2:25

2:29
Speaker 2: where you're not sure if you're getting it on there?
2:31
Speaker 1: Well, actually I got.
2:33
Speaker 3: I got shouted down at Tutors because I went and
2:35
Speaker 3: because I'm not.
2:36
Speaker 1: Big on cheese. On half of what happened, I'm not
2:39
Speaker 1: big on cheese. Shouted you down.
2:40
Speaker 3: Well, it wasn't a shoutdown exactly. Cindy was there and
2:43
Speaker 3: I said, I want four bacon and egg biscuits.
2:46
Speaker 1: They said, what about cheese? Well, okay, you put cheese.
2:50
Speaker 4: I felt like I was good glad Cindy did that.
2:52
Speaker 4: I just because you don't like cheese doesn't mean I
2:53
Speaker 4: don't want you.
2:54
Speaker 3: Well, and I thought about getting three and one.
2:56
Speaker 1: I thought, then what do you know which ones? Witch? Okay?
3:00
Speaker 2: The three guys also brought to us by Connolly's CPA
3:02
Speaker 2: group providing value beyond numbers spreads on stats as coming
3:06
Speaker 2: up the deep dive into the UCF game and Brad
3:12
Speaker 2: has those numbers coming along.
3:13
Speaker 1: All right, So.
3:14
Speaker 2: Here's the delio. Believe it or not, regular season is complete.
3:20
Speaker 2: Don't know about you, but I think collectively for us,
3:23
Speaker 2: it went by unbelievably fast, and I think a little
3:28
Speaker 2: bit of this show needs to be spent putting things
3:31
Speaker 2: into the proper perspective of what just transpired before we
3:34
Speaker 2: get into post season play, which for West Virginia starts
3:38
Speaker 2: on Wednesday when they take on the winner of Tuesday's
3:42
Speaker 2: game between TCU and Colorado. That game TCU Colorado is
3:47
Speaker 2: a rematch from Saturday's regular season finale in which the
3:53
Speaker 2: Colorado's buffaloed the horn Frogs lined up punching r datum face,
3:58
Speaker 2: which is always interesting that happens. And then you what
4:02
Speaker 2: happened Cincinnati last year? Right, Cincinnati last year beat West Virginia.
4:05
Speaker 2: I think it was by three hundred and eleven points
4:08
Speaker 2: in Cincinnati on Saturday. Then you see them again in
4:11
Speaker 2: the conference tournament in West Virginia had them beat if
4:14
Speaker 2: you remember, in the tournament. And then we had a
4:17
Speaker 2: technical foul situation, remember that Bradley I do, and all
4:23
Speaker 2: of a sudden it imploded. But anyway, that's for another day.
4:27
Speaker 2: So what has just happened? West Virginia ends the season
4:32
Speaker 2: with nineteen wins, ten more than they had all of
4:36
Speaker 2: last year. They end the season at ten and ten
4:41
Speaker 2: in the Big Twelve Conference in its first and probably
4:44
Speaker 2: going to be its only, twenty game season, goes back
4:47
Speaker 2: to eighteen next year, and you get a bye by
4:51
Speaker 2: virtue of that Colorado victory over the TCUs and your
4:55
Speaker 2: victory over the UCFS, and you get there and what
4:59
Speaker 2: you basically it allows you to do. Obviously you get
5:02
Speaker 2: an extra day of rest, but it really allows what
5:06
Speaker 2: you to do is you get to go over there
5:07
Speaker 2: on Tuesday now and there's four games on Tuesday, and
5:11
Speaker 2: you get to sit down in your seat and then
5:13
Speaker 2: you take your feet and you put your feet on
5:17
Speaker 2: the chair in front of the chair in front of you,
5:19
Speaker 2: and you just basically what you do. You gotta go
5:22
Speaker 2: just go like this and just go like, what are
5:24
Speaker 2: you doing? I'm just gonna watch these four games. You
5:27
Speaker 2: got anything to do? No, I'm good, I'm just gonna
5:29
Speaker 2: watch these four That's basically what you do. And just yeah,
5:32
Speaker 2: that's the thank you Austin, our director. This is what
5:35
Speaker 2: I do. I go over not a whole I mean,
5:37
Speaker 2: it's not gonna be sold out, nothing like that. So
5:39
Speaker 2: you just kind of sit there like this for four
5:41
Speaker 2: games and you want to get something neat. Yeah, let's
5:43
Speaker 2: get some neat after this one. You're gonna come I'm
5:44
Speaker 2: gonna come back for the other one too. You never
5:47
Speaker 2: get to do that during the season. I never get
5:51
Speaker 2: to watch the games. It's a whole different perspective. That's
5:55
Speaker 2: what you do that too.
5:57
Speaker 3: There will be four games played before Western and you
5:59
Speaker 3: tips off. That's the best, you guys. That that is
6:02
Speaker 3: just sort of like Christmas for you guys.
6:04
Speaker 2: Actually five, right, we play the second game on Wednesday,
6:07
Speaker 2: so there'll be five.
6:08
Speaker 3: You guys will be tied on the first game. You
6:09
Speaker 3: won't be focused on it.
6:10
Speaker 1: And they're just three in the first day.
6:12
Speaker 2: No, four four four four four. It's a landscape between
6:19
Speaker 2: the wrong story printing up.
6:20
Speaker 3: You guys would and then you'll just like walk up
6:22
Speaker 3: and get a barbecue, come back down later the second game.
6:25
Speaker 1: Started, okay, And plus it's juniors.
6:27
Speaker 2: It's junior's first time a tournaments, so we're gonna put
6:30
Speaker 2: a badge on them, say my first time to the
6:32
Speaker 2: Big twelve tournament.
6:33
Speaker 1: You walk them around.
6:34
Speaker 2: Now over here is this over here? Now that's the
6:37
Speaker 2: hall of fame they got to They got a really
6:39
Speaker 2: nice hall of fame.
6:40
Speaker 1: Yeah, they do really.
6:41
Speaker 4: Nice hop you know me at these things. I like,
6:43
Speaker 4: give me games, watching games. I won't know much outside
6:46
Speaker 4: that arena. Let's watch games anyway, let's be fun.
6:50
Speaker 2: So obvious observations. The memorable game against UCF, it could
6:56
Speaker 2: have been we just before we just started. We don't
6:58
Speaker 2: talk before we start, but we did say just literally
7:01
Speaker 2: seconds before I hit the open. If West Virginia had
7:04
Speaker 2: lost the game against UCF, it would have left a
7:10
Speaker 2: permanent scar. Yes, permanent scar. Just would have ruined the mojo.
7:16
Speaker 2: You had this great and that's happened right. I mean
7:19
Speaker 2: a couple of years back when Oklahoma's Oklahoma's state came in.
7:23
Speaker 2: You remember that one Bradley and they didn't have Cad Cunningham,
7:28
Speaker 2: and we're all doing like high fives. Everyone's high five
7:31
Speaker 2: and everybody going we got these guys. And Avery Johnson
7:34
Speaker 2: of the Cowboys came in, scored two hundred and eleven points.
7:37
Speaker 2: I think he had one hundred and seventy two assists,
7:39
Speaker 2: and they just it just like it cuts you and
7:42
Speaker 2: instead who cares? You found a way to win. And
7:46
Speaker 2: now we'll get into that. You see f pretty weird team,
7:51
Speaker 2: huh yeah, in the sense that they play like style
7:54
Speaker 2: that no one else plays. You saw all the schools
7:58
Speaker 2: in this league, and they're the only ones that do that.
8:03
Speaker 2: You seem upset by by their style of play. I
8:05
Speaker 2: don't care about their style of play. They do have
8:08
Speaker 2: really two talented scorers. We talked about that it was
8:10
Speaker 2: going to be Hall and Johnson all day. Johnson ended
8:14
Speaker 2: up getting heated up there in the second half with
8:16
Speaker 2: seven steals and made it really difficult. Keyshawn Hall was
8:19
Speaker 2: just held in check. That was the big Trolls leading
8:22
Speaker 2: scorer coming to that game, and tobyo'connie at all did
8:25
Speaker 2: a great job of locking him up. I mean, just
8:27
Speaker 2: a fantastic job on a guy that's a really elite
8:30
Speaker 2: scorer had forty earlier this year. Bottled him up completely.
8:33
Speaker 1: It was it was a Johnson had ten rushes Forrady
8:35
Speaker 1: Yard was.
8:37
Speaker 4: Well, what's more impressive about Johnson The average four point
8:41
Speaker 4: two yards after contact. That's what's really amazing there. I
8:48
Speaker 4: got the right stats right on this.
8:50
Speaker 1: It is It's perfect.
8:54
Speaker 3: I mean, my goodness, that was a scouting report.
8:58
Speaker 4: Those two dudes were gonna take it and then they
9:00
Speaker 4: were gonna put their shoulders down and draw some contact
9:02
Speaker 4: and then try and get the shot off.
9:04
Speaker 3: So credit West Virginia for final way to get that win.
9:07
Speaker 2: We were sitting in the team room when they started
9:10
Speaker 2: the scout on UCF.
9:12
Speaker 1: And this was in.
9:14
Speaker 2: Salt Lake, yeah, Wednesday, Wednesday, before we left, they had
9:17
Speaker 2: breakfast and they said, okay, let's start. We're going to
9:19
Speaker 2: start now on UCF. And the very first thing they
9:24
Speaker 2: said was the shoulder. They said, guys, and we're just
9:28
Speaker 2: letting you know right now, you better wall up because
9:31
Speaker 2: they will come at you like no one else with
9:34
Speaker 2: their shoulders. And you're right. Darius Johnson and Keishan All. Now,
9:38
Speaker 2: the job they did on Keyshon Hall was absolutely unbelievable.
9:43
Speaker 2: So think about this one. Keishahn Hall comes into the
9:46
Speaker 2: game the leading scorer in the Big Twelve Conference. He
9:50
Speaker 2: had like a couple tenths of a point lead over
9:53
Speaker 2: Javon Small. The only way that Javon Small could win
10:00
Speaker 2: the scoring title would be that he would have to
10:03
Speaker 2: score javan would have to score twenty six points. The
10:11
Speaker 2: only way it could happen is Javon would have to
10:12
Speaker 2: score twenty six and Keishan Hall would have to score
10:17
Speaker 2: six or less. That's the only way that could happen. Well,
10:21
Speaker 2: what happened was and Hall averages eighteen and a half.
10:26
Speaker 2: What happened was Javon got twenty five. He didn't get
10:28
Speaker 2: twenty six, and Hall got six. And so amazingly those
10:34
Speaker 2: two players and the season with exactly five hundred and
10:39
Speaker 2: seventy two points.
10:40
Speaker 1: It's crazy.
10:41
Speaker 2: They share the scoring title in the Big twelve and
10:45
Speaker 2: just amazing. So that's awesome for Javon and I look
10:48
Speaker 2: through the Big twelve numbers today, My goodness, his name
10:52
Speaker 2: is just all over all.
10:54
Speaker 1: Of the category.
10:55
Speaker 3: Should be Big twelve Player of the Year.
10:56
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably doesn't get it. Should be Big twelve Player
10:59
Speaker 1: the year. Just put it, just put it down. Don't
11:01
Speaker 1: overthink it. Coaches, Big twelve Player of the.
11:03
Speaker 2: Year, think about this. Javan has scored over a thousand
11:06
Speaker 2: points in his last two seasons Oak State and West Virginia.
11:11
Speaker 4: I've got some more stuff coming up, bunch ofvon and
11:13
Speaker 4: spreads on stats. Just you can't say enough about the
11:16
Speaker 4: year that that guy has had just incredible.
11:19
Speaker 2: Time for Hobby Hoppy's obvious observations, obviously they're not sponsored
11:24
Speaker 2: by anyone.
11:25
Speaker 1: No one.
11:27
Speaker 3: First believe it or not, I do put some thought
11:29
Speaker 3: into this before we start, I might.
11:31
Speaker 2: Want nod I oftentimes talk about it. Look at all
11:34
Speaker 2: the work Hopy does on his obvious observations.
11:36
Speaker 3: The first is that at halftime, I thought, well, I
11:39
Speaker 3: got my theme now is the game was over in
11:41
Speaker 3: the first five minutes.
11:43
Speaker 1: Had to rethink that in the second half.
11:46
Speaker 3: And as we talked about, you know, West Virginia and
11:49
Speaker 3: Brad'll have stats on this, West Virginia start turning the
11:51
Speaker 3: ball over and not scoring, and and props to USF.
11:55
Speaker 3: I thought they would cash it in CF. You see,
11:59
Speaker 3: I thought they would, but they didn't. So props to
12:01
Speaker 3: them for coming out and playing hard, making a game
12:03
Speaker 3: of it. And it would have been devastating. Would to
12:05
Speaker 3: put a black mark on the season if you don't
12:07
Speaker 3: lost the game. But West Virginia wins the game more
12:08
Speaker 3: on spread zone stats than that. Second thing is I
12:12
Speaker 3: was thinking about sports and fandom and joy and one
12:17
Speaker 3: of the complaints about the current system, whatever it is
12:21
Speaker 3: in college sports, is that you don't get players for
12:25
Speaker 3: four years or even three years, and there's so much
12:29
Speaker 3: mobility that takes place.
12:32
Speaker 1: But there's validity to that.
12:35
Speaker 3: And again the stat is only seven players in the
12:37
Speaker 3: Big Twelve have played four years at the same institution.
12:40
Speaker 3: But also the current system gives you an opportunity and
12:44
Speaker 3: what do we say, Tony, every change is an opportunity
12:47
Speaker 3: to improve.
12:47
Speaker 1: You see that for years.
12:48
Speaker 3: It gives you an opportunity to go get a guy,
12:51
Speaker 3: to go get guys, and without the current system, you
12:55
Speaker 3: would not have gotten a Javon Small. So the joy
12:59
Speaker 3: is as wanting more. You can say, boy, I wish
13:01
Speaker 3: we had him for a couple years, wish he was
13:03
Speaker 3: going to be here next year.
13:03
Speaker 1: But you had him for a year. You had a
13:05
Speaker 1: generational player here for a year, and for that, I
13:10
Speaker 1: think there's great joy associated with that. Number one.
13:13
Speaker 3: The second part about joy is that going into this season,
13:16
Speaker 3: there was zero expectations for variety of reasons. We've talked
13:19
Speaker 3: about a lot different Coach of riesaid after the game,
13:22
Speaker 3: you know, people probably thought we're only gonna win fifteen
13:25
Speaker 3: or sixteen games, and here we I'm not sure about
13:28
Speaker 3: win in fifteen or sixteen.
13:30
Speaker 1: I mean we were thinking in nine, ten, eleven, twelve,
13:32
Speaker 1: something like that.
13:33
Speaker 3: So there were no expectations, and this team wildly exceeded expectations,
13:39
Speaker 3: and that brings great joy when there are great expectations
13:42
Speaker 3: as to.
13:43
Speaker 1: What you're going to do.
13:44
Speaker 3: Oftentimes we end up with disappointment because the thought would be, well,
13:48
Speaker 3: this team's gonna win twenty games, they're probably going to
13:50
Speaker 3: be in the sweet sixteen, and then if they do
13:52
Speaker 3: go well, they reach expectations. If they don't go, boy,
13:54
Speaker 3: that's disappointing. With no expectations, there's a different kind of
13:58
Speaker 3: joy associated with that. You could really have fun with
14:01
Speaker 3: this team. You could say almost every game, you could go,
14:04
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, this is wonderful. We didn't expect this.
14:07
Speaker 1: What fun this is?
14:09
Speaker 3: This is we're just playing with house money. So it's
14:12
Speaker 3: not the same as maybe going to the Final four,
14:14
Speaker 3: and I don't think this team will. But there is
14:17
Speaker 3: a special kind of joy associated with a team like
14:21
Speaker 3: this that wildly exceeds any expectation.
14:25
Speaker 1: Let me say that about all that.
14:27
Speaker 2: I think that's his best obvious observations ever. Rad when
14:32
Speaker 2: you put work into that makes total sense. How many
14:35
Speaker 2: times through the years have mountaineer fans, well, they know this.
14:40
Speaker 2: If you're a mountaineer fan, you know you'll know this.
14:42
Speaker 2: When the expectations are high, it never seems to materialize,
14:48
Speaker 2: and you walk around and you're just bummed out. And
14:51
Speaker 2: then this is just sport in general. When the expectations
14:53
Speaker 2: are low or there are none and you have success. Right,
14:57
Speaker 2: those are giddy moments. Yeah, you go back to the
15:00
Speaker 2: beeline teams that we saw, he builds that team, like
15:03
Speaker 2: those are some of the iconic moments, right, and so yeah,
15:08
Speaker 2: you're exactly right. This kind of see this whole season
15:11
Speaker 2: has been playing with house money.
15:12
Speaker 1: And you start the year off and you go to
15:14
Speaker 1: the Bahamas and you go like, whoa, Yeah was that lightning?
15:18
Speaker 1: That one game? Was that Gonzaga? Is that lightning?
15:19
Speaker 2: You come back the next game and you go, oh,
15:21
Speaker 2: just got beaten overtime by Louisville. And you come back
15:23
Speaker 2: and you get Arizona and you go like, whoa, this
15:26
Speaker 2: for real? We can win some games. Yeah, to me,
15:31
Speaker 2: season is nover. This is one of the And again
15:35
Speaker 2: put this into context, this is truly one of the
15:38
Speaker 2: great seasons in West Virginia basketball history for the simple
15:41
Speaker 2: fact that no players came back and every single staff member,
15:45
Speaker 2: with the exception of athletic trainer Randy Metter, is the
15:49
Speaker 2: only guy that came back. Everything else in that building
15:52
Speaker 2: is new, and for you to do this, it's hard
15:54
Speaker 2: to get to the league. Yeah, it's hard to get
15:57
Speaker 2: to the NCAA tournament. If you've got an established found
16:00
Speaker 2: and system, it's hard. And to do it here at
16:03
Speaker 2: this point, that's one of all timers to make and the.
16:06
Speaker 1: Way you did it.
16:08
Speaker 3: You talked about the tournament of Bahamas, winning road games,
16:11
Speaker 3: playing hard, the play of Javon Small, the emergence of Hansbury,
16:15
Speaker 3: those kinds.
16:15
Speaker 1: Of things, loss of Tucker DeVoe. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Jaden
16:18
Speaker 1: Stone never stepped onto the floor. That makes it a
16:22
Speaker 1: huge one.
16:23
Speaker 4: It's one of the more remarkable coaching jobs I've ever seen.
16:27
Speaker 4: It's one of the more remarkable jobs by a roster
16:29
Speaker 4: that had never played together that I've ever seen. And
16:32
Speaker 4: I know that sounds like a lot, and I really
16:33
Speaker 4: don't think I'm overstating at Hopey. It was absolutely incredible
16:36
Speaker 4: what this group has been able to do in such
16:38
Speaker 4: a short time. And listen on this program. We have
16:42
Speaker 4: talked for a number of years about the positive side
16:46
Speaker 4: of the portal. I know everybody kills the portal and
16:49
Speaker 4: there's plenty of reasons to find why you want to
16:51
Speaker 4: get on the way the current system is constructed. I
16:53
Speaker 4: get it, But the one thing we have said consistently
16:56
Speaker 4: on this show is it gives you the best chance
16:58
Speaker 4: to rebuild and.
16:59
Speaker 3: Go get players. You're gonna lose players.
17:01
Speaker 4: You can also go get a lot and we can
17:02
Speaker 4: go down the list of players that have been added
17:04
Speaker 4: here over the last few years that have turned into
17:06
Speaker 4: great players. There is zero percent chance you could have
17:09
Speaker 4: flipped the house like you did this past year without
17:12
Speaker 4: the portal rule as being what they are, true, every
17:14
Speaker 4: single player that played a second this year was brand new.
17:17
Speaker 4: The ability to go get a Javon Small, a Toby o'connie,
17:20
Speaker 4: a Joe Yesfu. Just go right down the list that
17:22
Speaker 4: changed the face of this program. And I'll say this, guys,
17:27
Speaker 4: I keep saying what an unbelievable coaching job it was
17:30
Speaker 4: and is, And that's Darren and this staff. And how
17:33
Speaker 4: about I said before Darren DeVries got here, this was
17:36
Speaker 4: an unbelievable higher that this guy was elite. After being
17:39
Speaker 4: around him every day for the last nine months, Westfordinney
17:41
Speaker 4: has got a fantastic basketball coach. Is he's elite and
17:45
Speaker 4: that staff is really good as well.
17:47
Speaker 1: They have done a fantastic job.
17:48
Speaker 4: Give a lot of credit to these players, these guys
17:51
Speaker 4: have stayed in there and fought and battled, and I
17:54
Speaker 4: think a debt of gratitude and respect to all these
17:57
Speaker 4: guys on the roster, but in particular Javon Small, Toby o'connie,
18:02
Speaker 4: Joe Yesafu, Eduardo Andre, Jake Auer, those guys that came in,
18:06
Speaker 4: you're only going to get one year out of them.
18:08
Speaker 4: That's an unbelievable amount of production and resilience from that group.
18:13
Speaker 4: Just simply incredible for those guys. They were able to
18:16
Speaker 4: rebuild a program that was at rock bottom and now
18:19
Speaker 4: had that positioned in one year to get back in
18:22
Speaker 4: the NCAA tournament and set this thing up for success
18:25
Speaker 4: moving forward. Simply incredible for those guys. Javon Small has
18:29
Speaker 4: been a basketball shirpa. You know the guys that climb
18:34
Speaker 4: up Mount Evidence, Mount Everest and they get all the credit,
18:38
Speaker 4: but really there's a schrpa with about two hundred pounds
18:40
Speaker 4: a pack on their back climbing up Mount Everest, And
18:44
Speaker 4: what have you done.
18:45
Speaker 3: With Javon Small, especially with Tuck a Rezo. It's just
18:47
Speaker 3: like put everything on his back. Here, score, make the three,
18:53
Speaker 3: drive to the basket, handle the ball. Ninety percent of
18:56
Speaker 3: the time. Yeah, get assists, play defense, play thirty eight
19:01
Speaker 3: minutes a game basketball.
19:03
Speaker 4: Sir, he's a big he's the Big twelve Player of
19:05
Speaker 4: the Year, and he should be a first team All
19:06
Speaker 4: American period, end the story. I don't know if he'll
19:09
Speaker 4: get either of those because I don't know there's been
19:11
Speaker 4: enough people that vote on those things that have watched
19:13
Speaker 4: him continuously or enough and certainly not as much as
19:16
Speaker 4: we have.
19:17
Speaker 3: That's what that guy is.
19:18
Speaker 4: That's a first team All American and Big twelve Player
19:20
Speaker 4: of the Year, simple as that, full stop.
19:22
Speaker 3: Here's the problem is that you didn't get You didn't
19:24
Speaker 3: get to see him like nationally, he didn'tet to see
19:26
Speaker 3: him enough because most of the games won ESPN plus
19:29
Speaker 3: didn't get to see him enough. Right here, let me
19:32
Speaker 3: put another number to this spreading perspective. No, it's not yet.
19:35
Speaker 3: I got a bunch for that, so subtlely, our.
19:38
Speaker 4: Buddy Evan Miakawa Evanmedia dot com, Evan m i y
19:42
Speaker 4: a dot com. He has a designation for teams that
19:46
Speaker 4: are dealing with significant injury, so he ranks like a
19:48
Speaker 4: ken palm wood. He ranks all the teams and he
19:51
Speaker 4: puts a little designation by ones that are dealing with,
19:53
Speaker 4: as he phrases a hop significant injuries.
19:57
Speaker 1: I think West Virginia qualifies. Yeah.
19:58
Speaker 4: Absolutely, take an NBA I like Tuckertivies out of your
20:01
Speaker 4: lineup after eight games. I think that's dealing with significant injuries.
20:03
Speaker 4: To say nothing of Jaden Stone twenty points a game
20:06
Speaker 4: last year that never had the opportunity to suit up
20:08
Speaker 4: and play for you.
20:09
Speaker 3: So you take.
20:10
Speaker 4: Evanmia dot COM's rankings of the teams with those designations
20:13
Speaker 4: with significant injuries.
20:15
Speaker 1: You ready for this, Tony listening? This is amazing.
20:17
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's only six teams in the country ranked ahead
20:20
Speaker 4: of West Virginia and have the significant injury designation. Say
20:25
Speaker 4: that again, there's only six teams in the country, according
20:27
Speaker 4: to evanmia dot com, that are dealing with significant injuries
20:31
Speaker 4: as West Virginia is and are ranked better or higher
20:35
Speaker 4: than West Virginia is.
20:36
Speaker 3: Only six teams.
20:37
Speaker 4: WHOA, that's incredible after an entire season of games played.
20:43
Speaker 1: How many games? Thirty three one thirty one games?
20:46
Speaker 4: Thirty one games after an entire season. If you take
20:50
Speaker 4: a look at offensive efficiency in what West Virginia's best
20:53
Speaker 4: lineup is, it includes Tuckertivies.
20:57
Speaker 1: WHOA wait, well, whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa Wait stop,
21:01
Speaker 1: wait a minute, I say that was playing. I'm doing
21:03

21:06
Speaker 2: Well, Dave's coming home significant number homeless, Dave's at the door, hoppy.
21:11
Speaker 2: We got to get him in anyway, get him. No, no, no,
21:13
Speaker 2: Austin's going to get him. Go ahead, say it now.
21:16
Speaker 4: After an entire season thirty one games also on evanmea
21:19
Speaker 4: dot com, he tracks as as some other sites do.
21:22
Speaker 1: We reference this occasionally.
21:24
Speaker 4: The best most efficient lineups for West Virginia offensively defensively overall,
21:29
Speaker 4: the best offensive lineup efficiency wise for West Virginia includes
21:34
Speaker 4: Tucker Devrees.
21:37
Speaker 1: And played eight games.
21:38
Speaker 3: You want another one?
21:39
Speaker 1: Yeah.
21:40
Speaker 4: The best lineup for West Virginia defensively the shop thirteenth
21:45
Speaker 4: ranked defense in the country. The best defensive lineup efficiency
21:49
Speaker 4: wise for West Virginia includes Tucker Devrees.
21:52
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, Tucker the end of the eraser and you.
21:55
Speaker 4: Got to buy in the Big twelve tournament and you
21:57
Speaker 4: got yourself back in the NCAA tournament. Absolutely remarkable. And again,
22:01
Speaker 4: I know Darren won't win Coach of the Year, should
22:05
Speaker 4: get some votes for Coach of the Year and really
22:06
Speaker 4: should win win the thing. Unbelievable job given what this
22:10
Speaker 4: team has dealt with all season. Just simply incredible. Can't
22:13
Speaker 4: say enough about it. And those are just a couple
22:15
Speaker 4: of numbers.
22:15
Speaker 1: There to put it in a little bit of perspective.
22:18
Speaker 2: That's an ald timer, that is that's incredible. Yeah, that's
22:21
Speaker 2: a that's an absolute old timer.
22:23
Speaker 1: So who will get Coach of the Year. Probably Houston,
22:27
Speaker 1: probably right.
22:29
Speaker 3: It was incredible what Houston did to give you this
22:31
Speaker 3: league with one loss.
22:32
Speaker 1: That's pretty remarkable. Yeah.
22:34
Speaker 3: Again, your preseason number one pick, weren't you?
22:36
Speaker 1: Yeah, and you won the league.
22:38
Speaker 2: Yeah, But as you know, sometimes it's not who who
22:42
Speaker 2: who you know who took three pieces of bad wood
22:45
Speaker 2: and made a house?
22:46
Speaker 1: As much as Yeah, that's philosophical.
22:47
Speaker 3: I just I usually disagree with that theory.
22:50
Speaker 4: I'm always a guy that sides with We've talked about
22:54
Speaker 4: this with a Randy Maze before, We've talked about with
22:56
Speaker 4: Neil Brown before. I may your expectations are low, and
22:59
Speaker 4: you supersede those expectations by a lot. That to me's
23:03
Speaker 4: a Coach of the Year, and I thought Darren fits
23:05
Speaker 4: that profile perfectly.
23:06
Speaker 2: I don't disagree, and Darren got the mid season National
23:08
Speaker 2: Coach of the Year from the the The heck was
23:12
Speaker 2: that organization?
23:13
Speaker 1: Whoever does it? Who votes on Coach of the Year
23:15
Speaker 1: in the league? Coaches?
23:16
Speaker 2: The coaches, Yeah, as long as they don't give it
23:18
Speaker 2: to their sids.
23:20
Speaker 1: There's a chance. There's a chance there.
23:24
Speaker 4: I think the record shows in this league it's generally
23:26
Speaker 4: the team that wins it. These coaches usually ago with
23:28
Speaker 4: the team that wins it.
23:29
Speaker 1: Three guys before the game.

27:30
Speaker 4: No.
27:31
Speaker 3: Second most field goal attempts on the season in this game,
27:35
Speaker 3: Wow for West Virginia. How many fifty eight?
27:38
Speaker 1: No? Way more than that. Sixty six?
27:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, sixty eight was the Higgens. Can't say you almost
27:43
Speaker 4: had more field goal attempts at halftime than you did
27:47
Speaker 4: in a handful of games throughout the season. That first
27:50
Speaker 4: half wash was unbelievable. Let's let's take a look at
27:53
Speaker 4: that for just a second. West Virginia with forty seven
27:56
Speaker 4: points in that first half, scored on twenty of its
27:59
Speaker 4: thirty five possessions.
28:01
Speaker 1: Was that the most and a half read, I don't
28:02
Speaker 1: have to go back and look. It had to have
28:04
Speaker 1: been the forty seven. Yeah, that'ks a good question.
28:07
Speaker 4: And you were absolutely running them scored on twenty to
28:11
Speaker 4: thirty five. Said, I've said this a bunch. If you
28:13
Speaker 4: average one point one points per possession throughout the season,
28:17
Speaker 4: you'll lead the country in that category. West Virginia was
28:20
Speaker 4: one point three in the first half was hot. Javon
28:24
Speaker 4: was unbelievable. We're going to get into specifics on Javon
28:27
Speaker 4: here in just a second, because it was just a
28:29
Speaker 4: massive game for Javon. You also had the most threes
28:32
Speaker 4: that you've had all season in a big twelve game,
28:35
Speaker 4: twelve of them. So you didn't shoot a great percentage,
28:37
Speaker 4: only thirty two percent, but you had twelve. Five of
28:39
Speaker 4: those came from Jonathan Powell. Four in the second half
28:42
Speaker 4: by JP, and man did you need him. So we'll
28:44
Speaker 4: get into JP's performance as well.
28:46
Speaker 1: I think that last one was important.
28:47
Speaker 3: That might have That was the game right there. It
28:50
Speaker 3: was down to three. Weird things happen when it's one
28:53
Speaker 3: possession corner three from JP. Bang had to have it.
28:56
Speaker 4: No real resistance at the rim. I thought this was
28:58
Speaker 4: interesting given the right size and the great shot blocker
29:01
Speaker 4: and chom that UCF has. West Virginia seventy three percent
29:05
Speaker 4: field goal percentage at the rim so really impressive. Didn't
29:08
Speaker 4: have a ton of them, but seventy three percent. And
29:09
Speaker 4: then here's a number. It just stayed consistent all year.
29:12
Speaker 4: West Virginia out rebounded UCF moves to eleven to zher
29:16
Speaker 4: when out rebounding its opponent.
29:18
Speaker 3: And undefeated when doing that, and big on the offensive boards.
29:22
Speaker 3: I'll get to that too, huge on.
29:23
Speaker 1: The offensive boards.
29:25
Speaker 4: Thirteen and three West Virige. I got to go back
29:27
Speaker 4: to the mad threes. Now, thirteen and three record for
29:31
Speaker 4: West Virginia when it makes nine or more threes.
29:34
Speaker 1: Incredible.
29:35
Speaker 4: Here's a wild number. You don't see this very often,
29:38
Speaker 4: and this is the reason the game looked like it did.
29:40
Speaker 4: In the first half. West Virginia doing exactly what it
29:43
Speaker 4: thought it would do. Thought you could turn over UCF
29:46
Speaker 4: quite a bit as much as they iso the ball handlers,
29:49
Speaker 4: thought you could have successor fourteen to two points off
29:52
Speaker 4: turnover advantage. In the first half, you're rolling, You're absolutely
29:56
Speaker 4: embarrassing UCF, running them out of the gym. But than
30:00
Speaker 4: the second half came and it kind of switched. It's
30:02
Speaker 4: an unbelievable flip. So fourteen to two points off turnovers
30:06
Speaker 4: in the first half, you lost the points off turnover
30:09
Speaker 4: battle fifteen to.
30:10
Speaker 3: Two in the second half.
30:11
Speaker 1: That's a wild Yeah.
30:12
Speaker 4: That was Darius Johnson. We mentioned his offensive prowess and
30:15
Speaker 4: his ability to get shots up. He finishes with seven steals,
30:19
Speaker 4: and really that was the story of two halves. He
30:21
Speaker 4: and Hall each had six turnovers apiece, so their primary
30:25
Speaker 4: guys with the ball in their hand turned it over
30:26
Speaker 4: twelve times. But then in the second half, in particular,
30:30
Speaker 4: Johnson starts getting some steals and he had some unbelievable
30:33
Speaker 4: strips right guys that were going in and he thought
30:35
Speaker 4: there was either going to be a foul, gets the
30:37
Speaker 4: free throw line or a bucket. Johnson comes in and
30:39
Speaker 4: strips it and then that's really what led the comeback
30:41
Speaker 4: for UCF. They were able to get out and transition,
30:44
Speaker 4: and that was one of the things West Virginia was
30:46
Speaker 4: most worried about this team. They talked all week about
30:49
Speaker 4: you've got to get back, You've got to get back.
30:51
Speaker 4: They want to push and run, and in the first half,
30:53
Speaker 4: UCF just couldn't get that going. There was nothing to
30:55
Speaker 4: no balls to get. They weren't stopping anybody defensively, West
30:59
Speaker 4: Virginia was just running out on them.
31:00
Speaker 1: Second half that totally flipped What was Do you have
31:02
Speaker 1: a turnover second half by West Virginia? Yeah, because I think.
31:06
Speaker 3: It was eleven. I think they had total. They have
31:10
Speaker 3: three in the first half, correct, and they had eleven
31:12
Speaker 3: in the second half. I'm not mistaken.
31:14
Speaker 1: They had thirteen excuse me, thirteen the second half. Wow.
31:20
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's how you lose three in the first half
31:23
Speaker 3: thirteen in the second half. I mean there's games this season,
31:25
Speaker 3: most games West Virginia didn't have thirteen turnovers, So I
31:29
Speaker 3: give credit to UC if they stayed around, I mean,
31:31
Speaker 3: that was that would have been easy for a team
31:33
Speaker 3: that is really struggling, maybe they have a coaching change
31:36
Speaker 3: last game of the year.
31:37
Speaker 4: They're getting absolutely blitzed in their final game, and they
31:40
Speaker 4: stayed in it, So I give them a lot of credit.
31:42
Speaker 4: At the most points in a game this season off
31:45
Speaker 4: isolations for West Virginia and that's Javon and I'm going
31:48
Speaker 4: to get into him specifically in a minute, but they
31:50
Speaker 4: just simply couldn't guard him, so he had his most
31:52
Speaker 4: points there off isolations. That's something West Virdiniy does only
31:55
Speaker 4: about five percent of the time on the season and
31:58
Speaker 4: its possessions, but it persented itself a bunch in this
32:00
Speaker 4: particular game. I like to talk about catch and shoots
32:05
Speaker 4: and unguarded shots, and I usually do that as it
32:07
Speaker 4: relates to the offensive side. Yeah, let's instead talk defense
32:12
Speaker 4: for a second, because We probably didn't spend enough time
32:16
Speaker 4: giving credit to this West Virginia defense.
32:18
Speaker 1: Are you appreciating what it did this year?
32:21
Speaker 4: There's no starter in the lineup listed above six', eight
32:24
Speaker 4: AND i think that might be generous on a couple
32:26
Speaker 4: of those. Guys and this team finished top fifteen nationally
32:29
Speaker 4: in effective field goal defense and finished top ten in
32:32
Speaker 4: opponent three point. Defense you talk about a group of
32:34
Speaker 4: guys that listened to what this coaching staff wanted it
32:37
Speaker 4: to do and play, defensively and then executed that almost
32:41
Speaker 4: every game all. Season it's really remarkable what they. Did
32:44
Speaker 4: that shows up in these unguarded catch and shoot shots
32:47
Speaker 4: that you just don't get a lot of.
32:49
Speaker 3: Them Against West.
32:49
Speaker 4: Virginia in the game, YESTERDAY ucf had seventeen catch and
32:53
Speaker 4: shoot jumpers seventeen on the, day fourteen of them were.
32:57
Speaker 4: Guarded they got three open on goal guarded looks.
33:00
Speaker 3: On the entire.
33:01
Speaker 4: Day if you go BACK i won't do every, game
33:04
Speaker 4: but just go back over the last few thirteen, guarded
33:07
Speaker 4: six on guarded the game before Against utah eight and
33:10
Speaker 4: three guarded versus unguarded ten and, three eight and, seven
33:14
Speaker 4: nine and, four sixteen and, two fifteen and, seven sixteen and.
33:18
Speaker 4: One you have to go all the way back to
33:21
Speaker 4: the loss AT tcu to find a game where it
33:23
Speaker 4: was just equal in u guarded and. Guarded that's, one, two, three, four,
33:29
Speaker 4: five six. Seven that's nine games before you can find
33:32
Speaker 4: a game that a team had more. Unguardeds you want
33:35
Speaker 4: to know why this team had success in one games
33:37
Speaker 4: guarded that they guarded at a really elite level.
33:41
Speaker 1: Guarded hopy. Guarded they. Guard it runs good, stuff they, guard, Yes.
33:45
Speaker 4: And that's what we've said about this Under darren and
33:48
Speaker 4: this program moving. Forward that's what's really. Impressive they run
33:51
Speaker 4: as good of offensive sets as anybody in this, league
33:54
Speaker 4: and then they guard as well as anybody in this.
33:57
Speaker 4: League that is a tough combination to find In West
33:59
Speaker 4: virginia has?
34:00
Speaker 1: It CAN i? Interrupt so you know WHAT i think that?
34:02
Speaker 1: Means what that says to, me just you, know we
34:07
Speaker 1: throw that. Around just do your. Job we always say, that,
34:09
Speaker 1: like just do your. Job why is it?
34:12
Speaker 2: Successful because each of those guys did their. Job you
34:16
Speaker 2: did not have an outlier who just like refuse to,
34:21
Speaker 2: guard and the coaching staff would go, Like Kirchie will
34:23
Speaker 2: just won't. Guard he refuses to defend. Refused they didn't
34:27
Speaker 2: have one of. Those now that's hard to. Do now
34:30
Speaker 2: you might, say well you just sit the guy with, you,
34:34
Speaker 2: now you really you. Couldn't so they had to have
34:36
Speaker 2: complete buy. In and there are others that there are
34:39
Speaker 2: guys that are better than. Others but as long as
34:42
Speaker 2: you put the, attempt and that's why this thing.
34:45
Speaker 1: Works it's.
34:45
Speaker 2: True it's the true definition of sport and. Team if
34:50
Speaker 2: everyone just does their, job things work out pretty.
34:52
Speaker 4: WELL i think you said what the key was, there
34:54
Speaker 4: and don't gloss over that there wasn't enough of a
34:57
Speaker 4: bench due to injuries that you could just, say, oh
35:00
Speaker 4: you're not doing your, job get, out just sit, down
35:02
Speaker 4: we just won't play.
35:02
Speaker 3: It you did not have that.
35:03
Speaker 4: Luxury you had to have every guy on this roster
35:06
Speaker 4: that played produced for you at some point or.
35:09
Speaker 1: Points and it. Did it just.
35:11
Speaker 4: Did everybody gave. Contributions i've said it. Before you're playing
35:14
Speaker 4: a lot of guys with very little, experience RIGHT kJ
35:18
Speaker 4: Tenor Jonathan, powell true freshman playing big roles on this
35:22
Speaker 4: team sincere In. Amani i'm not getting a money in a.
35:25
Speaker 4: Minute guys that just haven't played a lot of games
35:27
Speaker 4: at this level were incredibly important pieces to, you and
35:30
Speaker 4: you just got yourself to THE ncaa tournament doing. That
35:33
Speaker 4: let's talk About vaughn for a. SECOND i, said what was,
35:35
Speaker 4: It Tony? On maybe the third offensive possession of the?
35:38
Speaker 4: Night HOP i said to him on the, BROADCAST i,
35:40
Speaker 4: Said javaon can have a monster night tonight literally used
35:44
Speaker 4: that term monster.
35:44
Speaker 3: Night they were not close to, Him they.
35:47
Speaker 4: Couldn't find, him they weren't interested in guarding him for
35:49
Speaker 4: a lot of that, time and he was getting some
35:51
Speaker 4: wide open.
35:51
Speaker 3: LOOKS i thought he might go for.
35:53
Speaker 4: Forty that certainly slowed he was on pace for that
35:55
Speaker 4: slowed down in the second half because they tightened their defense.
35:58
Speaker 3: Up but what a night for.
35:59
Speaker 4: Him five, points seven, rebounds nine. Assists just an incredible
36:03
Speaker 4: night again For, javon.
36:05
Speaker 1: Like sixteen in the first ten minutes or. Something he
36:09
Speaker 1: was hot and he knew he was.
36:10
Speaker 4: Hot that's as aggressive As i've seen him trying to
36:12
Speaker 4: score in the first, half which you want out of, Him.
36:15
Speaker 4: Tony you mentioned about he And Kishan hall tying for
36:18
Speaker 4: The big twelve lead in, scoring which is which is.
36:21
Speaker 4: Incredible but think about, this, guys and this is why
36:24
Speaker 4: The player of The year to me would be a no.
36:25
Speaker 4: Brainer javon did that while getting doubled every single, night
36:29
Speaker 4: face guard sometimes face guarded as if we were in
36:32
Speaker 4: fifth grade.
36:32
Speaker 3: YOUTH i, mean that's just.
36:35
Speaker 4: Unbelievable every night face doubles sometimes triples. Teams and here's
36:40
Speaker 4: what jumped to me to kind of illustrate, that if
36:41
Speaker 4: you want to put a number to, that because everybody
36:43
Speaker 4: listening to this podcast already knows that because they watch the.
36:45
Speaker 4: Game it's the national folks THAT i don't think realized
36:48
Speaker 4: the attention in the junk defenses that teams tried to
36:51
Speaker 4: throw At javon simply to take him. Out but here
36:53
Speaker 4: here's a NUMBER i think that illustrates. This Keishawn hall
36:57
Speaker 4: Ties javon for the scoring. Lead Keyshawn hall's Teammate Darius
37:02
Speaker 4: johnson finished, Sixth so you couldn't face Guard Keishawn hall
37:05
Speaker 4: Because Darian johnson would go get you, forty get thirty
37:08
Speaker 4: seven at a. Night West virginia's next best scorer isn't
37:11
Speaker 4: among the top twenty five in the. League only team
37:15
Speaker 4: without two guys. There tucker would have finished fourteenth had
37:19
Speaker 4: he just averaged what he did for the first eight.
37:21
Speaker 4: Games throughout an entire season might average, more but we
37:24
Speaker 4: keep saying Take tucker out of that. Lineup it changed it.
37:26
Speaker 4: Offensively West virginia then had to rely on guys and
37:29
Speaker 4: it could be a different guy every. Night and that's
37:31
Speaker 4: part of WHY i give these players so much. Credit
37:34
Speaker 4: there wasn't a second consistent scorer all season LIKE ucf
37:38
Speaker 4: Had Kishawan hall And Darry. Johnson you had to mismatch
37:41
Speaker 4: it in. There sometimes it was a money sometimes it WAS,
37:43
Speaker 4: jp sometimes it Was. JOE yesifu really speaks to how
37:46
Speaker 4: good this team was, collectively BUT i thought that really
37:49
Speaker 4: jumped to. Me Keyshawn hall leads the league in, scoring
37:52
Speaker 4: his teammate. Sixth Javon small leads the league in. Scoring
37:56
Speaker 4: doesn't have somebody else in the top twenty.
37:57
Speaker 1: Five pretty.
37:58
Speaker 4: Remarkable speaking Of jonathan season high five, Threes so how about?
38:02
Speaker 4: That what a time to get your season high five?
38:04
Speaker 4: Threes made four of them in the second half when
38:06
Speaker 4: you had to have. THEM jp had six in the
38:10
Speaker 4: previous five. Games total six threes in the previous five.
38:13
Speaker 4: Games busts out, Five thank you very. Much that's his
38:15
Speaker 4: most made threes Since january, fourth Versus Oloma State Oklahoma.
38:20
Speaker 4: State pretty good BY jpa had four in that. Game
38:22
Speaker 4: how About Amani. Hansbury don't look, now BUT mani is
38:26
Speaker 4: playing some ball. Guys another double double, yet eighteen, points ten,
38:30
Speaker 4: rebounds six offensive. Rebounds he was six of seven from
38:35
Speaker 4: the field from two point, range many of them against
38:38
Speaker 4: a FUTURE nba dude who's seven to. Two amani massively
38:42
Speaker 4: undersized all season and wasn't just a three point shooter,
38:45
Speaker 4: yesterday win.
38:46
Speaker 3: Inside and was a.
38:47
Speaker 4: Dude huge defensive rebound at the end of the game
38:50
Speaker 4: when you had to have it as. Well that's his
38:52
Speaker 4: fourth double double on the. Season three have come in
38:56
Speaker 4: the last six. Games talk about a guy that's playing
38:59
Speaker 4: and get figured out how and we talk about you've
39:01
Speaker 4: got to play guys with inexperience at. Times but what
39:03
Speaker 4: happens after thirty one games he started to turn into a.
39:06
Speaker 4: Dude Amani hansbury's turning into a. Dude i'm really excited about.
39:10
Speaker 4: Him if he returns here To West virginia can keep
39:12
Speaker 4: him locked. Up if he, returns everybody's. Available what about,
39:16
Speaker 4: You i'm Not i'm.
39:18
Speaker 1: Standing they got a. Commitment first member of the class
39:24
Speaker 1: senators back.
39:24
Speaker 4: In give me some More i'm riding. This Mentioned toby o'cannie.
39:28
Speaker 4: Too just what a great effort by him To tony
39:30
Speaker 4: you said he bought into what his role was going to.
39:33
Speaker 4: Be specifically last. Night he ends up with eight rebounds
39:36
Speaker 4: in the, game seven offensive rebounds between he And. Amani
39:40
Speaker 4: those two had thirteen offensive rebounds, yesterday.
39:43
Speaker 3: And those two, remarkable each of those two on those
39:46
Speaker 3: missed free throws at the end of the, Game amani
39:48
Speaker 3: got one And toby got me a tip on one two.
39:51
Speaker 4: Pick toby had about four plays in the final three
39:54
Speaker 4: minutes that a couple of them didn't show up on
39:56
Speaker 4: the box. Score that you don't win that game without
39:58
Speaker 4: doing what he. Did and, again he who was the
40:00
Speaker 4: primary defender On Keyshawn hall most of the, night held
40:02
Speaker 4: him too one for, ten Had hall absolutely flummoxed in
40:05
Speaker 4: the first half when that game was ultimately Decided to
40:09
Speaker 4: mentioned Sincere harris Real, quick last night was his eighteenth
40:12
Speaker 4: game with two or more steals in the. Game West
40:15
Speaker 4: virginia's twelve and six in those. Games eighteen games with
40:19
Speaker 4: two or more. Steals we've talked about it all, Year,
40:21
Speaker 4: hopey you think his on ball defense matters to this?
40:25
Speaker 4: Team you think it can change games when he is
40:28
Speaker 4: guarding at an elite. Level West virginia only had seven
40:32
Speaker 4: wins on the season when he had less than two.
40:34
Speaker 4: Steals and are you ready for this? Stat only two
40:38
Speaker 4: Of West virginia's Ten Big twelve wins came when he
40:41
Speaker 4: didn't have two plus. Steals you think he mattered when
40:44
Speaker 4: the games mattered the most and you got the most
40:46
Speaker 4: talent on the. Floor you stuck a guy out there
40:48
Speaker 4: that could stay with anybody in this, league and he
40:50
Speaker 4: made a. Difference when he had two. Steals you won
40:53
Speaker 4: eight of your Ten Big twelve. Games it's a pretty
40:55
Speaker 4: remarkable stat for a guy that's Not you don't need
40:58
Speaker 4: him much on. Offense you need his defense and can change.
41:01
Speaker 4: It that's a telling.
41:02
Speaker 1: STAT i, thought talk about the technical super.
41:05
Speaker 2: WEIRD i Still i'm going to talk to these guys
41:07
Speaker 2: to our staff today AND i need to get explained
41:10
Speaker 2: to me and needs to be explained to me.
41:12
Speaker 1: Exactly what that.
41:13
Speaker 2: Was because the ball got the ball rolled down on
41:17
Speaker 2: the floor after the, call and he was mad and
41:19
Speaker 2: he was walking down the other end of the floor
41:21
Speaker 2: didn't pick the ball, up and SO i thought initially
41:24
Speaker 2: it was because he didn't pick the ball up and
41:26
Speaker 2: give it back to the. Official but apparently someone came
41:29
Speaker 2: in later and said that there was some chattering going.
41:32
Speaker 1: On he bumped the. Guy, yeah and there it. Was
41:34
Speaker 1: that's what it. WAS i never saw.
41:38
Speaker 3: That so after the call and he didn't like the,
41:39
Speaker 3: call he's walking down the court and he comes back
41:42
Speaker 3: and he does he bumps the.
41:45
Speaker 1: Guy and that's where they got.
41:47
Speaker 4: The weird part of that, Though then call it when
41:49
Speaker 4: he bumps the. GUY i, mean if that's in fact
41:51
Speaker 4: what your, call and call. It you didn't call, it
41:54
Speaker 4: then you come over and look at the monitor and
41:56
Speaker 4: then assess. THAT i thought that was a little bit.
41:57
Speaker 1: Odd. WHATEVER i think they will to the monitors to.
42:00
Speaker 1: See was it? INTENTIONAL i, mean here's bumping all the.
42:02
Speaker 1: Time was it?
42:03
Speaker 3: Intentional and, candidly just watching it a couple of, times
42:06
Speaker 3: it looked intentional that he bumped the.
42:08
Speaker 1: Guy, oh there'd be no question it was. INTENTIONAL i,
42:10
Speaker 1: mean because, well because there was no there was no,
42:12
Speaker 1: play there was no.
42:13
Speaker 2: Action, yeah he was, hot he was mad because he
42:16
Speaker 2: had a beautiful mid court, steel so he.
42:18
Speaker 3: Bumped called for bumping the guy's a technical?
42:20
Speaker 4: Foul is that what you just he. Bumped well what
42:23
Speaker 4: he did was was there any bumping in that? Game
42:26
Speaker 4: but there was no journey arms extending that? Game hang
42:28
Speaker 4: on a, Second hang on a. Second i'm Just i'm.
42:30
Speaker 3: Desert hitting guys in that.
42:31
Speaker 1: Game i'm just reporting WHAT i saw that there. Was
42:34
Speaker 1: this was not during.
42:35
Speaker 3: Play this was after the play Where sincere walks halfway
42:39
Speaker 3: up the court and walks directly toward the guy and
42:43
Speaker 3: bumps into the, guy walks directly toward him and hits.
42:46
Speaker 2: Him tell you, what, Hey, YEAH i tell you what
42:48
Speaker 2: it did do, Though SO i get, you AND i
42:50

Speaker 2: Text brad And, Saberton why does This West virginia men's
1:00:12
Speaker 2: team seem to struggle inbounding the ball this late into the.
1:00:15
Speaker 1: Season do you have an? Answer, NO i.
1:00:20
Speaker 3: Do it gets it just gets.
1:00:22
Speaker 4: HARD i mean teams are flying at you with reckless abandon.
1:00:26
Speaker 4: It sometimes it gets hard to inbound the. BALL i
1:00:28
Speaker 4: know it's been, rough but that sometimes.
1:00:29
Speaker 1: HAPPENS i would.
1:00:30
Speaker 2: Say, this there have been a minimum of late on
1:00:34
Speaker 2: two key situations on inbounding the ball that the people
1:00:38
Speaker 2: that were involved were not supposed to be near the.
1:00:40
Speaker 1: Ball excuse me what? Now, like if you dig deep into,
1:00:45
Speaker 1: this the.
1:00:46
Speaker 2: Coaches will tell, you like If hoppy inbounded, it they
1:00:49
Speaker 2: would tell, You, hoppy there's no play in our book
1:00:52
Speaker 2: Where hoppy inbounds the. Ball but As brad, says sometimes
1:00:56
Speaker 2: things get scattered and guys go do things that they're
1:00:59
Speaker 2: not supposed to do or told to, do just trying
1:01:02
Speaker 2: to make a. Play they'll look at you and go like,
1:01:03
Speaker 2: that we don't do. That we have that's nowhere in our, playbook.
1:01:06
Speaker 1: And that you.
1:01:07
Speaker 3: Know it's interesting, too and you see it maybe more in,
1:01:10
Speaker 3: Football but if you watch football tape and talk to
1:01:14
Speaker 3: coaches every, play something goes, wrong somebody's in the wrong,
1:01:19
Speaker 3: place somebody doesn't go to the right. PLAY i, mean
1:01:22
Speaker 3: it's just all the. Time so sometimes things happen, right
1:01:25
Speaker 3: like why is that guy over?
1:01:27
Speaker 4: There and and sometimes especially in, basketball that works in your, favor,
1:01:31
Speaker 4: RIGHT i, mean not every single basket is drawn. Up
1:01:33
Speaker 4: sometimes guys just make plays and make shots, Right so
1:01:36
Speaker 4: the reverse is all su. True sometimes they're just not
1:01:38
Speaker 4: in the right spot or they don't do the right.
1:01:40
Speaker 4: Thing and, again those those late game situations that you've
1:01:43
Speaker 4: seen When westray's has most, trouble those are teams that
1:01:45
Speaker 4: are just selling, out coming at you hart, right and
1:01:48
Speaker 4: they can be ultra, aggressive and it's it's been a
1:01:51
Speaker 4: battle at.
1:01:51
Speaker 3: Times that's that's another reason you Miss. Tucker devree is another,
1:01:55
Speaker 3: ballhand another ballhand and also a.
1:01:57
Speaker 4: Guy on the court who knows everybody's supposed to be
1:01:59
Speaker 4: and it is it is one of the things with this,
1:02:01
Speaker 4: team and we talk about. It javon has the ball
1:02:03
Speaker 4: in his hands so much right that there isn't five
1:02:06
Speaker 4: guys that handle the ball on a regular. Basis so
1:02:09
Speaker 4: in those situations late a lot of times you're getting
1:02:11
Speaker 4: them in situations where those aren't guys' ultimate, strengths, Right
1:02:15
Speaker 4: they're having to do stuff that's not right in their.
1:02:17
Speaker 3: WHEELHOUSE i wonder, Too, Tony and you're, right there is
1:02:20
Speaker 3: that when the team is on the other end of
1:02:22
Speaker 3: the court from Where West virginia is and Coach devrees
1:02:24
Speaker 3: is yelling down something like going, gesturing do all.
1:02:29
Speaker 1: FIVE i don't think all five guys hear what he's.
1:02:32
Speaker 1: Saying oh, no, absolutely that's, like that's the essence of the, Game.
1:02:35
Speaker 2: Hoppy you have any idea how many times teams run
1:02:38
Speaker 2: plays and like one guy goes on a different on
1:02:42
Speaker 2: a different, reservation and everyone else runs the same thing
1:02:44
Speaker 2: and the play looks terrible and you go, like what
1:02:46
