• 1:46
  Speaker 1: He'll be back on Thursday. Senator is here, and we're
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: delighted that you are as well. West Virginia. Did you know?
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Did you know? You know this? But kind of like
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: put it into perspective. I'm just thinking, here, there's only
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: eight games left. I know. Did you know that I did?
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: Because I happened to look this morning. I was going
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: through some other stuff and I saw that on my cheese.
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Now all of a sudden it's clipping along.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: There's eight left, man, I mean, this is this is where,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: this is where you separate yourself. In these next three weeks,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: these two teams at West Virginia is currently battling with
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Utah and BYU here at home. That trip gets returned
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: early next month, which becomes West Virginia's final road trip
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of the season. They'll do both of those back to
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: back BYU and then Utah, and then they come home
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and then play UCF on a Saturday. Then that's it.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Which means if I'm not mistaken here, right, you got,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: you got? You have five games in February, left, and
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: then three in March. Makes sense? Say it again, Five
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in the month of February, yeah, and then three in
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: March and then Kansas City here we'll come. Let's go. Okay,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: we go. So massive victory for West Virginia on Saturday
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: for a bunch of different reasons that we're going to
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: get into. Brad is going to dive into the numbers
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: of the analytics. What is what we saw during the game.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: What the numbers say? One two BYU becomes a massively
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: important game we record on Monday, so Tuesday night. And
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I'm concerned about Cincinnati.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they should just can they be done? I thought
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: they were just going to be done? Like why why
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: did all these teams refuse to lay down? Somebody laid
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: down that West Virginia still has to play. Nobody's laying down.
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Not that way. I'm not concerned about them. I'm concerned
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: they did. So I'm concerned with something that I have
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: developed called the Cincinnati slapback. Last time Arizona State, right,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: remember they go to Cincinnati and and and they you know,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: the outcome of that game not good for the Wildcats.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: So they come in here frothy and they're going like,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: we're not going to take two road losses. They you know,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: in West Virginia got beat. I don't want BYU. After
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: they got beat pretty good again Cincinnati. Same kind of
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: a deal you following me, I called Cincinnati slap back
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: because both teams circled back through here. I hear you.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: I was already concerned with the matchup for BYU, so
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: I'm not necessarily any more concern but I get your point.
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: I was more concerned that Cincinnati went out and made
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: shots and looked really really good. Gisel James, you didn't
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: score against West Virginia, went bananas, and you still have
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati coming out. That's why I'm concerned about Cincinnati. Yeah, okay,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: we'll we'll get to that.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Also later on during Textual Healing, we had that dinner
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on Saturday night with some folks that won a dinner
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: with three guys during a cancer event back in the July.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: That was right, That was to think. That was July July.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: We had an event at a golf tournament where were
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: we Stonewall STONA were at Stomall. We were at Stone
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: great time. Yeah, it was great, and someone bid for
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: a dinner and then we had the dinner after the
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: game against Utah on Saturday, and we'll have some pictures
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: coming up here.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: Awesome dinner, awesome company we had. That was that was
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a really fun time. That was a good and celebrated
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: to win nicely. Yeah, it was very nice.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: It was very nice. Let's face it, when you get
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: together with people you don't know, I mean, it could
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: be okay, it could suck, it could be like really good.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: We got the really good, really good, really enjoyed, got
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: an a plus crew in there. Yeah, all right. So
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: West Virginia beat Utah seventy two to sixty one. Very
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: memorable game at the coliseum. It was sold out thirteen
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: one thirty three and it was a coal rush, so
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: you had a bunch of stuff going on and new
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: uniforms looked great, looked great. And also, well we'll get
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: into this, have some situations with the led.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Well I thought it was awesome.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Well it was it was that, it looked great, it
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: did super cool, it was unbelievably cool. It was everything
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you just said. During the game. Got a couple of
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: people that texted in has situations. Okay, we'll get into that.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Come I like it, Yeah, so did I. I'm all four.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Seventy two to sixty one. West Virginia wins it. Mountaineers
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: at the break were up by nine points, thirty six
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: to twenty seven. West Virginia outscores the visiting utes thirty
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: six thirty four in the second half and they go
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: on to win the game seventy two to sixty one.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: But it was a five point game with three minutes
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: to go. It could have gone either way. So like
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: you give a ton of credit to the Mountaineers who
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: made five of their last seven shots while Utah was
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: making three of its last three shots. And I thought
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: it was I thought it just was a super game,
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: super environment, Like that's Mountaineer basketball. To me, that's exactly
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: if you were to define and say, hey, what's it like,
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: what's it like to play in the coliseum? Like if
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: you could just bottle that and just like that's every
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: single game, it's really super special.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: You can be a beast at home. Yeah, I thought
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: the Iowa State when those Saturday games, when when that
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: building is full and it's jumping and West Virginia hits
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: a couple of shots or a couple steals, it's an
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: awesome environment. And I thought that was the case again
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. At times, it was hard to sustain that
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: the whole time for the crowd because the game was
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: super choppy.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Right it was.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: There was not a lot of flow at times. But
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: I thought in the key moments that crowd rose up
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: and you could see those guys garner some energy off that.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: I'm with you. I thought it was a fun, really
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: good environment that benefited West Virginia clearly.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: Now the Utes coach thought it was too.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, he thought he was so complimentary afterwards. West
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: Virginia said, you know what that's about. As well as
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you can say it, we're gonna take your quote, put
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: it on a graphic and we'll shoot it out there.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: He seems like, good it very nice. It seems like
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: a good dude. You tall people just can't be nicer,
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: extremely nice to be. Why you folks come in really nice?
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Utah folks were in very nice. Yeah, it was very nice.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: They get their team credit too. They're an example of
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: the team. Never mind season wide. I thought, or was
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: hoping Saturday, West Virginia can come in here. You get
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: up double digits. That's a long flight. You might be tired.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You go ahead and get up double digits. This place
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: is rocking. Just go ahead and just rest. Just go
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: ahead and lay down there and just rest. You get
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: another game coming. At Cincinnata, they wouldn't go away, man
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: like they did a nice job. They couldn't get over
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the hump and get the win. But I felt like
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: every time West Virginia extended that lead out and you thought, okay,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: here it is, they're in control, this is over, they'd
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: hit a basket or two and be right back in it.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: That's why you had to get it, because they're gonna
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: be waiting on the World Champion of mountaineers in Salt
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: Lake Sigams. Oh yeah, watch you cam here. That's why
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the remaining home games for West Virginia are just so
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: absolutely vital. Okay, let's do some math. I want to
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: do math, simple math. I mean I stopped at Trigg
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: in high school, cut it off at trigonometry, just ended
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: it there, did fine. Had a great teacher, didn't want
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: to do calculus, so I stopped it there. So I
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: can go up to some public numbers here right, You've
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: got six wins in the league. You're six and six
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: with eight to go. Consensus is you get to ten
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: wins in the league. You're in the NC two A tournament.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: I think nine's nine. Still't play.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I don't want to do nine. I want to I
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: want ten. You know what I mean. Of all the
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: people that don't live on the edge, this would be you.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Let's just get the ten.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm not saying I'd rather have nine than ten.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: I'm saying I think you're in at nine, but go
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: ahead with your point ten ten. We're not even having
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: the discussion. But I don't think you are at nine either.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: You're solidly in right now. But I'll get to that.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't want to go to I just I
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: like to go to Kansas City, breathing deeply, like, Hey,
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: what's up Tuesday, players, We're gonna come over, gonna watch
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: your games. Everything's good, We're good, we're in. We're just
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: playing house money this week. You know. I like that.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: I don't discrete. But you're in at nine.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: You have an unbelievable non conference schedule. You have great wins,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: you have quad one wins, you have away from home wins.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: You're in one of the best leagues in America. Do
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: a wag with the tournament. If you're not in with
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: nine wins, Okay, go ahead. What's your point, b YU.
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: If you get it, you're at seven, feeling great. If
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: you get BYU.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati, if you get him here, you're.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: At eight, feel wonderful.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: If that's the case, TCU might owe them. Gotta line
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: up and get them nine. Punch it UCF last game
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: of the regular I know they're good. I'm just saying,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, you know it's gonna be Saturday. It's
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: gonna be the last game of the season. Brands are
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: going to come out by that time. Got to bring
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: it by that time. I mean the weather changes probably
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: going to be about seventy two.
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: Well, that's what I'm worried about. Might be some people
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: out boating.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Right, Lou Wendell, boats will be out. Nevertheless, you gotta
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: come in for that game. You get ten, regardless of
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: what happens for the rest of the way. At Baylor,
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: at Texas Tech, at Utah, at BYU, those those are
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: just okay. Fine, go play the games and try your
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: ass off. But if you can take care of your
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: work at home right then you're in which I would say,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you do it. And I've said this before either. I
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: don't know if I've said this publicly, but I've told
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a bunch of people privately, best coaching job I've ever seen.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: It's hard to not even closely. If you find me
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: a better coaching job than that one, show it to me.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Darren won't won't win National Coach of the Year for that,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: but he should. I mean, it's unbelievable what is going
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: on right now. The fact that we're having this conversation
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: and debating whether nine or ten conference wins gets you
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: in the tournament is absolutely astounding from where this group
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: was and where it's been over the last year and
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: a half. It's remarkable. As you sit today from bracketmatrix
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: dot Com, you're still holding solidly in this field at
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: a nine point one four seed consensus over whatever they
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: do eighty to one hundred different brackets nine point four
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: to one seed, nine point one four seed, interesting the
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: other nine seeds. While we're here, Utah State coach by
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Jared Calhoun Gonzager, who West Virginia played, never thought that
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: would be the case in Oklahoma. I tell you what,
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma's got some good nine sets.
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: They got some tough challenges coming up in the remainder
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: of their schedule. They might have done one of these.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: They might have they might have shot up high quick.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: And now if you take a look at their remaining
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: games on their schedule, you have Oklahoma there. Can you
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: click on there? Yeah? Go on Oklahoma. Take a look
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: what they still have to do in their league. They
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: got some tough dandies.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: I think Missouri LSU at Florida, Mississippi State, Kentucky at Ole,
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: miss Missouri again. So they going to home and away
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: and at Texas.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: See, they're gonna they're gonna do one of these. Man,
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: they're gonna come like whoo.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: It's a good sec, good league, just like the Big Twelve.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: You just went through West Virginia's remaining schedule. There is
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: in a single game on there that you say is
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: a lock, and there's a single game on there that
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you can't win. But man, those road games are tough
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: for Westernia at Baylor, at Texas Tech, and then a
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: two game trip to utah mm hmm. Right sets up
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Tuesday's game. Tomorrow's game is super important. But we'll say
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: that every game for the remainder of the schedule.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: All right, you ready to? You ready to? Yeah?
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I think let's just dive right in because most of
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: the stuff I'm going to say as a recap is
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: related back to some numbers. So let's just dive right in.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's do that. Time for a little bit of
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: this and a little bit of that. Let's do. Let's do,
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: let's do. Let's do so I check your numbers.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: We'll just go right to the numbers.
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: There comes a year. This is spreads on stats of
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: the show. It is the analytics portion of the show,
• 13:34

  Speaker 1: Check them out all right, anything that made you go,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: like a.
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: Couple things on. Let's start on the defense for a second, because,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: as we've come to see now with this team, West
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: Virginia's success is driven by its defense. Its offense is
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: keyed by its defense. Let's begin there. And it was
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: you know, we talked about this Thursday when we said, Hey,
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Utah's coming in here with great size, fourth tallest team
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: in the country. They're really big. If you've only seen
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: them on TV, which I had, and then you're sitting
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: there on the floor with them, that is a big
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: boy team. That is a I can't remember a team
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: that consistently big across the board. They trot those starters
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: out shortest dude was six to six.
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: Dude. I'm gonna tell you something. On their first defensive possession,
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: I truly, I truly was taken aback, Like, I don't
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: know if did they Yeah, they want on the tip.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: So the ball's over here, and they ran their offensive
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: set whatever it is. I don't think they didn't score.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know if they scored whatever. And then we
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: turn and West Virginia brings the ball up the floor
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and my man Shirov jumps six nine six nine point
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: guard he's here, and then Whallen wheelanz ten six ten,
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: and then the big center is sevening lovering seven to one.
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: I looked over and I went like, holy cow, biggest
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: defense that I can recall, look like a pro defense. Huge. Yeah.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: There were times when kJ Tenor would come in and
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: he was guarded by six ' nine or six ten.
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I mean it's a foot difference.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: Literally, it's a foot difference.
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, unbelievable, so great size. So that that concerned me
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: right out of the gate. I thought, oh my gosh.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: So defensively though, and that's that's part of where you
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: look at this, like, Okay, what are you gonna do
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: to them? Defensively? So West Virginia's game plan coming into
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: this was to shut off the passing lanes in the paint.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Utah's number one came into this game number one nationally
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: and assist rate, so they had assisted on a higher
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: percentage of made baskets than any other team in the country,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: and part of that was due to great passing bigs
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: and opening up that lane and cutting through. They did
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: a tremendous job at that. So one of the things
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: West Virginia was looking to do when you would see
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: them come off the curls. On some of those screens,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: West Virginia was not helping on the curl guy. They
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: were saying, if you want to shoot that mid range jumper,
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: so be it. We're not gonna let you dump it
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: down when the help guy comes up. We're gonna stay
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: back on this. So you saw some open mid range
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: shots early, and if you were confused as a fan
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: or concerned about that, you shouldn't have been. That was
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: the exact game plan. So overall, West Virginia took a
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: team averaging an assist on seventy percent of its made baskets,
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: cut that all the way down to forty eight percent
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: assist rate. So drop that down tremendously made a team
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: that wants to pass and move the ball become up more.
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: I've got to go get my own shot. I thought
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: that was step number one to making this work. Here's
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: another one, Tony. In the last five games, Utah had
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: assisted on a shot in the paint on forty percent
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: of their field goal attempts. Okay, so half of the
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: field goal attempts on shots in the lane came via
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: an assist. If the season ended today, that would have
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: been in the ninety ninth percentile. So that matches up
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: that they're a very good passing and it syst eight team.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: So again, forty seven percent of those particular niche passes
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: shots from in the paint. You want to know how
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: many assists they had on shots in the paint against
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: West Virginia, how many goose egg zero? So West Virginia
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: just cut that off said go ahead and make shots.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: If you're gonna beat us, you're not going to pass
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: and get close to the basket with your great size.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: So I thought that was one example of West Virginia
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: doing a great job. And I think it's another concrete
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: example of what you hear us say on this show
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: all the time throughout basketball season that Darren and this
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: staff do a tremendous job of coming up with opponent
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: specific gar plans that they can put in place that
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: give this team the best chance to win. That's part
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: of why we're talking about the NCAA Tournament come mid
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: February because of the plans that these guys come up
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: with and implement, and then credit to the guys that
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: then take those plans that are ever changing and then
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: they go execute them, and I thought defensively, West Virginia
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: did that across the board, but that was one area
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: where it was exceedingly good at executing the game plan.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's huge. Think about that they're eating there and
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: then all of a sudden there's no food in the lane.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Really well done.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, all right, let's talk about free throws for a second,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: because that was the theme of the last podcast, and
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: the whistle that West Virginia got at TCU was certainly
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: disadvantage West Virginia. On Saturday against Utah advantaged West Virginia.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: I give that crew a tremendous amount of credit, Tony.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: That was a very physical game, and it was physical
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: in a lot of areas that don't get called sometimes.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: And here's what I mean by that. There were multiple
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: times when Javon was cuttings, West was trying to put
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: him off the ball. And what's one of the things
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: you do to try and counteract their great size. You
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: try and move right. You got to move and motion
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: and pass and make those big bodied guys have to
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: chase you around. Well, they were doing that with Javon offensively,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: putting him in positions where he could try and get
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: off screens, and Utah did what I thought was a
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: very good job all game of preventing him from getting
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: a lot of shots. He finished with what five field
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: goal attempts on the day, So they ultimately did a
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: good job in closing him off from shooting the ball well.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: A lot of times what they were doing Tony, he'd
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: cut through the lane and there would be a Utah
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: defender that would not only step in front of him,
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: but step in front of him and shoulder check, forearms shivered.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: They were extremely physical with Javon off the ball. There
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: was a lot of holding, There was a lot of grabbing,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: There was a lot of wrapping around the arms, there
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: was a lot of pushing on rebounds. That was a
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: very physical Utah defense trying to use its size to
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: lean on West Virginia, and there were not a lot
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: of those that got through. I thought the crew did
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: a great job of seeing those things off the ball
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: that should be called, and they were called, and I
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: thought that helped West Virginia quite a bit.
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: Savan's a former teammate there at East Carolina.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: He was rather physical, rather physical and got whistled a
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: few times for that. They were on him early and
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: that was to Utah's.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: Detriment, picked up a technical file. He did. That's right.
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: Did anyone tell you that was going to happen before
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: it did? I told him, I said, dude, I know
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: this official first half because I noticed the official got
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: upset with him because he committed a file. And I
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: know that official. I've watched him for years, and I
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: told him during the commercial, I said, yo, I said,
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: mark it down. That dude will tee that guy up
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: at some point in the game. It's gonna come second half.
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: He got it. Well, it's exactly why TJ. Simmons got
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: called for blocking out of the game against Oklahoma and football.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: That was still a horse bleep call it was. I'm
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: not saying that it's the right thing. I'm just saying
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: when these guys get your license number, when they get
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: your license number, they're eventually going to run you off
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: the road. And that's what happens.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Big advantage for West Virginia in that one. But the
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: percentage wasn't great from the line. West Renie struggled to
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: make some shots thirteen to twenty three for the game,
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: so the overall percentage wasn't great, but you needed those
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: points and in particular, that's where Javon made some hey,
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: nine of nine when you got Javon to the line,
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: so that was critical. Here's where it really paid dividends.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: In the first half, Tony and I we were having
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: another one of those oh no moments. Utah came in.
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: We talked about this on Thursday. They were going to
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: get to the line a bunch. This was a team
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: that had a very high free throw attempt percentage. They'd
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: get to the line, but it was a bottom five
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: team in terms of free throw percentage. They were a
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: bad free throw shooting team. We had just said the
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: same thing about TCU, and it didn't work. TCU made
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: eighty six percent of its foul shots against West Virginia
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: won on the game. Utah starts the game seven of
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: seven from the free throw line, and I thought, oh no,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: we're not doing this again. Another bad free throw shooting
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: team is going to make its free throws. Luckily, you
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: got involved with the announcer, Jinks, because mine was not
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: working for a game and a half. You got involved.
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: In the second half, Utah couldn't buy a shot. They
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: go just two of seven from the line, so they regressed.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: West Virginia an eighty three percent free throw attempt rate
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: in the second half, meaning they got almost as many
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: free throw attempts as it did field goal attempts. And
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: that was massive with Javon getting a bulk of those
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: going to the line and helping you score. So just
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: as West Virginia got Jonathan Powell hot in the second half,
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: they were also getting to the free throw line. That
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: was the difference there offensively. So whistle didn't help West
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Virginia on at the TCU game. It did help against Utah,
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: and that was a factor.
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: That's what makes you crazy not to belabor the TCU game,
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: But you do. So Javon Small goes nine for nine
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: at the line on Saturday against Utah, he got zero
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: free throws. Let's check this out. So Javon Small took
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: nine free throws, he tried five shots. On Saturday at
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: TCU he tried nineteen shots and got zero free throws.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: What if Javon Small would have made six free throws
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: against TCU. You're sitting here with one more w But again,
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: I'll never be one to belabor a point.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Go ahead now, if you want to just keep laboring,
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: I'll join you in belaboring it was about seventeen in
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: change to go on the clock in the second half.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: So early in the second half Javon had surpassed in
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: one game against Utah, had surpassed his free throw attempt
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: total from the previous three games with almost eighteen minutes
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: to go in the second half. Should never happen.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: It did so.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: Officials and whistle helped West Virginia. Now again, I thought
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: they called it pretty pretty well. Now that's probably partly
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: because West Virginia benefited from it, But I thought the
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: off the ball stuff that was going on in that
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: game that was added pretty early by those officials worked
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: to West Virginia's benefit. Let's stay on Javon here for
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: just a second, because what a game he had for
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: the Big twelve's leading score. That wasn't a game that
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: wowed you with his scoring ability, but how about him
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: distributing the ball. Eight assists in this game, And you
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: can't tell the story of this game without what's coming
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: next from out of my mouth. The eight assists and
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: then the other guys stepping up and scoring, which I
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: will get to in just a second. Eight assists, no
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: turnovers for Javon Small. How about that, dude, he's hard
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: to stop scoring, and then you're going to try and
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: take him out of the game, which again they did
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: a pretty good job of some face guarding early to
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: make it tough to eight assists, no turnovers in that
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: game as much as he has the ball.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I think it was a wonderful case study that absolutely
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: everyone that plays the game or parents that have young
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: kids that are playing the game, and Darren spoke to
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: this in his postgame press conference, and that is all
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: Javon Small wants to do is win, So whatever role
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: that takes. For whatever reason, we become and have become
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: infatuated by points, Like if you come across even a
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: little kid right the place, you go like, well, how
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: many points a game do you score? Like, for some
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: reason that became the points Like we never ask an
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: offensive lineman in football how many touchdowns do you score?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: Because that's not their job. Well, guess what the same
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: concept is true in basketball, right, You don't need to
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: be a points scorer. You need to be elite at
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: a specific category. Fortunately for Javon Small, he is not
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: just a scorer. He can do a bunch of other things.
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: So on Saturday he goes out, he makes nine free throws,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: he gets you eight assists, he gets zero turnovers. He
• 25:49
  Speaker 1: becomes the focal point of the other team's defensive attack,
• 25:53
  Speaker 1: which freed up the guys will talk about him on
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: his Hansberry Jonathan Poll, John Joe yesfu at all, Right,
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Like we probably collectively need to stop looking at that
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: and further appreciate Toby o' kanni for example, awesome, I
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: mean Tobyo Kanni is not going to be a guy.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Then say hey, Tobe, you need to go out there
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: and lead us tonight in points. No, but the things
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: that he does Sincere Harris.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: He's not back there before you get Sincere. The things
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: that Toby does when he's on and does and he did,
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: they win your games. And you don't win games if
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: he doesn't do those things. They win your games.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: And Saturday was the perfect display of when Tobyo Kannie
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: is completely locked in. I mean he is. He is
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: a tremendous defender. They constantly elite, They constantly tried to
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: post him up, and he's just so big, he's strong,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: he doesn't bend, and he just he just refutes all
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of those attacks that's wrong. And then that play that
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: he made obviously that you've probably seen a good bit
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: on social you know, you block a dunk at the rim,
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: that's one thing that's hard to do, you know, that's
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a rarity. You run down position in the corner and
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: you bang a three. I mean, there was like the
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: aftershock meters somewhere unbelievable. It's just like the roof was like,
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, completely set the tone for the rest of
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: By doing what he did, showed his versatility. You know
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: what got lost at least on me because that sequence
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: was so unbelievable. He did it in a previous sequence too.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: How about this run for Toby. Remember when he hit
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: that step back long two, but he was on the line,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: so he hits a step back two. They come down
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the other way and he picks Husar for a steal.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: West Virginia goes the other way with it. Toby, with
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: an offensive rebound on that ensuing possession, kicks it to
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: Yesufu for a three. That was Toby as well. He
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: had two of the better both ends. You talk about
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: a two way player. There were some unbelievably special moments
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: those two, in particular for Toby. On Saturday, he was
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: huge he was huge. We'll come back to some more
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: of those individual performance. Let me stay on Javonan for
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: a second. The eight assists and zero turnovers now give
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: him in the last three games. Twenty four assists in
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: the last three games. So again, as you go through
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: the league's schedule and it matures and teams start to
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: get their scouting report, it's obvious the key number one,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: two and three is trying to take small out. Well,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: people are struggling to take him out number one, and
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: when teams have tried to limit him from a scoring standpoint,
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: he's busting through with these assists, twenty four assists in
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: the last three games, just five turnovers in that stretch.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Very nearly five to one assists to turnover for a
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: guy that is getting two sometimes three players on him. Remarkable.
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: We've had some really special basketball players at this school.
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: This dude is as skilled as put him in any
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: category you want. We've come in here throughout the course
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: of the season and again talked about the big twelves
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: leading scorer him. We just now talked about his assists
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: and his prowess there. We've had days when we've come
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: in said how about Javon small had eleven rebounds m HM.
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: And we talked about him in preseason by saying, what
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: what did every conversation about Javon in the preseason say?
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: You know, he almost tripled doubled against West Virginia last
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: year against Oklahoma State. You're seeing that at different times
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: this season. You've seen him be elite in every one
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: of those categories. Oh, by the way, you want me
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: to add another category of that. Sure, he guarded Gabe
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Madson most of the game on Saturday, Utah's best shooter
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: and scorer who takes thirty percent of its shots from
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: the field. There were times when you forgot Gabe Madsen
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: was out there. And I mean that as a compliment
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: to Javon's defense, not to bang on Gabe Madson, but
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: he only had won three in the game, and a
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: lot of that was due to Javon shadowing him on
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: the defensive end. So he literally gives you everything. Javon
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: gives you everything you would possibly want out of a
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: basketball player, and he did it on Saturday three point
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: shooting overall. And this leads in to some of this
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: excuse me discussion about these other guys. Joe Yesafu once
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: again has just man. You talk about a guy. When
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: he shows up and performs and scores like he does,
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: you probably get a win. If you're West Virginia, we
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: go back. You don't win that game at Kansas without Joe,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: you don't win at Colorado without Joe, you don't win
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: at Cincinnata without Joe. And you might not win Saturday
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: without his points. Unbelievable performance from Yesafu.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: That's a great point. He leads to or.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Helps lead along with Amani and JP, which we'll get
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: to both of those guys in just a second. To
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: three point shooting where you made nine threes right so,
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: which finished with nine total threes. West Virginia now moves
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: to eleven and two on the season when they make
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: nine or more three pointers. So we know for a
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: team that takes nearly half his shot half its shots
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: from three, that's a critical part of the offense. It
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: opens everything else. It did on Saturday, West Virginia was
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: clicking early. Six of those came in the first half,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: and you felt pretty good about where that was trending,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: and that number held true. Again, make nine threes, you
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: walk out with a win.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Right shot the ball very symmetrically forty eight percent for
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: the game, forty eight percent in each half. West Virgiana
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: shot forty seven point eight forty eight percent in the
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: second half, so they were spot on there and also
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: had consistency from three now. One thing, however, a couple
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: of things. You could have won that game by a
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: lot more points, and you're gonna lose a game coming
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: up here if you don't do a much improved job
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: at the foul line, like you can't go thirteen for
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: twenty three.
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: I do think that's a little bit of an outlier.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Like Jonathan Powell went one for four from the free
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: throw line. I mean, I'll take him at the free
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: throw line in any situation at any time, and bet
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: he's not going one for four. Again, that changes, That's
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: a that would be rare if he wasn't at least
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: three for four. There put another two on that, So
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, you're right, but I also think you that
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: was an aberration performance. I think a couple other performances
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: while we're here, Amani Hansbury was outstanding, one of his
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: better all around games. I thought seventeen points. Knock down
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: those three to three pointers, which we've said all season.
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: If Amani's gonna make threes, this team is extremely dangerous
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: and the numbers bear that out. But he did a
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: great job hitting those early which set the tone which
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: change how you have to guard West Virginia. Now you've
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: really got to pay attention to him floating on the perimeter.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: He also battled in there by being what six five
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: six seven inches shorter than a lot of those Utah
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: guys to come in with seven rebounds with tremendous and
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: how about this four assists for Amani. Two of them
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: came in the second half when he was posting up
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Javon on the one side, isolating Hansbury, kicked it down
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: and they doubled and he kicked out to JP for
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: second half threes that were huge and you needed both
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: of them. Those were extremely well done by Amani to
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: kick and find the open Powell. JP was really good
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: as well, a guy that you needed to score yesterday.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: That was also held in check early Saturday Saturday held
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: in check early. Some face guarding going on there. You
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: could see how important they thought Jonathan Powell was to
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: that offense, as they stuck Gabe Matts and at times
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: in the corner just up against him, staring right in
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: his face, not worrying about help. So Jonathan shots were
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: limited early, he was big late, hitting a couple of
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: big threes, had seven rebounds. And then how about the
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: defensive play where he intercepted the pass at mid court
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: took it in for the layup. For a true freshman,
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: that's a really good shooter to be able to do
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: that on the defensive end. We've said it all year
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: about him, tremendously impressed with the defensive effort.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: You remember, a few years back we did a little
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to call it scientific, but we dug
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: back into records to see if a player as a
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: freshman scores a certain point per game total, they turn
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: out to be a good player. You remember that, and
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: the number was four. Like, if you average four points
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: or more as a freshman historically, then you go on
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: and you have a very very productive career. And Jonathan
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: is sitting about eight or nine, about eight points per game.
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: So like we always say, like, if you're good right
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: from the start, you're going to be good. Any last
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: thing on the utes.
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: A couple we have one more thing Western was really
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: good in transition, which was by design. You wanted to
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: take their size and use it against them and say, Okay,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: you got big guys, let's see if you can run.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: We want to get up and down the floor. If
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: you're West Virginia, two point two points per possession in transition,
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: So think about that more than a basket on every
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: transition play, which means you got some threes mixed in there.
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: That was the best mark of the season, and you
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: just surpassed the TCU game, which was your second best
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: on the season. So the last two games, or the
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: two most efficient games you've had in transition have been
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: the last two parts of the game. Also offensively, I thought,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: once again, I probably don't need to be pointing this
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: out every week, but I'm going to continue to do
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: so because it impresses me whenever you come out of
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: timeouts or the halftime, watch what Darren puts together offensively.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: And he did it again in the second half. They
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: came out and ran some beautiful sets, including the first
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: one that didn't got a great shot, didn't get the basket,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: and then you had what three or four possessions where
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: you just got great shots and got buckets coming out
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: of the time or coming out of the halftime session
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: which were huge and really helped with this offense. Yeah,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: so great overall performance.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: All right, that's the utes coming up. We'll dive into
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: our first encounter with the Cougars of BYU, and like Utah,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: they have an abnormally large point guard position. As I
• 35:15
  Speaker 1: said earlier, we'd like to welcome a new sponsor onto
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: the program. It is Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law, and
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: we're delighted to have him because if you're a regular,
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: you know that one number one, we like to support
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: West Virginia based businesses. This is a business which has
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: started and still runs right out of Parkersburg, but literally
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: has become nationwide through the years. And one of their
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: very very special areas of expertise is helping military veterans
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: secure benefits that are due them from the Department of
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Veterans Affairs. So we've got a lot of military people
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: we've known that through the years that text in to us.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: So if you are someone that you know suffers from PTSD,
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: back pain, hearing loss, knee in well, then Jan Dill's
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: Attorneys at Law are there for you. You can get
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: the benefits that you are doing. Now. This is a
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: process and it's not an easy process, stunning, shocking development.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Guess what a lot of bureaucracy when it comes to
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: filing these kinds of claims. So it behooves you tremendously
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to use someone that literally does it every single day
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: of the week. And they have saved and helped hundreds
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: and hundreds of military veterans. And the nice thing I
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: like about this is that this is not limited to
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: West Virginia because we've got so many of our listeners
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: that are outside of West Virginia. They literally are nationwide
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: when it comes to helping military veterans. So let me
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: give you a couple of things here. Here's the phone
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: number number one one eight seven seven Veteran one eight
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: seven seven veteran, or just their website, Jandills dot com,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: d i LS jandills dot com. No money on your side,
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: They get paid when you win the benefits that you deserve.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: And one of the nice things as well, and when
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: I say they built this practice, their attorneys are members
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: of the National Organization of Veterans' Advocates, so they know
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: exactly what it is and they're accredited by the federal
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: government to handle these types of benefit cases. So if
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: you need help military veteran, visit Jan Dills dot com.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: And we're delighted that they are with us. B YU.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: This will be interesting. I'm a little concerned mm hm
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: weather calling for some snow.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe it's going to end up less than what
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: people originally Well.
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: I hope so, I mean, I hope so. But I'm
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: just saying, like I we need we need that great
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: we need that great energy and that boost that I
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: need that booster because I guess what, when West Virginia
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: goes to play in uh provo here coming.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Up, they'll fill it.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: It'll be locked out. It's going to be locked out.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: And that's a weekend game too, so I getarantee it's
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: going to be locked out. So we need to get
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: a dub BYU Cougars.
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Another big one and concerning from this standpoint, but if
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: you like the X and oz's matchup, this will be
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: fun because this is a talented offensive unit from BYU
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: going against what's been one of the nation's best defenses
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: in West Virginia. So this is a good one to watch. Here,
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: here's some stuff on BYU offensively ready for these numbers.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: I'm ready seventeenth nationally and offensive efficiency ninth nationally, an
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: effective field goal percentage which weighs three pointers heavily, which
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: they should be tenth nationally in two point field goal percentage,
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: and they lead the Big Ten in three point field
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: goal shooting. They do it all. They're going to put
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: you in a ton of ball screens, try and get
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: around you, and then start spraying to shooters that are
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: all over. So this is an offense that is going
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: to stretch West Virginia's defense out. But again, this is
• 38:53
  Speaker 2: one of the best defenses in the country against opponent
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: shooting three. How does West Virginia matchup with their ability
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: to shoot from the outside. They've got a bunch of
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: guys that can do it. This was wild eight players
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: that average two or more three point attempts per game,
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: So it's not just one or two guys. They have
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: some elite shooters. They're going to roll a bunch of
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: dudes in there that can shoot and spread you. And
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: once they spread you and you attack the perimeter shooters,
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: they can go inside at you as well. So a
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: very diverse and really good offense. They actually shoot more
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: threes than West Virginia does. Is a percentage of its
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: overall field goals. They're sixteenth nationally in three point attempt rate.
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: So if you can shut the three three down, you've
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: got a really good chance to walk out of here.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: Here's another concern. They're pretty good when they're guarded from three.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: You think, okay, just get out and pressure them. They
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: still make threes forty three percent from three when they're
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: on guarden.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: I've watched them play. I think a good word you
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: say spread, I think spread is a good way to
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: describe what they do. The word that comes to my
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: head is they spray the ball. It's pick and roll
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: and then spray it. It's just constant ball movement. And
• 39:57
  Speaker 1: as you said, the same thing that I took away
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: from it, like they have dudes that make shots that
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: are guarded, like I see corner jumpers like where you go,
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: the guys draped all over them and they're banging shots.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: So this needs to be a not a good defensive
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: effort by West Virginia. This needs to be one of
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: their better defensive efforts of the year.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's going to be a challenge to get there,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: just because this is a really talented team. Given those
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: numbers I just gave you, This shouldn't surprise you, but
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: they're fourteen and three. The Cougars are fourteen and three.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: When they score thirty or more points from jump shots.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Two of those three losses have come or two of
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: those losses have come in the last two games where
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: they've made shots, but they have given up a bunch
• 40:38
  Speaker 2: on the other end. So this is one of those
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: Can you guard them enough to make it difficult, but
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: can you take advantage of what at times for them
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: becomes a lax defense? Are you going to be able
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: to score with them? At times? Really intriguing matchup here
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: to watch defensively, this is where can you go score
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: some points on them? They haven't forced a lot of turnovers,
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: thirteenth in the Big Twelve. When they're on defense's should
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: play right into West Virginia's hands. West Virginia doesn't turn
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: it over a lot. They're thirteenth in opponent three point
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: field goal percentage, so teams can shoot threes against them,
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: as Cincinnati just did. They went bananas from behind the
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: three point line allowed them to run away with that game.
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: They're twelfth and the Big Twelve out of sixteen teams
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: in overall defensive efficiency, so can you get your offense
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: cranked up against them and hang in there defensively, keep
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: an eye on them. A couple guys to watch Igor Demon.
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: You alluded to a big point guard. He's a big
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: point guard. There will be multiple NBA scouts in the
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: building watching him. He's a potential high draft pick.
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: This is one of your boys coming to this one.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: Schedule to arrive, schedule to be here.
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: He'd be like, oh home week for you.
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, be excited. A lot of Valley High School a
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: lums in the building. Potentially, it was always a good thing.
• 41:47
  Speaker 2: Demon is the most used offensive player for BYU in
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: terms of possessions. He'll have the ball in his hand
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: a ton. He's in the top one percent of players
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: in the sistrait, so he's a very good distributor. But
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: he'll also turn it over a little bit. Is this
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: a s and here? Harris gets Demon and can you
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: disrupt that offense enough one to get some steals and
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: turnovers and get the other way for easy buckets, and
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: two just gum up the wheels of that BYU machine
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: that can get humming pretty good. If since since you're
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: played on Saturday, I thought did a nice job in
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: some limited action. How close is he to one hundred percent?
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: What do you get out of him defensively? But I
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: would guess he's gonna draw Demon, who has great size.
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: But since here can come close in the size department,
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: that's a critical, critical matchup. He's gonna have to get
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: up in him, in him, He's gonna have to get
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: out fouling. Here's something if you haven't seen Demon play yet,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: he's a dude Euro. He's a euro Russian if I'm
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: not mistaken, Euro and long euro.
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: And he got some flash to him. Now, don't I'm
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: not saying this, but he has that ability to pass
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: the ball again, don't. Well, you're gonna say magic, Luca,
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Oh look you got some He got some of that, right,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: He's got some of that like win Mill type passes
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: and like he'll give you and he'll He's really fun
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: to watch. So it will be extremely interesting to see
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: how Sincere Harris can hopefully give him a little bit
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: of a of a challenge of being comfortable.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: Fifteen turnovers in his last four games, So the thing
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: with him is going to be which of those wins
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: out can West Virginia force him into a bunch of turnovers?
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: And depress and force and advantage West Virginia. Maybe you
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: get the win off that, or does he go bananas
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: and get the advantage and walk out of there with
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: eight assists on you and you're in trouble because if
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: you don't turn him over and he gets the corner
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: on you, now he starts spraying, or you come to
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: help him with his great size, then you've got some
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: challenges here. When they're winning. They had a four game
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: big twelve win streak earlier this season. He had twenty
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: six assists in that stretch, so he really starts kicking
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: it when they're when they're playing well. Richie Saunders another
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: guy to watch, can really shoot it forty four percent
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: from three and Treyori's back. Treior's back. West Virginia made
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: him an MVP last year in a spot start for him.
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: He was unbelievable last year against West Virginia. So he's
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: a big dude in the middle, one of the best
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: rebounders in the country offense and defensively. I have a
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: bunch of other guys I could go through, but those
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: are kind of the key key guys to watch.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: All right, again, play them, We play them twice coming
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: up here in a matter of just weeks.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Hold on, sorry, one more thing, There's always one more.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I just found this stat interesting to tell you how
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: good this defense has been for West Virginia. Last year,
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: teams made double digit threes against WVU eleven times during
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: the season, which was a lot. That's part of why
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: you had trouble winning. Opponents made eleven eleven different times
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: made double digit threes. This year, it's only happened twice.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: Both were on the road, lost to pitt and a
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: lost to Houston. Those are the only two teams that
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Westring's played all year that have gotten to double digit threes.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: That's important for this game because what happens does BYU
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: to double digits, you're in some trouble. If they don't,
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: you're probably in this game and have a good chance
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: to win.
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: So this will be byod bring your own defense. Yeah,
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: I got to bottle them up. Three guys before the

  Speaker 1: So that was really good. Go ahead. One of the
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: other items we had so that is the warm brie
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: and that was with a root beer reduction on top

  Speaker 2: get one done. It's a lot of tie in absolutely.
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: Then we went with let me see here. That was, yeah,

• 51:59
  Speaker 1: Uh hey, three guys. This is an in game text
• 52:02
  Speaker 1: against Utah. Beginning of the Utah game. The game announcer
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: on ESPN the PESPN Plus brings up the Utah is
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: one of the worst free throw shooting teams in the country.
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: All I could do was cringe. We all know the
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: curses set and naturally they go seven for seven. Well,
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: I would say this to you, why did it take
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: you until the beginning of the game to listen to
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: a television announcer tell you that we told you that
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: on Thursday during a preview. And obviously, as we've learned
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: through the past, TV announcers oftentimes watch this show before
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: they do a Mountaineer game and they get details. Had
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: that guy come up to us. I'm not going to
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: say his name, but they come in. Hey, we listen
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: every single time we do a West Virginia game to
• 52:46
  Speaker 1: get the numbers. Meanwhile, by the way, my wife and
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: daughter love popcorn. If they had the option, they would
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: have it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So I took
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: your word and I got the Valentine's Day del light
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: for both of my girls. I also had to throw
• 53:02
  Speaker 1: in the Mountaineer munch in my order because I don't
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: think they should have would have shared. Let's go Mountaineers. Well,
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: thank you. By the way, thank you homeless Dave. He
• 53:10
  Speaker 1: brought me over from Mountaineer popcorn carmel with almond with peanuts.
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: Oh God, everything I've eaten from there is off the train.
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: You'll kill it. He brought me some that had some
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: chocolate mixed in there as well, a little chocolate peanut
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: butter in. It wasn't our munch but similar style.
• 53:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah. By the way, all the Valentine's orders everything went
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: out male wise and so you'll be getting those this week.
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: Shout out to Star City Post Office. Ben from Ohio,
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: this is kind of troubling. My game day experience Saturday
• 53:43
  Speaker 1: A solid B B, but he says the game was
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: in the eight to a minus range. Amani making shots.
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: Good to see he's going to be key for us
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: down the stretch when he's making shots offense. Drastically different
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: pregame meal and beverages. Hey, plus, so why a bee? Overall,
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: it took me nearly the two and a half hour
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: drive home to get the damn light bracelet off my wrist, and.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: I dropped it a full letter grade.
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, in all seriousness, it was a very good time.
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: Hope to make it back for UCF text her great win,
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: great atmosphere with the coal rush light show, really cool.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: But my friend and I can't loosen the light wrist band.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: We're halfway back to Pittsburgh. We still haven't gotten the
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: thing off our wrist. Hope we're not the only one
• 54:28
  Speaker 1: struggling right now. Let's go Mount Ears. No you're not.
• 54:31
  Speaker 1: I came home. I came home and the wife. That's
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: what she said to me too. I said, what do
• 54:37
  Speaker 1: you think of the light? She goes, it was great.
• 54:39
  Speaker 1: She goes, I had to cut that bracelet. I said,
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: what are you talking about? She goes, you can't get
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: the bracelet off. So there it was. She had to
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: slice it to get it off.
• 54:50
  Speaker 2: That's all right, just cut it and get it off.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: I think people want to put it on again.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: What's a one time use.
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: The guy might come back.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: Then you'll get another one when they do it again.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: It's a one time use kind of move on.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: Question for the senator, what is Zamani Hansbury's percentage from
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: a three pointer at the top of the key? That
• 55:08
  Speaker 1: shot and a small pricking picking That shot and a
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: small picking pop is pretty lethal when he's making it.
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: What's you shoot from the top of three?
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: Thirty six percent?
• 55:22
  Speaker 1: Okay?
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: Which is which is good? While we're there, a little
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: bonus spreads on stats. Opponents are forty two percent from
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: the top of the key three in home games versus BYU.
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: Oh nice to win byus on the road.
• 55:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh Texter. Obviously they played different styles, but if
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: you had to choose who's the head of better senior year?
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Javan Small or Javon Carter? Wow, tough question. I don't
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: think it is.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's a tough question.
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: You do.
• 55:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because Javon Carter won National Defensive Player of the Year,
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: I understand von Carter should be a big twelve player
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: the year.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so we could. Uh.
• 56:08
  Speaker 2: I think that's a hard one.
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: Wait, yeah, they're hard, But I'll tell you we probably
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: should have had our production team to a comparison of
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: those numbers before we did this. But since we don't
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: have a production team. What was senior year? I'm looking
• 56:31
  Speaker 1: at it right now. Stand by Javon Carter. Where's Jovon Carter?
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: There's Jon Carter? Okay, his senior year he averaged seventeen points. Well,
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: what year was it? Eighteen twenty eighteen? He averaged seventeen
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: points five rebounds.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: Wow, he was seventeen points a game he did. How
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: about this numb that's pretty good. How about this number?
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: Two hundred and forty six assists to ninety eight turnovers,
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: so he's basically two and a half to one, had
• 57:11
  Speaker 1: one hundred and twelve steals.
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: Was an unbelievable year.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: It was unbelievably shot offense more Sevember seventy seven threes
• 57:22
  Speaker 1: thirty nine percent from three eighty six at the foul line.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: It's an awesome year. Put some advanced numbers on that.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Ken Palm ranks his players of the year just analytically
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: had Javon tenth nationally that year, which is incredible. Has
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: Javon sitting seventh right now national Javon Sorry, has Javon
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: Carter was had Jevon Carter tenth in twenty eighteen, tenth
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: best season in college basketball that year? Overall? He's got
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Javon Small sitting seventh best season or player of the
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: year seventh right now? Yeah, as I said, really.
• 58:04

• 59:12
  Speaker 1: the world's biggest Utah Youte fan. Saturday's game was the
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: perfect setup for a friendly grandpa type wager. I spotted
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: him seven and a half points, with the loser having
• 59:25
  Speaker 1: to don the opposing team's jersey, take it to a
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: neighborhood street, and then scream allegiance to the other team.
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: The result is one of my favorite videos of all time,
• 59:38
  Speaker 1: shot by my daughter Abby, a true West Virginia fan
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: born and raised in Morgantown. Enjoy and thanks for keeping
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: us all smiling so go ahead roll that video if

• 59:53
  Speaker 1: and he gets rolling in the Yeah, here he goes
• 59:58
  Speaker 1: he's running out in the street. I go where you're going? Yeah,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: So he got lost their face coming down in the snow.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: Now she's mom's not going in that snow. So he's
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: got a West Virginia jord. Now I listened to him
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: in the road. Yeah, yell it. So he put a
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Pat White jersey on. He's a huge Utah fan. How

• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: It was awesome.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: That was that was great. Probably get to meet him.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: So I'm glad. I am very glad that grandpa won
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: that vet uh JD from the southern coal fields. Did
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: Country Roads just jump the shark during the Super Bowl?
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: West Virginia needs to do a social media campaign going
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: so everyone knows how the song became tied to sports
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: in the first place.
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: I thought yesterday and I didn't watch the commercials nearly
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 2: as closely as I have in past years, but I thought,
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: for an old marketing guy Tony awesome, awesome activation on this.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: So Rocket Mortgage does the commercial on TV with Country
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: Roads being the backdrop and the song and the soundtrack,
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: which was very cool. Then they come back out of
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: commercial back in the stadium and if you notice closely,
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: the signage in the stadium was all Rocket Mortgage or
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 2: Rocket dot Com and they were playing Country Roads in
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: the stadium at that time to tie into the TV
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: broadcast with the in stadium experience, which I thought was
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 2: elite level five stars tie in, very well done five stars.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: So no, JD, I don't think it jumped the shark.
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 2: I thought that was a plus marketing execution there by
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: everybody involved.
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 1: I'll be honest with you, I didn't know any of
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: that was happening. And so during the game, that was
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: an absolute wow to me, just a wow, cool, absolutely
