- 39:40Speaker 3: finish at five hundred. Conference, play, now again, over, time
- 39:44Speaker 3: hobby over, fifty years was this program built on five
- 39:48Speaker 3: hundred finishes in? Conference play it. Was not but when
- 39:51Speaker 3: you're in a massive rebuild year after year after year
- 39:54Speaker 3: and coming back from what was a really difficult thirty
- 39:58Speaker 3: nine and sixty eight in the, previous years when you
- 40:01Speaker 3: did have some stability and you're able to battle back
- 40:03Speaker 3: to where you are and this YEAR what i think
- 40:05Speaker 3: is the best League in america in terms of high.
- 40:07Speaker 3: End talent this, TO me i will not walk away
- 40:10Speaker 3: from this season say and it was it was not
- 40:12Speaker 3: a success.
- 40:13Speaker 2: Or you shouldn't keep moving forward with what.
- 40:14Speaker 3: YOU'VE got i think this group Has done yeoman's work
- 40:18Speaker 3: in a short amount of time to get to where
- 40:20Speaker 3: it's getting to on, the precipice if you can finish
- 40:23Speaker 3: it home against what is LIKELY an ncaa, tournament team
- 40:26Speaker 3: it would be a sweep of the season over, that
- 40:28Speaker 3: team and you would finish it at a dead even mark.
- 40:30Speaker 2: In, this league that would be. A win that would.
- 40:32Speaker 2: Be success just thought some context. Was, Important, absolutely yeah.
- 40:36Speaker 1: That's great and here's a stunning stat that will be difficult.
- 40:40Speaker 1: To digest But In west virginia's, Basketball, history Okay In
- 40:46Speaker 1: west virginia's, basketball history and these are a little tweaked
- 40:50Speaker 1: because this will include Games Before west virginia became a
- 40:54Speaker 1: member of. The Conference But west virginia's all, time, record,
- 41:00Speaker 1: actually no this. Is True west virginia's all time record
- 41:04Speaker 1: In The Big. East, conference okay In The Big east
- 41:09Speaker 1: conference is forty nine percent winning percentage In The big
- 41:19Speaker 1: east forty nine winning percentage all Time against big, twelve
- 41:24Speaker 1: teams it's one seventeen and one, thirty one which is forty.
- 41:28Speaker 1: Seven percent, follow, me yes you just Know what. I'm saying,
- 41:32Speaker 1: so like while you might want to think that it's
- 41:35Speaker 1: like in, the sixties. It isn't the reality of it
- 41:38Speaker 1: is that it's been below five hundred in Both The
- 41:42Speaker 1: big east And The, big twelve and. That's painful despite
- 41:45Speaker 1: the fact that you've had some great success in, Those
- 41:49Speaker 1: periods let's just say from two thousand through there's also been.
- 41:54Speaker 1: These dips so, you, know statistically can this team get
- 41:58Speaker 1: to five hundred by beating. You cf tomorrow night and
- 42:01Speaker 1: finished nine to nine in, the league you statistically would
- 42:04Speaker 1: be ABOVE and i maintain that going forward with, these
- 42:10Speaker 1: guys you will be over five hundred on a regular basis.
- 42:15Speaker 2: GOING forward i agree with everything both of, you Said
- 42:19Speaker 2: and i've liked this team from the beginning and there's
- 42:22Speaker 2: a lot to like. About Them and brad you gave great,
- 42:24Speaker 2: context There and tony as. Did you here's the challenge
- 42:27Speaker 2: is that for the, casual fan basketball is about scoring
- 42:35Speaker 2: and about, hitting shots and this team has struggled at times,
- 42:39Speaker 2: with that and that contributes to. A frustration a fan
- 42:44Speaker 2: frustration about this team is the is the limitations? On
- 42:48Speaker 2: scoring which is which Is The again i'm stating the
- 42:52Speaker 2: obvious and that is the most obvious THING that i
- 42:55Speaker 2: THINK that i think dampens the spirits Of some. Mountaineer
- 42:59Speaker 2: fans i'm just STATING what i think is perception.
- 43:03Speaker 3: OUT there i think, you're right and there's no doubt
- 43:05Speaker 3: when shots don't, go in it affects how you feel the.
- 43:08Speaker 3: Game looks, but listen this is also a program for the,
- 43:11Speaker 3: most part most of its history built upon defense and
- 43:14Speaker 3: the ability to win IN ugly I mean baba's Build
- 43:17Speaker 3: a Hall of fame career out of having teams that
- 43:19Speaker 3: were offensive challenged at many times and still. Winning GAMES
- 43:23Speaker 3: so i think the flip side, To that i'm not
- 43:25Speaker 3: disagreeing with. YOUR point i agree if you're a casual,
- 43:27Speaker 3: basketball fan the easiest thing to see and digest is
- 43:30Speaker 3: did the ball go in the basket? Or not so
- 43:32Speaker 3: when you're having knights where you, MISS shots i understand
- 43:34Speaker 3: that this is also a league in which you. Better,
- 43:37Speaker 3: guard yes you, better guard or you've got. No chance
- 43:41Speaker 3: and that's especially true as you're building that program and
- 43:44Speaker 3: trying to amass. Your talent you had. Better guard and
- 43:47Speaker 3: one of the best ways to help your defense is
- 43:50Speaker 3: to control the ball and. Have possessions houston has had
- 43:54Speaker 3: high end success running this same. Exact SYSTEM so i get.
- 43:57Speaker 3: YOUR point i agree with. Your point there's also a
- 44:00Speaker 3: reason for doing things the way. You do and if
- 44:02Speaker 3: shots don't, go, in yeah you're gonna have some times.
- 44:03Speaker 3: Of frustration there's.
- 44:04Speaker 1: No doubt three guys before the game is brought to

- 46:16Speaker 3: had four and double figures honor with twenty one jaspread
- 46:19Speaker 3: seventeen twelve, for chance eleven, for below thirteen offensive rebounds
- 46:22Speaker 3: For the mountaineers in. That one we talk about who
- 46:25Speaker 3: played and who. Didn't play maybe A Factor jamichael stillwell
- 46:28Speaker 3: did not play in that. First meeting, twelve points eight
- 46:30Speaker 3: rebounds a game on, the season guy that's had double
- 46:33Speaker 3: figures in each to the last three that that could be.
- 46:35Speaker 3: A factor he's an interior presence. For them that will
- 46:38Speaker 3: be somebody to watch on. Both ends so keep an Eye,
- 46:41Speaker 3: on stillwell who'll be back in. The game knights went
- 46:44Speaker 3: on a three game winning streak after the Loss To,
- 46:46Speaker 3: west virginia but since have lost two in, a row
- 46:48Speaker 3: including a wild one to eleven one oh four shootout.
- 46:52Speaker 3: At home, so happy as you, just mentioned fans love
- 46:54Speaker 3: to see the ball go in. The basket I'M guessing,
- 46:56Speaker 3: ucf fans although they saw that, a lot did not.
- 46:58Speaker 3: Like losing when they put up one hundred and. Four
- 47:01Speaker 3: points Winning always trump's. All, hobby yes when it comes,
- 47:04Speaker 3: to that even though you scored one hundred and four
- 47:07Speaker 3: and took an l you Know what i'm hoping want
- 47:09Speaker 3: me to give you a hope For, hope coliseum that
- 47:12Speaker 3: that game actually pays some dividends.
- 47:14Speaker 1: For you what do you mean?
- 47:15Speaker 3: By THAT that ucf just played in a Game where
- 47:17Speaker 3: i'm not sure there was. DEFENSIVE players i think each
- 47:19Speaker 3: you Know in iowa they used to do a three
- 47:22Speaker 3: on three where they were just offensive players and some
- 47:24Speaker 3: played all. Time defense like when you're, a kid right
- 47:27Speaker 3: and you line up and pick up football, And say
- 47:29Speaker 3: i'll be all time quarterback because you had an. ODD
- 47:30Speaker 3: number i think it was all time offense in. That
- 47:33Speaker 3: game neither team wanted. TO guard i hope THAT that
- 47:37Speaker 3: ucf comes in here and gets a little abrupt like
- 47:40Speaker 3: metaphorical smack in the face that now you're getting guarded
- 47:43Speaker 3: and if somebody's, guarding, me yeah we're talking about the.
- 47:45Speaker 2: Manor guarding young men are guarding in.
- 47:47Speaker 3: This one so hopefully that that Turns Into west virginia's.
- 47:50Speaker 2: Favor.
- 47:50Speaker 3: Here uh big key in the first meeting was the
- 47:54Speaker 3: one on one matchup of famous Folks Against Jasper floyd
- 47:58Speaker 3: folks a tremendous point guard, for them really really stirs
- 48:00Speaker 3: their drink and makes. Them go he had nineteen in
- 48:03Speaker 3: that Game Against, west virginia, but man he had to work.
- 48:05Speaker 3: For it six to fourteen from, the field and the
- 48:07Speaker 3: bulk of those points came in the, second half if.
- 48:09Speaker 3: You remember and, most importantly he had a game high
- 48:12Speaker 3: six turnovers that were a Massive factor jasper locked, him
- 48:16Speaker 3: up made it a really difficult day. For folks that
- 48:19Speaker 3: will be one to watch. THIS season i think You
- 48:21Speaker 3: have jasper back at one hundred percent health in, this
- 48:24Speaker 3: one so if you're watching for a, specific matchup keep

- 48:37Speaker 3: to knock off what's BEEN a ucf team that's had a.
- 48:40Speaker 3: FANTASTIC season i think a Guy In johnny dawkins that'll
- 48:42Speaker 3: probably Get some coach Of the. Year VOTES if i,

- 48:48Speaker 3: like those goat folks that exceed. Preseason expectations certainly ucfs
- 48:53Speaker 3: that team and be nice to go ahead and give
- 48:54Speaker 3: them another L.
- 48:55Speaker 2: ON friday i.
- 48:56Speaker 1: Don't know which result was more bizarre the, other night
- 48:59Speaker 1: whether it Was The oklahoma state WIN at Ucf Or
- 49:01Speaker 1: west virginia Losing To. Kansas State Because, oklahoma, state remember
- 49:05Speaker 1: we just Saw A paris faula out for. The season

- 49:34Speaker 3: slow you down and getting up in, the floor which
- 49:35Speaker 3: you don't want to give Life To oklahoma state is
- 49:38Speaker 3: let them run up and down and not play defense,
- 49:40Speaker 3: on him which.
- 49:40Speaker 1: Clearly happened So If west virginia wins this eight o'clock

- 49:49Speaker 1: the eight depending on if they, don't win they could
- 49:52Speaker 1: fall all the way down.

- 1:00:48Speaker 1: Winging it Uh textual, HEALING texter says i believe this
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: team is. Just worn, out short bench high energy defense has.
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: TAKEN its toll i, agree, With.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: You hey brad, QUESTION for you i was, thinking about
- 1:01:01Speaker 2: this and this is just completely out. Of the blue
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: is that this league we know is so extremely tough
- 1:01:06Speaker 2: and is it possible that the best teams, in this
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: league the top, three or four by the time THEY
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: Get the ncaa tournament are going to? Be worn out
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: or is? That like, everybody yeah.
- 1:01:17Speaker 3: One PROBABLY everybody but i am interested The Way the
- 1:01:19Speaker 3: big twelve decided. To do it scheduling this year has
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: made for some incredibly, high profile, games so nationally you're
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: getting a lot of attention as you round into the
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: month when there's a lot of people that are just
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: now joining the watching. Of college basketball i'm interested to
- 1:01:35Speaker 3: see how that goes Next, Year, With Arizona. HOUSTON texas
- 1:01:37Speaker 3: tech I always take kansas in that gauntlet of round
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: robin they've Been. Playing in february think about what they're
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: asking those. TEAMS to, do i mean that's in essence
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: ITS own many ncaa tournament going Right Into a, big
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: twelve tournament going RIGHT into. The NCAA tournament so i
- 1:01:51Speaker 3: would think there'll be some coaches and ministers that have
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: conversations in the off. SEASONS about scheduling.
- 1:01:56Speaker 1: I, agree with you and then you know what the
- 1:01:58Speaker 1: response is going to be. From the conference. Cash, YOUR check,
- 1:02:01Speaker 1: yeah i agree. Cash your check the reason why we're
- 1:02:04Speaker 1: getting dollars is because we're giving THESE, games THE tv and.
- 1:02:07Speaker 1: Tv wants them, AT the, END.
- 1:02:08Speaker 3: I bet i bet there will, be some tweaks though
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: they very rarely, just, say, no no no there will.
- 1:02:13Speaker 3: BE some tweaks i bet it won't be as, big
- 1:02:15Speaker 3: a gauntlet but that will be the response.
- 1:02:18Speaker 2: From the. League you're right do you think some of
- 1:02:19Speaker 2: these teams will, Be worn out tony or? DO you think?
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: I know you there's, rest between games.
- 1:02:25Speaker 1: And so, if your conferences even if you make it to,
- 1:02:27Speaker 1: your conference tournament finally You play your saturday and then
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: you don't play again until At. The earliest thursday that's
- 1:02:34Speaker 1: at this time. Of the year that's a. Significant BREAK in, but, i,
- 1:02:37Speaker 1: think yeah, overall but everyone. But everyone's time here's.
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: The other.
- 1:02:41Speaker 3: THING it's, hard i know we'll assign that to a.
- 1:02:44Speaker 2: Lot of.
- 1:02:45Speaker 3: Cases it's hard this is this is as unforgiving of
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: a championship, tournament as exists a one win win. And
- 1:02:53Speaker 3: you're done gotta do it six times to claim the
- 1:02:56Speaker 3: national championship in a shorter time frame game when weird
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: tough happens like this is this is. An unforgiving, tournament
- 1:03:03Speaker 3: to win it's it's. A real challenge you got.
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: To play two games. In three days two games, in
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: three days if you're going to advance to, the, final four.
- 1:03:09Speaker 1: Right that's hard.
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: And then two games in three days at. The final,
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: Four that yeah so it's three. Rounds of that texter? How?
- 1:03:17Speaker 1: Question mark?
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: Why?
- 1:03:19Speaker 1: Question mark unbelievable we team and fans took a huge.
- 1:03:23Speaker 1: Gut punch tonight we get quad one wins and give
- 1:03:26Speaker 1: them away with terrible performances and losses to bottom dwellers.
- 1:03:29Speaker 1: In the league sloppy, played thirteen turnovers most, were live ball,
- 1:03:32Speaker 1: led to scores no interior, defense without filing totally different
- 1:03:36Speaker 1: team THAN the one i witnessed. Live in hope, shots
- 1:03:39Speaker 1: were there couldn't. Make convert scores only thing left is
- 1:03:42Speaker 1: A sweep of ucf take momentum to. The conference Tournament let's,
- 1:03:45Speaker 1: go Texter guy specifically senator using the old eye test
- 1:03:52Speaker 1: seems to Me that as brennan lorientcos so. Goes This
- 1:03:54Speaker 1: Team when west virginia started its Comeback, against k State,
- 1:03:58Speaker 1: it seemed below, as the spearhead is there an advanced
- 1:04:01Speaker 1: stat that accounts for how good a team is when
- 1:04:03Speaker 1: a certain player is having, a good game like maybe
- 1:04:05Speaker 1: WINNING percentage when x player reaches WHY points. AND z
- 1:04:08Speaker 1: rebounds i know of the wins, above REPLACEMENT stat but
- 1:04:13Speaker 1: i thought it just accounts for a player when they
- 1:04:14Speaker 1: are in the game versus. WHEN they're out i hope the.
- 1:04:16Speaker 1: Question makes sense, Love The. Show, kevin princeton yeah it's. A.
- 1:04:19Speaker 3: Good, one kevin actually you kind of answered your. Own
- 1:04:22Speaker 3: question there the WINNING percentage when x player reaches why
- 1:04:25Speaker 3: or rebounds would kind of be just that you could.
- 1:04:27Speaker 3: Argue causation correlation wins ablove replacement is designed exactly. To
- 1:04:31Speaker 3: do that it's not just an on off on. Off
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: stat there but that's really The one and below computes
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: WELL and. That i agree, FIRST of all I agree
- 1:04:38Speaker 3: with kevin's point. The Eye test when below goes and has,
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: a good game that's generally Good News, For west virginia
- 1:04:44Speaker 3: and part of that's just as you would expect when
- 1:04:47Speaker 3: teams have put as we did in film study, last
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: last week when they Tug up On trey and honor,
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: on the outsides it. Creates driving lanes you get a
- 1:04:55Speaker 3: really Good athlete like below that can elevate in the
- 1:04:58Speaker 3: lane and get those. Shots in close at his size,
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: and leaping ability that's part of why you see that
- 1:05:04Speaker 3: this is a number. That's really good you talk, about
- 1:05:06Speaker 3: a kid it's interesting you mentioned those twenty two seniors
- 1:05:10Speaker 3: that have played. At one school the challenge in this
- 1:05:13Speaker 3: day AND age is i do think you lose some
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: development of certain guys when they bounce around. To different
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: places and, AS an example i would say That About a.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: Ross hodg system if you're A Guy, like dj thomas
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: you have really developed in your first year. In college
- 1:05:28Speaker 3: basketball But. Think About dj if DJ's here for a second,
- 1:05:31Speaker 3: and third year never mind afore it just a, couple
- 1:05:33Speaker 3: of years think how much he's going to. Understand the
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: system Think how much below understood this System, along with
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: jasper two guys that are in the right spot defensively
- 1:05:42Speaker 3: way more often. Than they're not and that's some bad
- 1:05:44Speaker 3: development is stunted when you go from. System to system.
- 1:05:48Speaker 3: It's too bad below had a wasted FIRST year at
- 1:05:51Speaker 3: fau from, a playing standpoint only appeared. In ten games
- 1:05:54Speaker 3: this is a guy that's continuing. TO get better i
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: think his best basketball is. AHEAD of him i think
- 1:05:59Speaker 3: he's a guy going to look up in seven, or
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: eight years POTENTIALLY Overseas or g league and say And Look.
- 1:06:04Speaker 3: What brennan laurian it turned into all but Two Games in,
- 1:06:06Speaker 3: big twelve play he scored. In double figures so it
- 1:06:09Speaker 3: was and that's more than he had in the. Non
- 1:06:12Speaker 3: conference season so it's a guy that's figuring out how
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: to play. At this level he's adjusting to what, teams
- 1:06:17Speaker 3: are doing and he's had a really good Season.
- 1:06:19Speaker 1: For the mountaineers what's unfortunate with all this crazy stupidness
- 1:06:23Speaker 1: that's going on with professional athletes from overseas coming in
- 1:06:26Speaker 1: and guys PLAYING In the g league is that they
- 1:06:29Speaker 1: didn't go. Five For Five if brendon laurien had five
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: years to, play five seasons then he would be back
- 1:06:36Speaker 1: and that, would be great that would. Be really good
- 1:06:39Speaker 1: but that's not. Going to happen last one. HIGH three
- 1:06:42Speaker 1: guys i never miss a, couple episodes back You mentioned
