- 3:41Speaker 1: We'll get into it, but it's going to be really
- 3:42Speaker 1: interesting to see how BYU responds after getting a boat
- 3:46Speaker 1: raced on their home floor against UCF on Tuesday night
- 3:52Speaker 1: about UCF crazy man.
- 3:54Speaker 2: They're they're probably in right.
- 3:57Speaker 1: Twenty and seven and they're nine and six in the league.
- 3:59Speaker 4: There's most of them at the nine seed right now.
- 4:01Speaker 4: There's still some left. They lose out. That got a problem.
- 4:04Speaker 4: A lot of basketball left. Kirchball. Don't push ahead yet.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Fourteen and three. See, their deal was, their deal was
- 4:10Speaker 1: they couldn't win away from home. Now they're five and
- 4:12Speaker 1: four in the league on the or true road games
- 4:15Speaker 1: on the season. Yeah, in case you're wondering, the by
- 4:19Speaker 1: us are three and four this season in true road games.
- 4:24Speaker 4: So you see, I have had them down thirty six
- 4:27Speaker 4: in the second half, like sixteen to go in the
- 4:29Speaker 4: second half, down thirty six. That's a stunning result.
- 4:32Speaker 2: That is m you are you sick to Tony was there?
- 4:36Speaker 4: I just got a little something.

- 4:52Speaker 3: basketball teams. It is just it's an interesting it's a
- 4:57Speaker 3: fast I don't want to jump ahead.
- 4:59Speaker 4: It's a care about to it's.
- 5:02Speaker 2: You know, the season, which by the way, is long.
- 5:07Speaker 3: It's a long season when you think about when they
- 5:08Speaker 3: start practice and then the games and now they start
- 5:11Speaker 3: games like in October, and you know, Brad, you get
- 5:14Speaker 3: to this point where it's just this is a segment.
- 5:16Speaker 3: This is a portion, right, I mean there's an early least,
- 5:19Speaker 3: there's a non conference, you start conference, and then you're
- 5:22Speaker 3: like mid sie Okay, you're in mid season form.
- 5:24Speaker 2: And this is just like you know.
- 5:26Speaker 3: What they say about a marathon, twenty six miles, you
- 5:28Speaker 3: run the first twenty then the second half of the race.
- 5:33Speaker 2: That's kind of where you are, right yeah.
- 5:35Speaker 3: Yeah, And it's and it's it's it's tough for all teams.
- 5:39Speaker 3: You know, what do you have in common with Houston?
- 5:41Speaker 3: Now if they lost three in a row? Now opponent adjusted,
- 5:47Speaker 3: But still it's just and guys are hurt, and guys

- 8:00Speaker 1: It'll be fun.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll be there.
- 8:01Speaker 1: Okay, let's do you Hoppy. Have you got anything obvious
- 8:04Speaker 1: that needs to be said obviously? All right, let's go, Jake,
- 8:07Speaker 1: obvious observations three. Two.
- 8:09Speaker 5: We've got thoughts that sound rand new, but that things
- 8:13Speaker 5: we already knew. We got his bomb ready, heaven knows.
- 8:18Speaker 5: Let's take it quick before obvious ovation.
- 8:31Speaker 1: All right, very good.
- 8:33Speaker 3: Let's start with Oklahoma State and as coach Hodge talked about,
- 8:36Speaker 3: I mean this, this West Virginia team has to live
- 8:40Speaker 3: on its defense, and they really struggled in the first half.
- 8:43Speaker 3: Gave up forty six points to Oklahoma State, most of
- 8:47Speaker 3: any half this season, and not having Jasper in there
- 8:50Speaker 3: because of foul trouble. That's certainly hurt Cowboys. Brad and
- 8:55Speaker 3: You talked about this a lot on the broadcast. They
- 8:57Speaker 3: seemed defense seemed like an afterthought. Roclm mis State and
- 9:01Speaker 3: West Virginia had shot opportunities. It's just if you're gonna
- 9:04Speaker 3: get in a high scoring game, you gotta get more
- 9:06Speaker 3: shots to fall. And that was a struggle for the Mountaineers.
- 9:08Speaker 3: Free throw line, I mean both those games. That was
- 9:11Speaker 3: a story in both of those games. I mean Oklahoma
- 9:14Speaker 3: State nineteen of twenty seven, WVU six of twelve. You
- 9:18Speaker 3: lose by seven. Cowboys said thirteen more points at the
- 9:21Speaker 3: free throw line. Rebounds, So those two games you could
- 9:25Speaker 3: talk about rebounds and free throws, rebounds and free throws.
- 9:28Speaker 3: West Virginia got out rebounded by Oklahoma State forty to
- 9:32Speaker 3: thirty three. Similar story at TCU. TCU had nineteen offensive
- 9:38Speaker 3: rebounds that game, nineteen offensive rebounds, eleven steals again, free throws,
- 9:44Speaker 3: they were eighteen of twenty seven. You were nine of twelve.
- 9:47Speaker 3: You lost by six, and they had nine more points
- 9:49Speaker 3: at the free throw line. So but you know, Tony,
- 9:52Speaker 3: I just I've been thinking a lot since you guys
- 9:54Speaker 3: been going just a larger.
- 9:55Speaker 1: Did you miss us?
- 9:56Speaker 3: Well, yeah, okay, I'm miss getting together with you, But
- 9:59Speaker 3: I wis it's like I didn't because I listened to
- 10:01Speaker 3: you guys for like five hours, because I listened to
- 10:03Speaker 3: two games. You know, Calvin Samson said something I couldn't
- 10:07Speaker 3: find the exact quote, but he said something the other
- 10:09Speaker 3: night after a loss. He said, every night in this league,
- 10:12Speaker 3: good teams win and good teams lose. You can be
- 10:16Speaker 3: good in this league and lose any night. And I
- 10:19Speaker 3: know people are tired of hearing us talk about the league,
- 10:21Speaker 3: but it just it just is. I mean, you don't
- 10:24Speaker 3: have the other night Duke beat North Carolina by fifty.
- 10:27Speaker 3: I mean, Duke beat Notre Dame by fitty. You don't
- 10:31Speaker 3: have that in this league. You just don't have it.
- 10:33Speaker 3: I mean, every night is just a battle. So every
- 10:35Speaker 3: night a good team wins and a good team loses.
- 10:37Speaker 3: This West Virginia team, this is a good team. It's
- 10:40Speaker 3: not a great team. This is a good team and
- 10:43Speaker 3: the coach gets everything out of them. You are getting
- 10:48Speaker 3: everything that these guys have to give you all the time,
- 10:54Speaker 3: but many nights it's just not quite enough for a
- 10:57Speaker 3: variety of reasons. So and I was thinking then about,
- 11:02Speaker 3: so what are you need looking ahead?
- 11:04Speaker 2: Because it's just year one. What do you need?
- 11:08Speaker 3: And in this league you need NBA players. You need
- 11:15Speaker 3: NBA players that would help this team, that would that
- 11:20Speaker 3: will help this team going forward.
- 11:23Speaker 5: No.
- 11:24Speaker 2: Last year Houston won the league. Brad they had l J.
- 11:27Speaker 3: Cryer now with the Golden State g League, theyd Jawan
- 11:30Speaker 3: Roberts now playing in Germany. They had Milos Uzon who's
- 11:33Speaker 3: still there. Joseph Tugler Texas Tech finished second last year.
- 11:37Speaker 1: They had JT.
- 11:37Speaker 3: Top in his back and he's a projected first round
- 11:40Speaker 3: pick depending on how that knee works out. Chance mcmillion
- 11:43Speaker 3: is signed with Golden State Arizona finished third in the
- 11:45Speaker 3: league last year, Caleb Love now.
- 11:48Speaker 2: Playing with Portland.
- 11:51Speaker 4: There are.
- 11:53Speaker 3: Top twenty five projected NBA draft picks in this league.
- 11:56Speaker 3: Darren Peterson number one, the Band's the number two, Flemings
- 12:00Speaker 3: number three, Senac number fifteen, Pete number sixteen, Burris number seventeen,
- 12:07Speaker 3: Anderson number twenty three, number nineteen, KR with Baylor number
- 12:12Speaker 3: twenty three. YESUFU number twenty four. They think about that
- 12:16Speaker 3: for a second, and here's Baylor, Tony's you pointed out
- 12:20Speaker 3: to me, Baylor with two of the top twenty five
- 12:23Speaker 3: NBA draft picks and a veteran coach, and they have
- 12:25Speaker 3: four conference wins. It's just so you can't be and
- 12:31Speaker 3: even though I am a prisoner of the moment, in
- 12:34Speaker 3: terms of program, you cannot be a prisoner of the moment.
- 12:37Speaker 3: You have to see at what this coach and I
- 12:39Speaker 3: think this guy really knows what he's doing. You have
- 12:42Speaker 3: to see a bigger picture. I think you're a lot
- 12:45Speaker 3: healthier fan wise if you enjoy the effort this team
- 12:49Speaker 3: is giving you and the resilience they show you and
- 12:53Speaker 3: be optimistic about the future. That's how I view this
- 12:57Speaker 3: team and this program at this really you know, just
- 13:02Speaker 3: emotional part this this tough part of the season.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Reaction.
- 13:08Speaker 1: I totally agree. I'm very optimistic about the future and
- 13:12Speaker 1: what's being built, no question about it, truly, am.
- 13:16Speaker 4: I'm really impressed this this staff and this particular group
- 13:20Speaker 4: of guys has really, to your point, given it, they're
- 13:23Speaker 4: all this season now. Sometimes those shots don't fall, sometimes
- 13:25Speaker 4: you give up a basket. The margin for air in
- 13:28Speaker 4: this league is thin. It's not just that there's great
- 13:30Speaker 4: teams and great players. So your margin every night is
- 13:33Speaker 4: very thin. And I think we've seen that over the
- 13:35Speaker 4: last three games that obviously are disappointing losses. Those are
- 13:38Speaker 4: all three games you felt like you could have got.
- 13:40Speaker 4: Even in the midst of the game, you felt like
- 13:42Speaker 4: you probably should have had all three of those. That's
- 13:45Speaker 4: just not how this league works at this point. For
- 13:47Speaker 4: West Virginia, so I give a lot of credit. This
- 13:49Speaker 4: team has not We're around them a lot. I have
- 13:52Speaker 4: not seen them out one time, hang their head one time,
- 13:55Speaker 4: or quite frankly, take a possession off. Again. They might
- 13:58Speaker 4: not get a stop, they might not make a basket,
- 14:00Speaker 4: but this group is not taking a single second off.
- 14:02Speaker 1: Yeah, they're squeezing the sponge. My deal is, when I
- 14:07Speaker 1: look at teams, is are they giving you absolutely every
- 14:13Speaker 1: bit that they have night in and night out. And
- 14:16Speaker 1: from a coaching perspective, is the coaching staff able to
- 14:20Speaker 1: drain every single drop out of the sponge of what
- 14:24Speaker 1: the team is. And the answer to this is absolutely yes.
- 14:28Speaker 1: They have squeezed the sponge on these guys. They've gotten
- 14:31Speaker 1: every drip out of that sponge so far. So going
- 14:35Speaker 1: forward is to be are there going to be changes?
- 14:38Speaker 1: Talent level improves, Yeah, talent level improves. You could see
- 14:41Speaker 1: that the three recruits that they've signed right now, there
- 14:43Speaker 1: is a higher level of recruit that's coming in. I mean,
- 14:48Speaker 1: the reality of it is. And you know, you don't
- 14:53Speaker 1: the five guys on the floor that start the game,
- 14:57Speaker 1: none of those guys at a Power for school in
- 15:01Speaker 1: the past. Those guys did not have Power for offers
- 15:05Speaker 1: coming their way when they were coming out of high school.
- 15:08Speaker 1: If they did, they'd play at power for schools. Okay.
- 15:12Speaker 1: And so to get to this level and you're playing
- 15:15Speaker 1: against guys that are four and five stars, and as
- 15:18Speaker 1: you just said, there's a handful of pros that you're
- 15:20Speaker 1: seeing in this league night in and night out. That
- 15:23Speaker 1: is a tough challenge night in and night out. So
- 15:26Speaker 1: how do you get better at that? Well, you get
- 15:29Speaker 1: some of those dudes, and you get a five star
- 15:32Speaker 1: and saddler and you get top one hundred recruits and
- 15:35Speaker 1: then when the portal season opens up, they know what
- 15:39Speaker 1: they need position wise, they know what they're going to
- 15:41Speaker 1: go get and they have to go execute that. So
- 15:45Speaker 1: that's what this thing is.
- 15:46Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 15:47Speaker 3: So to me, and again, I was actually thinking about
- 15:50Speaker 3: it last night and this morning. And I know some
- 15:52Speaker 3: people can say, oh, you're making excuses, blah blah. No,
- 15:55Speaker 3: this to me is at an objective observation, objective obvious
- 16:02Speaker 3: observation of where you are with a team that because
- 16:06Speaker 3: of the characters, you can like a lot Brad and
- 16:09Speaker 3: appreciate the effort and understand the shortcomings that need to
- 16:14Speaker 3: be dealt with in the subsequent years. That's what I
- 16:20Speaker 3: think about this team and this step.
- 16:22Speaker 4: Yeah, and yet listen, there's a lot of guys here
- 16:24Speaker 4: that have stepped up and been impressive. Honor Huff just
- 16:25Speaker 4: moved into fourth time all time on your single season
- 16:28Speaker 4: three point record. Yeah, most made threes in a single season,
- 16:31Speaker 4: just past Kevin Pittsnogle, who I think had a couple
- 16:34Speaker 4: of pretty good years here. I'll continue to say it
- 16:36Speaker 4: till the end of the season. Jasper Floyd, one of
- 16:38Speaker 4: the best on ball defenders in this league, has had
- 16:40Speaker 4: a really outstanding season. Seven assists, one turnover last. So
- 16:44Speaker 4: there's these guys. Below's had his moments, Harlan's had his moments,
- 16:46Speaker 4: Tracon's had his moments. They've had their moments where it's there,
- 16:49Speaker 4: the margin for error is thin, and we're going to
- 16:52Speaker 4: go through some numbers. Over these last three games, you
- 16:55Speaker 4: win a couple of those who are having a different conversation,
- 16:58Speaker 4: and again you may be tired of hearing it, but
- 17:00Speaker 4: the fact that you've had to reset this roster again
- 17:03Speaker 4: with an entirely new coaching staff again, I know, we
- 17:06Speaker 4: just get used to saying, oh, it's a new roster
- 17:08Speaker 4: and new guys that there's some there's some learning curves
- 17:10Speaker 4: there that that has to be taken into account. And
- 17:13Speaker 4: yet here you're sitting just as of a week ago,
- 17:16Speaker 4: you were close to being in this tournament field.
- 17:17Speaker 3: Well, Baylor reset the entire staff and got two NBA
- 17:21Speaker 3: players and they got four wins.
- 17:23Speaker 4: Kansas State is spending a load of money and couldn't
- 17:27Speaker 4: get it right and had to fire their coaching staff. Again,
- 17:30Speaker 4: it's hard. It takes a little bit to get it going.
- 17:32Speaker 4: And West Virginia has been the opposite of stability for
- 17:36Speaker 4: four or five years. Here you've got to let it
- 17:38Speaker 4: get on track and let the thing play out. I
- 17:40Speaker 4: am completely comfortable with this coaching staff. I think they
- 17:42Speaker 4: do a tremendous job when we sit and watch them, Tony,
- 17:46Speaker 4: this staff knows what it's doing, It knows what it
- 17:48Speaker 4: needs to go get. It can make in game adjustments.
- 17:51Speaker 4: It checks every box that you needed to check. I
- 17:53Speaker 4: have no no qualms about that.
- 17:55Speaker 1: Totally agree, Totally agree.

- 18:26Speaker 3: walk off, ninth inning, seventh game against Yankees in nineteen
- 18:31Speaker 3: sixty Ohio guy born in West Virginia was born at
- 18:36Speaker 3: Wheeling Hospital because his family's from eastern Ohio and at
- 18:39Speaker 3: that time the closest hospital was across the river in Wheeling,
- 18:42Speaker 3: so he was actually born born in West Virginia, actually
- 18:45Speaker 3: born in West Virginia.
- 18:46Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah, isn't that how Lou Holtz also
- 18:49Speaker 1: had the West Virginia connection as well, because maybe something
- 18:51Speaker 1: like that. They're right on that border between Ohio and
- 18:55Speaker 1: West Virginia.
- 18:56Speaker 3: So always a West Virginia connection. Born in Wheeling Hospital,

- 23:38Speaker 1: you got?
- 23:39Speaker 4: I'm going to kind of jump around here, we'll do
- 23:42Speaker 4: The review is kind of some over the last couple
- 23:45Speaker 4: two three games. Some of it's Oklahoma State will jump
- 23:48Speaker 4: into TCU, So feel free to h this is a
- 23:50Speaker 4: class participation, so feel free to Yeah, you're welcome to.
- 23:55Speaker 4: So just meander through some of this stuff. Little Oklahoma
- 23:58Speaker 4: State first, same exact number hoppy of two point field
- 24:02Speaker 4: goals made by both teams. Yep, West Virginia had two
- 24:04Speaker 4: more threes had their first double digit three point performance
- 24:08Speaker 4: since Arizona State threes were available plentiful, and West Virginia
- 24:13Speaker 4: made a bunch the difference in the game. Oklahoma State
- 24:16Speaker 4: had fifteen more free throw attempts and thirteen more made
- 24:19Speaker 4: free throws. Ballgame and something in the game that goes
- 24:22Speaker 4: to overtime as a matter of a possession or two,
- 24:26Speaker 4: that's going to be the difference. I'll come back to
- 24:28Speaker 4: free throws in just a second. West Virginia allowed the
- 24:31Speaker 4: most points in the paint it is allowed in the
- 24:33Speaker 4: Big Twelve this season, and I thought that was especially
- 24:36Speaker 4: impactful early in the game where Oklahoma State had a
- 24:40Speaker 4: lot of success and hop you hit the nail on
- 24:42Speaker 4: the head. A big part of that was Jasper's absence
- 24:45Speaker 4: because of fouls in the first half. When he is
- 24:47Speaker 4: off the floor, it changes that defense significantly, not just
- 24:50Speaker 4: the obvious on ball defense that he gives you, but
- 24:53Speaker 4: it affects all of the rotations in the defensive system
- 24:56Speaker 4: when he's out, and I thought West Virginia was hurt
- 24:58Speaker 4: by that. Oklahoma State nearly sixty percent in the first
- 25:02Speaker 4: half before West Virginia screwed that defense on pretty tight
- 25:05Speaker 4: the next ten to twelve minutes of the second half.
- 25:07Speaker 4: So I thought that was probably the difference in the
- 25:09Speaker 4: game forced you to dig out of that big hole,
- 25:12Speaker 4: although you did and got right back in it. Here's
- 25:15Speaker 4: a concern over the last few games, and it's it's
- 25:18Speaker 4: really something that you know, that game you go to
- 25:21Speaker 4: like Chuck E Cheese where there's it's it's like we've
- 25:25Speaker 4: referenced this before where those those stupid little groundhogs pop up.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Whackamble back of their moles.
- 25:32Speaker 4: Groundhogs, all due respect to the groundlock community, of course
- 25:36Speaker 4: slammed them, not necessarily there, thank you whack a mole.
- 25:39Speaker 4: That's what that's what just started happening for West Virginia.
- 25:42Speaker 4: West Virginia had led the league in defensive rebounding percentage
- 25:46Speaker 4: up until the Utah game, and then it's totally flipped
- 25:50Speaker 4: the last three games. And if you want to look
- 25:52Speaker 4: for a reason why West Virginia's dropped three straight games,
- 25:55Speaker 4: you can go to two. You can go to the
- 25:56Speaker 4: free throw line, which I'm getting to in a minute,
- 25:58Speaker 4: and you can go to offensive rebounds by your opponent.
- 26:01Speaker 4: Three of the four highest opponent offensive rebounding games this
- 26:05Speaker 4: season have come in the last three games. So something
- 26:08Speaker 4: that West Virginia had been outstanding at all season against
- 26:12Speaker 4: very very good teams has left them over the last
- 26:15Speaker 4: three games, as Utah, TCU and Oklahoma State both did
- 26:19Speaker 4: work on the glass and that was a big factor
- 26:22Speaker 4: in losing the games. The three talk about something else,
- 26:26Speaker 4: whacka moll. West Virginia had led the conference up until
- 26:30Speaker 4: Utah in free throw attempt rate for its opponent. It
- 26:34Speaker 4: was guarding without fouling, It was not putting people on
- 26:36Speaker 4: the line. All of a sudden, something has changed. The
- 26:39Speaker 4: three highest opponent free throw attempt rates in Big twelve
- 26:43Speaker 4: play have come in the last three games. You combine
- 26:47Speaker 4: that with three of West Virginia's lowest free throw attempt
- 26:50Speaker 4: rate games in the last three and you can see
- 26:54Speaker 4: why in close games hoppy that changes the scale. It's
- 26:57Speaker 4: why I talk constantly about the free throw line and
- 27:00Speaker 4: about what the style of officiating is going to be
- 27:03Speaker 4: in each game, which does change each game. Here's the numbers.
- 27:07Speaker 4: West Virginia is minus twenty nine points from the free
- 27:10Speaker 4: throw line and minus thirty six free throw attempts over
- 27:15Speaker 4: the last three games, so you're almost ten points per
- 27:18Speaker 4: game down for an offense that plays in the margins
- 27:21Speaker 4: and needs to be ultra efficient if you're starting in
- 27:24Speaker 4: the whole ten nothing because of the free throw line,
- 27:27Speaker 4: that's a problem. You're you're not gonna win these close games.
- 27:29Speaker 4: So we can go to a lot of things, and yeah,
- 27:32Speaker 4: you would have liked a couple more threes against Utah
- 27:34Speaker 4: and TCU, and yes, you'd like to get a couple
- 27:36Speaker 4: more putbow. All that stuff's true. But you can go
- 27:38Speaker 4: to free throws and you and your offensive rebounding for
- 27:41Speaker 4: the opponent as the reason why you've lost the last
- 27:44Speaker 4: three games unfortunately, And again those are two categories hobby.
- 27:47Speaker 4: You've been number one in the league, not just pretty good.
- 27:50Speaker 4: You had been number one in the league heading in
- 27:52Speaker 4: to the last three games, and now it's complete, completely flipped,
- 27:55Speaker 4: especially that free throw attempt right number so mading.
- 27:58Speaker 2: So what changed?
- 28:00Speaker 1: Hell? The whistle changed?
- 28:05Speaker 4: I mean, you're playing the same defense you played all year.
- 28:08Speaker 1: Whistle changed?
- 28:10Speaker 3: Is it just the whistle or or is it you
- 28:11Speaker 3: get tired and when you get tired, you commit.
- 28:13Speaker 1: More fouls from a combination of everything.
- 28:15Speaker 4: But maybe some of that and listen, I now is
- 28:17Speaker 4: during the Oklahoma State games, some of that is West
- 28:22Speaker 4: Virginia's defenders were a lot closer to Oklahoma State's offensive
- 28:25Speaker 4: players than Oklahoma States defenders were to West Virginia players
- 28:28Speaker 4: a lot, so I could see where there's a gap
- 28:31Speaker 4: in fouls. Oklahoma State, frankly, just wasn't interested in playing
- 28:34Speaker 4: defense for a lot of that game. Their goal is
- 28:36Speaker 4: to get you to get the shot up so that
- 28:38Speaker 4: they can go the other way. So there's gonna be disparity.
- 28:41Speaker 4: I get that, But gosh dang, your first three foul
- 28:44Speaker 4: calls of the game against Oklahoma State are on closeouts
- 28:46Speaker 4: on shooters shooting threes. I don't know that I've ever
- 28:50Speaker 4: seen that. Guys, if you get one call to a game,
- 28:52Speaker 4: it's a lot. West Virginia has first three fouls of
- 28:55Speaker 4: the game called on closed out on shooters. That's just
- 28:57Speaker 4: one example. At any rate, if you're starting minus ten
- 29:01Speaker 4: from the free throw line in terms of points, this
- 29:03Speaker 4: team's going to struggle in some games. That's a number
- 29:06Speaker 4: that has to switch back. You have to go back
- 29:08Speaker 4: to getting better on the defensive glass two and not
- 29:10Speaker 4: allowing those elongated possessions. Agreed, that was the first thing
- 29:14Speaker 4: that jumped out to me. West Virginia's catching shoots. We
- 29:18Speaker 4: like to talk about this each week. Second most points
- 29:24Speaker 4: in Big Twelve playoff catching unguarded catching shoots against Oklahoma
- 29:27Speaker 4: State double digit on guarded catch and shoots for the
- 29:31Speaker 4: first time in nine games in Big Twelve play in
- 29:34Speaker 4: the last nine games. In the last six games, West
- 29:39Speaker 4: Virginia's average nearly unguarded nine on guarded catch and shoots
- 29:43Speaker 4: per game. So that tells me offense is really coming
- 29:48Speaker 4: along in terms of style of play. It's creating open looks.
- 29:51Speaker 4: We say this all the time. The first goal of
- 29:54Speaker 4: the offense is to create open shots. West Virginia has
- 29:57Speaker 4: been getting that at a much higher rate over the
- 30:00Speaker 4: last six games. Some of that's probably opponent adjusted for
- 30:03Speaker 4: some defenses, I realize, but they're getting open looks. Finally,
- 30:06Speaker 4: the other night those started to drop as they got
- 30:08Speaker 4: their second most points off those on guarded catch and shoots. Defensively,
- 30:12Speaker 4: this will make you nuts again.
- 30:15Speaker 1: I'm already there.
- 30:15Speaker 4: This is bumming me out, man. This is gonna go
- 30:17Speaker 4: all season now. There just hasn't been the regression. I've
- 30:20Speaker 4: said regression for every show on this podcast. There is
- 30:24Speaker 4: no regression.
- 30:25Speaker 2: It is what now. It is what it is.
- 30:27Speaker 4: Oklahoma State, excuse me, twelve on guarded catch and shoot
- 30:32Speaker 4: jump shots. I mean twelve catch and shoot jump shots
- 30:36Speaker 4: in total. Twelve of them they made nine probably ten
- 30:39Speaker 4: were guarded, only two were on guarded. Oklahoma State scored
- 30:44Speaker 4: six points on the unguarded catchen shoots. They hit them
- 30:47Speaker 4: both one hundred percent from the field on on guarded
- 30:51Speaker 4: catch and shoots. Oklahoma State. To put that in context, Topy,
- 30:54Speaker 4: because I know you're gonna ask, they only had six
- 30:58Speaker 4: games all year when they were above forty percent field
- 31:01Speaker 4: goal percentage on unguarded catch and shoots. They had no
- 31:04Speaker 4: games above sixty percent from the field on on guarded
- 31:08Speaker 4: catching shoots until Tuesday, in which they hit one hundred
- 31:12Speaker 4: of their unguarded shots.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Well, the one catch and shoot that was guarded is
- 31:15Speaker 1: the one that I'll always remember.
- 31:17Speaker 4: From the far side in the corner over six', Nine
- 31:20Speaker 4: Brendon laurent.
- 31:21Speaker 1: Had shot a moonball man that baby went in, there
- 31:24Speaker 1: which one one of them banked in one banked and
- 31:26Speaker 1: that was one of those front.
- 31:27Speaker 4: Is, yeah Pars fala had a really good game and
- 31:31Speaker 4: he was at the top of the scouting.
- 31:33Speaker 2: Port.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Wes let's let's talk about him even. Before let's go
- 31:36Speaker 1: post game on. Him yeah what?
- 31:37Speaker 2: What what was the? Injury? Knee he blew it out
- 31:39Speaker 2: on when he didn't need to.
- 31:41Speaker 1: Correct he.
- 31:42Speaker 4: Didn't he didn't need. To that's where You phil doubly.
- 31:44Speaker 4: Back just pull that ball. Out the game's.
- 31:45Speaker 2: Over, YEAH i don't need.
- 31:46Speaker 4: To so he was at the top of the scouting,
- 31:49Speaker 4: report really talented Player Western his staff likes him a.
- 31:52Speaker 4: Lot thought he's the best in the league at burrowing
- 31:55Speaker 4: himself down deep in there on the post and getting the.
- 31:58Speaker 4: Ball and he did that really first half along With
- 32:01Speaker 4: vukovich they had they were successful in that lane in
- 32:03Speaker 4: the first half of. Him but here's what got. Me
- 32:08Speaker 4: parcefala has had only one game all season where he
- 32:12Speaker 4: made a guarded catch and shoe jumper and an on
- 32:16Speaker 4: guarded catch and shoe. Jumper only one game all season
- 32:19Speaker 4: where he did. Both would you like to guess which
- 32:21Speaker 4: game of the twenty eight he's played all season was
- 32:23Speaker 4: the outlier.
- 32:24Speaker 1: PERFORMANCE i have an, Idea.
- 32:25Speaker 2: Yeah probably know who what that.
- 32:27Speaker 4: Is it was The West virginian game made both of
- 32:30Speaker 4: the stepped. Out he had what ten threes coming into the,
- 32:33Speaker 4: season AND i think ten because he ended with, two
- 32:36Speaker 4: and his twelve on the season was. Amazing Jalen, Curry
- 32:40Speaker 4: Jalen curry was a difference maker for. Them he was
- 32:43Speaker 4: three of three from, three none of which were. Unguarded
- 32:46Speaker 4: he was a twenty eight percent three point shooter coming
- 32:48Speaker 4: into the, game so a twenty eight percent three point
- 32:51Speaker 4: shooter was guarded on every one of his three point
- 32:54Speaker 4: attempts and he banged in all.
- 32:55Speaker 2: Three who hit the big threes in over? Time is
- 32:57Speaker 2: that him who hit the? Threes clary and.
- 33:00Speaker 4: He already had a couple. Careers But claire is five
- 33:03Speaker 4: of twelve on the. Season, again he did a pretty
- 33:04Speaker 4: good job on. Him he hit some absolutely. UPSHOTS a
- 33:10Speaker 4: couple other notes individuals For West Virginia honor we talked.
- 33:13Speaker 4: About good to see him bounce. Back West virginia needed
- 33:15Speaker 4: that six made threes and, man he had some open
- 33:18Speaker 4: LOOKS i mentioned. Earlier he's moved into fourth time fourth
- 33:21Speaker 4: place all time in made threes in a single. Season
- 33:23Speaker 4: he Passed Kevin. Pittsnaggle he's three away from Passing Alex
- 33:27Speaker 4: ruoffs two thousand and eight. Season for, Third he's six
- 33:30Speaker 4: away from Passing Chris leonard nineteen ninety two season for,
- 33:33Speaker 4: second gonna be tough to Catch Frank. Young he's twenty
- 33:37Speaker 4: two away from Passing frank in two thousand and. SEVEN
- 33:40Speaker 4: i had. FORGOT i knew he had a great. YEAR

- 33:44Speaker 4: the benefit of That nit. Run they played thirty seven
- 33:47Speaker 4: games that, Season honors sitting at twenty eight games right.
- 33:50Speaker 4: Now But honors had obviously one of the more spectacular
- 33:52Speaker 4: shooting seasons we've seen in terms of made. Threes Mentioned
- 33:56Speaker 4: Jasper floyd's performance, Earlier, HOPY i did think that was
- 33:59Speaker 4: a big. Difference when he is not on the, floor
- 34:01Speaker 4: this is a different. Team he finishes seven points about,
- 34:04Speaker 4: this seven assists in one. Turnover also added five rebounds in.
- 34:08Speaker 4: There gave you a little bit of. Everything jasper continues
- 34:11Speaker 4: to have a really good. Season guys twentieth, nationally the
- 34:14Speaker 4: twentieth player not in, percentile twentieth player nationally out of
- 34:18Speaker 4: nearly twenty three hundred in steel. Percentage he's top ten
- 34:22Speaker 4: nationally of all college basketball players in assist. Rate he's
- 34:26Speaker 4: top twenty percent in all college basketball players in effective
- 34:29Speaker 4: field goal, percentage and As i've, mentioned, defensively one of
- 34:33Speaker 4: the best defenders in the. GAME i thought he was
- 34:34Speaker 4: really good the other. Night he spearheaded that second, half
- 34:38Speaker 4: comeback running the. Team chance more another good road, trip.
- 34:41Speaker 4: Guys he really continues to. Provide the thing you're looking
- 34:46Speaker 4: for from him is when he is inserted into the,
- 34:48Speaker 4: game you need him to do exactly what he. Does
- 34:51Speaker 4: he needs to be a bolt of, energy get on the,
- 34:54Speaker 4: glass and when he gets, it don't look, around you
- 34:57Speaker 4: go straight at the. Basket AND i thought he did
- 34:58Speaker 4: that in each of the last two. Games, again he
- 35:01Speaker 4: was tremendous Against Oklahoma state ten total, rebounds six of
- 35:05Speaker 4: those were. Offensive you go back to THE tcu, game multiple.
- 35:09Speaker 4: Blocks So chance continues to play well and play his
- 35:12Speaker 4: role perfect, perfectly coming off the bench and giving you a.
- 35:15Speaker 4: Boost that's what you need out of, him all, right what,
- 35:19Speaker 4: else same, questions just noy.
- 35:22Speaker 1: That yeah it. Is it.
- 35:24Speaker 4: Is jump back TO tcu for just a second of.
- 35:26Speaker 6: This.
- 35:27Speaker 4: NOW i want to give a couple, numbers because again
- 35:29Speaker 4: there's these outlying. Performances that offensive rebounding performance for them
- 35:33Speaker 4: is that's what they. Do it's their Highest that was
- 35:36Speaker 4: the highest rate Against West virginia this, season fifty offensive, rebounds.
- 35:40Speaker 3: You, know bred on THAT tcu, GAME i mean that
- 35:43Speaker 3: that problem that might hurt worse than The oka mistake
- 35:45Speaker 3: game BECAUSE ccu didn't make, shots you, know they didn't do,
- 35:48Speaker 3: it but.
- 35:48Speaker 4: They got to the free throw on twelve two point
- 35:51Speaker 4: field goals made all game FOR. Tcu that's the fewest
- 35:55Speaker 4: they made in any game all. Season they shot twelve
- 35:58Speaker 4: of thirty seven thirty two percent from two point, range
- 36:02Speaker 4: lowest of the. Season that's Something West frondin has been
- 36:04Speaker 4: very good at top ten nationally and opponent two point
- 36:07Speaker 4: field goal. Percentage it was, again it was the free
- 36:10Speaker 4: throw attempt. Rate they were at a fifty one percent
- 36:13Speaker 4: free throw attempt rate in that. Game that's their fourth
- 36:15Speaker 4: highest all, season non conference games.
- 36:18Speaker 6: Included, yeah that's WHAT i. Got, yeah not, good not.
- 36:25Speaker 6: Good it's it's just like we, Said.
- 36:31Speaker 3: Razor thin and if you're, not if you're gonna get
- 36:33Speaker 3: outscored at the free throw line by eight, ten that's
- 36:37Speaker 3: there's your.
- 36:38Speaker 1: Difference you got a heck of a problem when the
- 36:39Speaker 1: other team makes more than you. Attempt it's just the
- 36:42Speaker 1: stats that's that's been. Happening OKAY.
- 36:47Speaker 3: Byu, yep they have a pretty good, player right here
- 36:51Speaker 3: a couple OF i discovered that just before the season.
- 36:54Speaker 4: Began you've mentioned. ALREADY i was just stunned at that
- 36:57Speaker 4: home loss that you see IF i think that's one
- 36:59Speaker 4: of the tougher places to play in this, country and
- 37:01Speaker 4: FOR ucf to go in there and be up thirty
- 37:04Speaker 4: six on that up thirty? Six are you kidding? Me
- 37:08Speaker 4: on that?
- 37:08Speaker 1: TEAM i still can't get better AROUND.
- 37:10Speaker 4: I can't, either AND byu probably can't. Either they're. Surprising
- 37:14Speaker 4: what are they in the? League eight and seven?
- 37:15Speaker 2: Now something like?
- 37:16Speaker 4: That eight and eight something like, that which that's not
- 37:18Speaker 4: where THIS byu team thought it would be as it
- 37:21Speaker 4: went all chips in trying to win the title this.
- 37:23Speaker 4: Year and Again hopey you mentioned. It The headliners last
- 37:26Speaker 4: season's number one recruit in the. Nation we've been talking
- 37:29Speaker 4: about him for just about a year. Now Aj debanza
- 37:32Speaker 4: has been exceptional as, advertised six,' nine. Unbelievably talented you mentioned.
- 37:37Speaker 4: It Earlier if peterson's not the number, one pick this,
- 37:40Speaker 4: guy is and, Quite frankly i'm not sure how this
- 37:42Speaker 4: guy isn't to, begin with six' nine can really. Do
- 37:45Speaker 4: it all he's leading the nation and scoring right now
- 37:48Speaker 4: and will be an absolute handful when he. Comes in
- 37:50Speaker 4: here you know the STORY around these byu guys here
- 37:53Speaker 4: as of late is The Injury, to Richie saunders all
- 37:55Speaker 4: big twelve performer. From last year but as much as
- 37:59Speaker 4: Losing an all big twelve guy, Hurts most teams i'm
- 38:02Speaker 4: not sure what it does, To this team, debonsa, Just
- 38:04Speaker 4: says okay i'll. Just, take it oh he's averaging what?
- 38:07Speaker 4: Twenty seven, six it's, up it's. Up it's up it's
- 38:10Speaker 4: close to thirty.
- 38:10Speaker 2: Now.
- 38:11Speaker 4: IT is yeah i mean he's been. He's been unbelievable
- 38:13Speaker 4: so you're gonna get a heavy Dose. Of aj debantsa
- 38:16Speaker 4: the second player you have to keep your Eyes on
- 38:18Speaker 4: Is Baylor, transfer robert wright one of the, best point
- 38:21Speaker 4: guards if not the best point guard. In this league
- 38:23Speaker 4: we saw him Last. Year at baylor he had Sixteen
- 38:26Speaker 4: for the bears last year in an OVERTIME win Over.
- 38:29Speaker 4: Wvu in waco, so those two they came into this
- 38:32Speaker 4: season with a big three relying on those three from.
- 38:35Speaker 4: Most are scoring now it's in the Hands Of right
- 38:38Speaker 4: Andy bantsa to.
- 38:39Speaker 1: Band's a twenty, five a, game seven, boards four assists
- 38:45Speaker 1: shooting fifty three, from the field seventy six at. The
- 38:49Speaker 1: foul line thirty seven from three.
- 38:50Speaker 4: Gets to the line a ton one of the nation's leaders,
- 38:54Speaker 4: in fouls drawn so he'll. Be a handful and right
- 38:56Speaker 4: is as quick and fast as any, guards you'll find
- 38:59Speaker 4: so IT'S imperative for westerni to get back and try
- 39:02Speaker 4: and set. Up that offense let's talk about the matchup,
- 39:05Speaker 4: in some areas this is going to be another game
- 39:07Speaker 4: for A team in byu that tries to get out
- 39:10Speaker 4: and tries. To win it with offense possessions about, Seventy
- 39:13Speaker 4: Per game west virginia's is. About Sixty Two so west
- 39:17Speaker 4: virginia's ability, to make shots get back and set, up
- 39:20Speaker 4: its defense and TRY and slow byu will be. Critical
- 39:23Speaker 4: in this don't turn it over because they're going to
- 39:24Speaker 4: want to go fast to. The other, end rebound wise
- 39:27Speaker 4: we just mentioned that's been a concern over the, last
- 39:29Speaker 4: three games although it hasn't, been all season but it's popped.
- 39:32Speaker 4: UP here recently, byu comes in they're really good, on
- 39:35Speaker 4: the glass third and big twelve play in. Offensive Rebound
- 39:39Speaker 4: percentage west virginia is now seventh in the league, in
- 39:42Speaker 4: that category as they've given up forty three offensive rebounds
- 39:45Speaker 4: to the. Last, THREE opponents offensively i MENTIONED that's what
- 39:48Speaker 4: byu wants to. Win its games eleventh nationally. And offensive
- 39:52Speaker 4: efficiency it's interesting they're not that's. The only category. This
- 39:57Speaker 4: surprised me guys as good as, they've been offenseively that
- 40:01Speaker 4: just overall offensive efficiency is the only category where they're.
- 40:04Speaker 4: Top twenty nationally but they're top like seventy five in.
- 40:08Speaker 4: Every single category so they do basically, Everything well offensively
- 40:12Speaker 4: so you're going to have your. Hands full there they
- 40:15Speaker 4: love to, come off screens so keep an. Eye on
- 40:18Speaker 4: this they're going to work guys off screens now that
- 40:20Speaker 4: has lessened a little bit. With no sounders they like
- 40:23Speaker 4: to run him off a. Bunch of screens west virgin
- 40:25Speaker 4: has been not good. In that area fourteenth defensively in
- 40:29Speaker 4: opponent points per. Possession off screen so my hope is
- 40:32Speaker 4: they do a little bit less of That With, no
- 40:34Speaker 4: richie saunders because that would be, a matchup that based,
- 40:37Speaker 4: on the numbers WOULD. Be advantage byu here's something. To
- 40:41Speaker 4: watch though pick and roll will be heavy, in THIS
- 40:43Speaker 4: game and i know it's a game plan for every
- 40:45Speaker 4: team in, college BASKETBALL nowadays but byu is going to
- 40:48Speaker 4: give you. A heavy dose they're top five percent nationally
- 40:51Speaker 4: in points per possession using the pick and. Roll ball
- 40:53Speaker 4: handler and that's no surprise given THE two guys. I
- 40:56Speaker 4: just said the First. One is debonsa, he is outstanding
- 41:00Speaker 4: number One in the big twelve. In, this category right
- 41:02Speaker 4: is very good at. It as well they've picked this
- 41:05Speaker 4: up over the last four Games with aj he's averaging
- 41:09Speaker 4: nine field goal attempts per game out of the pick
- 41:11Speaker 4: and roll over. The, last FOUR so, As i mentioned,
- 41:14Speaker 4: saunders goes out They turned to. Debonca even more set
- 41:18Speaker 4: him in that pick and, roll and, say go ahead
- 41:20Speaker 4: who's your matchup? For This Guy so brendon laurian is
- 41:23Speaker 4: going to have an important. Individual matchup there you're going
- 41:26Speaker 4: to need some help in the lane so that he
- 41:28Speaker 4: sees a. Lot of defenders he's averaging fourteen. Points a game.
- 41:32Speaker 4: Listen to this the guy's. Scoring so much he gets
- 41:34Speaker 4: fourteen points a game just off the. Pick and roll
- 41:38Speaker 4: that's a good season. For most people if, you're averaging
- 41:40Speaker 4: fourteen he's doing it just off the. Pick and roll
- 41:43Speaker 4: over these, last three games You're Getting a west virginia
- 41:46Speaker 4: defense that is really good at defending this third in
- 41:48Speaker 4: the big twelve against the pick and. Roll ball, handler
- 41:50Speaker 4: and again that's an offensive play type that you see.
- 41:54Speaker 4: All season long so that's going against some of the best.
- 41:56Speaker 1: In this league he ain't, saying nothing yet this six'.
- 41:59Speaker 1: NINE DUDE come.
- 41:59Speaker 4: Back, i i mean again you go through. SOME of,
- 42:02Speaker 4: These names i mean peterson. Did that a bunch flemings has.
- 42:04Speaker 4: Done that a bunch this guy might be the, best at,
- 42:06Speaker 4: Doing It but yes wes, fridy has been very. Very
- 42:09Speaker 4: good at this there's been an increase in dribble jumpers
- 42:12Speaker 4: over the LAST, four GAMES for byu and i think
- 42:15Speaker 4: some of that's because you're catch And shoot shooter. In
- 42:17Speaker 4: saunders is out so there's been six games out of
- 42:21Speaker 4: twenty four with double digit field goal attempts on. Dribble
- 42:25Speaker 4: jumpers for them so six out of their twenty four
- 42:27Speaker 4: where they've had at least ten field goal. Attempts off
- 42:31Speaker 4: dribble jumpers they've exceeded double digit field goal attempts in
- 42:34Speaker 4: each of, the last four games so that's something that's.
- 42:37Speaker 4: Changed significantly for them they're better than forty percent from
- 42:40Speaker 4: the field in just, one of those four so it's
- 42:42Speaker 4: an area they're doing more of haven't necessarily. Made those
- 42:45Speaker 4: shots defense their numbers look, really good on paper but
- 42:51Speaker 4: you can score on these. Guys or teams have they've
- 42:53Speaker 4: given up ninety Plus Four times, in big twelve play
- 42:57Speaker 4: so they'd much rather outscore you than. They would, lock
- 42:59Speaker 4: you so again just Like It, was against oklahoma state
- 43:02Speaker 4: can you control that style and suppress their scoring average
- 43:06Speaker 4: while still? Getting some Buckets yourself off of.
- 43:09Speaker 3: Them's comments that they got, booed the, other NIGHT. Excuse,
- 43:17Speaker 3: me b yu fans who have to be the most Well,
- 43:20Speaker 3: behaved fans in, america booed the team booed the team
- 43:24Speaker 3: in the as THEY.
- 43:25Speaker 2: Were losing to ucf.
- 43:26Speaker 1: That's that probably doesn't Happen Off, at the.
- 43:29Speaker 3: Marriott Center Right uh, coach, KEVIN jung said quote i
- 43:34Speaker 3: hope there was. A level of embarrassment i wasn't upset
- 43:37Speaker 3: with the. Fans or, fans incredibly you know they deserve
- 43:39Speaker 3: to see a product that has a lot more effort
- 43:41Speaker 3: than what, our guys. Showed tonight he said he said
- 43:45Speaker 3: his team's effort, was lazy at. Times lack, of, effort
- 43:48Speaker 3: fans booed.
- 43:49Speaker 4: Yeah this is interesting they've, lost six and nine and
- 43:51Speaker 4: that's not what this team thought when they spent the
- 43:53Speaker 4: money to, put this group together they thought this was a,
- 43:56Speaker 4: national championship contending team and they certainly looked the part for,
- 44:00Speaker 4: a while this season but they have fallen on hard
- 44:02Speaker 4: Times and then obviously saunders going down. Has changed them
- 44:05Speaker 4: tremendously so we'll see what they get when. They COME
- 44:07Speaker 4: in here but, i do know this you're going to
- 44:08Speaker 4: see one of the very best players you'll see to
- 44:10Speaker 4: play In. This, coliseum in debonsa.
- 44:12Speaker 1: Oh think about it think, about through the years how
- 44:14Speaker 1: many number one picks we've had come through. Here, Of
- 44:17Speaker 1: recent vintage right we've had some, dudes on that floor and.
- 44:21Speaker 1: They'll be frothed up that staff will get that team
- 44:24Speaker 1: regenerated and they will. Come Out full fledged robert wright.
- 44:30Speaker 1: Scares me to. Death he's really good he is absolutely
- 44:33Speaker 1: he can just. Knife through a defense. Is a fantastic player.
- 44:37Speaker 3: That's actually that's bad. With, what just happened yeah because they.
- 44:42Speaker 1: Got a bad.
- 44:42Speaker 2: Loss it got, booed, it's, like okay yeah yeah.

- 48:49Speaker 3: It's the emphasizer's offense sometimes a. Winning PLAY sometimes, is,
- 48:53Speaker 3: but i mean really it comes down to the best
- 48:55Speaker 3: to lose your mind if you go for it on
- 48:56Speaker 3: the other team's forty eight and don't make it and they.
- 48:58Speaker 3: Go down losing it but you like.

- 1:00:43Speaker 4: ON The scene reporting. Ajd bouncer really good.
- 1:00:48Speaker 1: The last five or six seasons HAVE been hard on,
- 1:00:50Speaker 1: wv football And Basketball. Minus the mayo bowl my big
- 1:00:54Speaker 1: fears the entire team will transfer out after this season
- 1:00:58Speaker 1: and we wind up with a brand new roster. That
- 1:01:00Speaker 1: goes five again the losses over the last half decade. Have,
- 1:01:03Speaker 1: WORN me down, YEAH i get. It, i get it
- 1:01:09Speaker 1: yeah you want to get? Looking for, some, stability absolutely
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: everyone everyone.
- 1:01:14Speaker 3: And, the most, successful programs generally speaking have, a combination
- 1:01:18Speaker 3: of stability, some level of stability some level of, high
- 1:01:22Speaker 3: school recruitment brand and some.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: Level of transfer in.
- 1:01:25Speaker 4: It's, a tricky formula yeah. It's a tricky formula there's
- 1:01:27Speaker 4: no set there's no. Set mantra for that so, just go.
- 1:01:31Speaker 4: GET go get guys i.
- 1:01:32Speaker 1: Do think that, their people are starting teams, are, starting
- 1:01:37Speaker 1: to learn like how you're going?
- 1:01:38Speaker 5: To?
- 1:01:38Speaker 1: Do this deal right how are you going? To do
- 1:01:41Speaker 1: this deal how do you? PUT your roster together i
- 1:01:45Speaker 1: don't think you need to go. GET ten players anymore. I,
- 1:01:47Speaker 1: don't think so no you will not. BE getting ten players,
- 1:01:50Speaker 1: i mean you will but you get, Seven, guys you
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: pay yeah seven guys you pay correct and if.
- 1:01:56Speaker 4: You now the challenge is the retention part is where
- 1:01:59Speaker 4: it gets tricky, because there's you know just like if
- 1:02:02Speaker 4: you're in the housing market and someone's, dying for. The
- 1:02:05Speaker 4: house they'll overpay and so at Some point. You reference
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: moneyball earlier it's Not so much just, moneyball in this
- 1:02:11Speaker 4: case but you do. Have a salar recap, whatever your
- 1:02:14Speaker 4: salarycap is you've got. To fit within that and that's
- 1:02:18Speaker 4: sometimes what happens is guys, you're trying to retain offers
- 1:02:21Speaker 4: get blown out of the water and you sometimes may
- 1:02:23Speaker 4: have to, say, down the road hey we just, can't
- 1:02:26Speaker 4: pay that number it's not that doesn't fit in our
- 1:02:28Speaker 4: evaluation of. What that number is they, want, to pay
- 1:02:31Speaker 4: that Then so.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: Be in and then sometimes and schools are getting more
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: hard edged about holding. Players to their, Contract Looking at you,
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: Brendan soresby.
- 1:02:43Speaker 1: Million dollars it's gonna be interesting to see how. That
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: thing plays out Cincinnati Quarterback, transferred To texas, tech and

- 1:06:50Speaker 1: For wuvu, versus arizona state gymnastics but He Also HAD
- 1:06:54Speaker 1: the west virginia ucf men's basketball game on HIS iPad

- 1:07:01Speaker 1: phone there he is guy's got an iPad. Work in
- 1:07:04Speaker 1: a phone he stayed out of the doghouse by sending
- 1:07:07Speaker 1: flowers and planning dinner for the Day before all covered.
- 1:07:13Speaker 4: There he's, ON it, and lastly.
- 1:07:16Speaker 1: I think is? It a LAST one the more, i
- 1:07:20Speaker 1: think ABOUT it the more i should have simply not
- 1:07:23Speaker 1: had expectations. About this basketball Season the only reason I'M
- 1:07:27Speaker 1: frustrated is because i thought they were more likely than not.
- 1:07:30Speaker 1: TO make the tournament i blamed. The senator for this
- 1:07:34Speaker 1: he told us after an early scrimmage that we should
- 1:07:36Speaker 1: be cautiously. Optimistic about, this team of course. It's not
- 1:07:40Speaker 1: his fault, as it turned out the reason we felt
- 1:07:42Speaker 1: good after the scrimmage is Because, we were playing maryland
- 1:07:45Speaker 1: who has turned out to be the Worst team. In the,
- 1:07:47Speaker 1: power five So Really this. IS buzz williams's. FAULT i
- 1:07:51Speaker 1: don't KNOW i stand where i was.
- 1:07:53Speaker 4: After that early scrimmage as, of A, week ago late
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: february you were in the hunt for an nca tournament
- 1:07:58Speaker 4: bid with, an entirely new, roster playing three games you
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: thought you. Could win all three you. Win two of
- 1:08:03Speaker 4: those we're having a discussion about what seed. You are right.
- 1:08:05Speaker 1: Now so it.
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: Is it is frustrating stand.
- 1:08:08Speaker 4: By my early take it's.
- 1:08:10Speaker 3: At times frustrating because at times this. Team struggles to score,
- 1:08:15Speaker 3: BUT if, you can i think if you want, to
- 1:08:19Speaker 3: enjoy this season if you want to enjoy the, remainder
- 1:08:22Speaker 3: of the season understand the, limitations of this team and
- 1:08:27Speaker 3: enjoy the effort, and enjoy the competition enjoy. Playing really
- 1:08:31Speaker 3: good teams how, about that for justification not. A rationalization
- 1:08:36Speaker 3: of justification probably.
- 1:08:37Speaker 4: A lot of years though, YOU say that hoppy i
- 1:08:39Speaker 4: mean that's every year you go and. Each team has limitations. Sometimes,
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: IT'S different.
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: Limitations yeah i get i'm trying to address where people.
- 1:08:50Speaker 3: Are so bummed out it's like a, text, FROM people like.
- 1:08:53Speaker 3: OH i forget this i mean people want to write
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: there are some who want to, write The team off
- 1:08:58Speaker 3: and i'm addressing those who want or write.
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: The team at here.
- 1:09:01Speaker 1: Here's the deal, MAN in my opinion i think the
- 1:09:04Speaker 1: frustration level is unusual for a first year coach because
- 1:09:14Speaker 1: what why people are frustrated is because this basketball program
- 1:09:18Speaker 1: has been inside of a. Blender for four years and
- 1:09:23Speaker 1: what fans want is they want the normalcy of, winning
- 1:09:28Speaker 1: that they know and it hasn't. Happened for four years
- 1:09:33Speaker 1: and that is. Why, PEOPLE are frustrated now. I, can understand,
- 1:09:37Speaker 1: that however when you as we, said a million times
- 1:09:41Speaker 1: when you take and bring in, a completely new staff
- 1:09:44Speaker 1: a completely, new group of players and try to compete
- 1:09:48Speaker 1: in the number one, league in the country and you're
- 1:09:51Speaker 1: sitting here and you you can still conceivably you can
- 1:09:55Speaker 1: go five hundred in. This league this year that's a.
- 1:09:58Speaker 1: Hell OF a job so i think a lot of
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: people are looking at what you have right now and think.
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: This is the rest this is this is. Will continue
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: over time this isn't going. To continue over time this
- 1:10:09Speaker 1: team is going to win more games than it loses in.
- 1:10:12Speaker 1: League play going forward this. Team is, building players this,
- 1:10:16Speaker 1: TEAM you don't.
- 1:10:16Speaker 3: Mean i, mean this, particular team, this program this program
- 1:10:21Speaker 3: this program is going.
- 1:10:22Speaker 1: To CONTINUE to win so. I understand, everyone's frustration you've
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: had you, had an interim situation you had all the craziness,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: that led To that you had, darren in and out
- 1:10:34Speaker 1: and now this guy just gets in here and like
- 1:10:37Speaker 1: he's setting the. He's setting the table he's, going to
- 1:10:39Speaker 1: be here. He's not going anywhere he's going to build
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: this thing up and you're. Going TO enjoy it but
- 1:10:42Speaker 1: i think for now people are frustrated because it's been
- 1:10:45Speaker 1: four years now where you're sitting here and, you're you're going,
- 1:10:48Speaker 1: like wait a second we used to be in that
- 1:10:49Speaker 1: party and they're let. Us into that party that's. Why
- 1:10:51Speaker 1: people are frustrated but if you take a look at
- 1:10:53Speaker 1: the reality of what's happening, IN front, of you i
- 1:10:56Speaker 1: mean you've taken these guys and they're fifth in the
- 1:10:58Speaker 1: nation going into the last game in scoring, Defense with
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: these cats. Well that's gonna continue he's gonna, guard every
- 1:11:05Speaker 1: single year and then you're gonna increase and. Improve your
- 1:11:08Speaker 1: offensive capabilities. You're gonna, win, GAMES so like yeah i
- 1:11:13Speaker 1: know it's a bum out that you're not going to. Be,
- 1:11:15Speaker 1: in the party however, at the. Same time you're optimistic
- 1:11:18Speaker 1: i'm optimistic about what. The, thing's building into agreed. That's what,
- 1:11:23Speaker 1: it is same thing, Same Thing in football like rich
- 1:11:26Speaker 1: is not going to. Have multiple losing seasons he's gonna
- 1:11:29Speaker 1: get the. Thing CRANKED back up so i think we're.
- 1:11:34Speaker 1: In a good position but right now we're not smelling
- 1:11:36Speaker 1: flowers because the bulbs are still in the ground. Getting,
- 1:11:39Speaker 1: ready to. SPURT nice nice metaphor i think. That's, what's
- 1:11:41Speaker 1: gonna happen yeah that's just. Just one Guy's.
