- 3:09Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 3:09Speaker 1: Ippy alluded that we had a little bit of more
- 3:11Speaker 1: travel issues on the way back. It's one thing, right,
- 3:15Speaker 1: It's one thing to get here.
- 3:16Speaker 2: It is.
- 3:17Speaker 1: It's like, here's the combo here's the combo meal. You
- 3:19Speaker 1: want the combo meal. Yeah, here's the combo meal. Number one.
- 3:22Speaker 1: You play on the road, okay. Number two it's a
- 3:25Speaker 1: late start. Number three, you don't play well, you get beat.
- 3:29Speaker 1: So number four you already know you're coming home late.
- 3:32Speaker 1: What you don't need, what you don't need. After you
- 3:35Speaker 1: pull out of the Clarksburg International Airport at about three
- 3:39Speaker 1: point thirty in the morning, ten minutes up the interstate.
- 3:43Speaker 1: You don't need a guy in a pickup hauling a
- 3:46Speaker 1: trailer lose control, smash both sides, hit a concrete abutment
- 3:54Speaker 1: that was there and took that. You couldn't pass the lane.
- 3:59Speaker 1: The two late took all the two lanes of traffic
- 4:01Speaker 1: where had stuff on them. So we set dead ass
- 4:04Speaker 1: stopped for an hour of fifteen minutes on the interstate.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Not ideal trip. We had snow and went to Ohio State,
- 4:11Speaker 1: had to stay the extra night. Had playing issues against
- 4:14Speaker 1: Iowa State. It's not been fun anyway. That's under the Beltway.
- 4:20Speaker 1: Who cares?
- 4:21Speaker 2: Move on?
- 4:22Speaker 1: We got Colorado in here. The rare six pm Saturday game. Interesting,
- 4:28Speaker 1: that is a different start time. First first game of
- 4:31Speaker 1: the Ross Hodge era post first Big twelve game of
- 4:35Speaker 1: the Ross Hodge era where the students are in session
- 4:38Speaker 1: because they weren't here last Saturday. Technically they was moving
- 4:41Speaker 1: day last Saturday. Students weren't in session and we didn't
- 4:43Speaker 1: play a league game obviously, So first truly hopefully you
- 4:46Speaker 1: get a good crowd in there and get a good virus.
- 4:48Speaker 1: They were there for Kansas. They were trickling they were trickling.
- 4:52Speaker 1: There was a lot that warn't a lot that weren't right.
- 4:55Speaker 1: So that's what we have coming up. Hoppy's obvious observations.
- 5:00Speaker 2: Yeah, I've got a lot today. Huh, I got a lot? Really?
- 5:04Speaker 1: Yeah, house you went to Charleston.
- 5:07Speaker 2: Yeah, but that has nothing to do with these options.
- 5:09Speaker 2: I can give you something on that too, but I
- 5:12Speaker 2: don't think you want to anyone.
- 5:13Speaker 1: Anyone talked to you about the podcast when you were
- 5:15Speaker 1: down in Charleston.
- 5:16Speaker 2: Oh, there's three guys references always.
- 5:19Speaker 1: Do you feel that three guys like you're not known
- 5:23Speaker 1: for what you did for ninety eight percent of your
- 5:25Speaker 1: life and this is the thing that people know you for.
- 5:27Speaker 2: Yeah, it's kind of wild. That'll be in the that
- 5:30Speaker 2: that'll be in the lead, Brad and the obituary.
- 5:33Speaker 1: That would be Seriously, if you get mentioned for three
- 5:37Speaker 1: guys before, if that says podcast, if it says podcast
- 5:41Speaker 1: before talk shows, that will be one of the all
- 5:44Speaker 1: time upsets.
- 5:45Speaker 2: Actually, this would be this would be a great post
- 5:49Speaker 2: passing thing. One of you guys, Tony, you write the
- 5:53Speaker 2: little bit and make sure that's in the lead.
- 5:55Speaker 1: I'd be courageful. Comma Comma, a renowned podcast.
- 6:02Speaker 3: This is very morbid. Anything else.
- 6:05Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by
- 6:06Speaker 1: lou Wendel Marine Sales Hopy just did a thing in Charleston.
- 6:09Speaker 1: That means he wasn't far from Saint Albans, the home
- 6:11Speaker 1: base of lou Wendell. They've been there for forty years,
- 6:13Speaker 1: family owned business, and they are the premiere pontoon boat
- 6:17Speaker 1: dealer in the state of West Virginia. I mentioned early
- 6:19Speaker 1: on they're also the only the only Honda Marine premium
- 6:22Speaker 1: dealership in the state of West Virginia. That's not something
- 6:25Speaker 1: that Honda just kind of like throws out there. You
- 6:28Speaker 1: gotta be you gotta have your stuff together. So in
- 6:30Speaker 1: this winter season, while perhaps we're not thinking daily of boating,
- 6:34Speaker 1: this would be a great opportunity for you to take
- 6:36Speaker 1: a look what's out there. They've got that brand new
- 6:38Speaker 1: Honda mcclearing racing motor. It is in one word, it's
- 6:43Speaker 1: it's fast. It's fast. It's a four letter word and
- 6:46Speaker 1: it goes. So think about boating now you might get
- 6:48Speaker 1: some great off season deals. Visit lou Wendell Marine Sales.
- 6:52Speaker 1: I mentioned the Tutor's biscuit. Folks, this is a cold
- 6:55Speaker 1: weather day. As we come into the studio, Tutor's biscuits
- 6:58Speaker 1: right now, they've got this special that's going on. They
- 7:01Speaker 1: call this, they call this their Sunrise Special. I still
- 7:05Speaker 1: can't get over it, because you know, I like, I
- 7:07Speaker 1: like good enterprise economy. Yes, you do, five American dollars
- 7:11Speaker 1: for five bucks. You get a choice of the run
- 7:13Speaker 1: or the Merrybee biscuit, twelve ounce coffee or a twenty
- 7:16Speaker 1: ounce zed tea, and an order of hash rounds. Take
- 7:18Speaker 1: advantage of it. Five bucks out of your pocket, that's all,
- 7:22Speaker 1: and you get all that's sad deal food. And yeah,
- 7:25Speaker 1: it's the Sunrise Special at lasts throughout the month of
- 7:28Speaker 1: January and in the February. And as I said on
- 7:31Speaker 1: many occasions, the cat sized head biscuits bigger than the competition.
- 7:35Speaker 1: Bacon's better, right, sausage is bigger.
- 7:38Speaker 2: Stop his bread. Bread's dying over here.
- 7:39Speaker 1: He's an American, all right, I'm sorry, I apologize for
- 7:42Speaker 1: doing that. Let's do this.
- 7:43Speaker 3: He's got thoughts that sound brand new, but the things
- 7:46Speaker 3: we already knew.
- 7:48Speaker 2: He got his bomb ready, heaven knows.
- 7:51Speaker 3: Let's take it quick before.
- 7:56Speaker 2: Obvious. What you got some of you said, I haven't
- 8:07Speaker 2: been obvious enough, So I'll start with this. Houston's really good. Woo. Yeah,
- 8:11Speaker 2: Flemings appropriately, Brad got a lot of attention, but you
- 8:14Speaker 2: know what happens when Flemings goes out with a couple
- 8:16Speaker 2: of fouls. Other dudes, other guys. They got guys. Uzan
- 8:21Speaker 2: was really good, Tugler was good. Their defense is just
- 8:24Speaker 2: elite West Virginia, Brad. When you're playing a team like that,
- 8:29Speaker 2: with that kind of defense and that kind of talent,
- 8:31Speaker 2: what do you not want to do? Early? Turn it over,
- 8:33Speaker 2: turn it over and get behind. West Virginia got behind
- 8:36Speaker 2: and turned it over. Struggle from there. Thought the West
- 8:40Speaker 2: Virginia defense was pretty good first half. First half it
- 8:43Speaker 2: was held him to thirty three. Take that all day, right,
- 8:46Speaker 2: So West Virginia's defense was pretty good. DJ Thomas good
- 8:48Speaker 2: off the bench six of eight from the field, four
- 8:51Speaker 2: to five from three point range, kind of kept him
- 8:52Speaker 2: in there when West Virginia was hanging around. West Virginia
- 8:55Speaker 2: battled back in the second half, but every time they
- 8:57Speaker 2: got close, Woo Houston would go on a run. Brad.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I heard you in the pregame talking about when they bully.
- 9:04Speaker 2: You got a bully him back, which you do, but
- 9:07Speaker 2: then you need help from the whistle. Didn't get that,
- 9:11Speaker 2: did not get that? Obi Oha two thousand and first,
- 9:14Speaker 2: forty seconds, twenty one seconds, twenty one seconds, that's what
- 9:16Speaker 2: it was, nineteen thirty nine on the clock, and you're
- 9:18Speaker 2: having to bring out your.
- 9:19Speaker 3: Big guy for two ticket tacks.
- 9:21Speaker 2: Tony might have mentioned that fourteen times in the broadcast.
- 9:25Speaker 2: It was relevant, and I know you'll talk about college.
- 9:29Speaker 1: Just he gave me relevancy.
- 9:31Speaker 2: I report, you decide, So just just move on, you know,
- 9:36Speaker 2: just move on, and Brad, you'll break down. Colorado. West
- 9:38Speaker 2: Virginia women lost a heartbreaker last night, fifty one to fifty.
- 9:43Speaker 2: W came from fourteen down, but Marta Suarez hit a
- 9:46Speaker 2: three at the gun. Brad, she's the leading three point
- 9:49Speaker 2: She had not shot well from three point range, but
- 9:51Speaker 2: the game was on the line. She made a three
- 9:53Speaker 2: heartbreaker for West Virginia. So we talk a lot about
- 9:57Speaker 2: the importance of players, right, and so I look through
- 10:01Speaker 2: melk Hyper's position rankings for the upcoming NFL Draft.
- 10:06Speaker 1: We just returned to football.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Yeah, abrupt turn, abrupt turn. He was to ten players
- 10:13Speaker 2: at each position in the draft, one hundred and forty
- 10:16Speaker 2: five players. Usual teams have a bunch of players Ohio State, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Indiana,
- 10:21Speaker 2: Texas A and m WHO. Indiana is new to that.
- 10:23Speaker 2: But there's also players in his one forty five from
- 10:26Speaker 2: Wake Forest, Kentucky, Temple, North Carolina State, Wyoming, San Diego State, Toledo.
- 10:31Speaker 2: You know where I'm going with this, West Virginia. Not
- 10:33Speaker 2: one player in that one forty five. Now that's just
- 10:36Speaker 2: a projection, but still gotta have players. Nobody in the
- 10:40Speaker 2: one forty five they helped tremendously they do in obviously
- 10:44Speaker 2: obviously n CUAA conventions underway in Washington. A couple of
- 10:47Speaker 2: notable takeaways from NCAA President Charlie Baker. Entrance is kind
- 10:53Speaker 2: of surprise me. Entrance in the NCAA Transfer portal FBS
- 10:56Speaker 2: and FCS football football has shrunk by twenty three percent,
- 11:01Speaker 2: actually down attributing to schools being able to negotiate with
- 11:05Speaker 2: players attention directly. Division one cabinet expected to adopt legislation
- 11:11Speaker 2: it would allow commercial jersey patches. Commercial jersey patch.
- 11:15Speaker 3: Which is good because of all the things going on
- 11:17Speaker 3: in college athletics, you absolutely have to get the jersey
- 11:20Speaker 3: pass Jersey Patch pass.
- 11:22Speaker 2: That's probably high on the list.
- 11:23Speaker 3: Had to get that done, so excellent work there at
- 11:25Speaker 3: the convention to make sure that got through.
- 11:28Speaker 2: Just looking for other ways to raise money, man, good,
- 11:31Speaker 2: just looking for that.
- 11:32Speaker 3: Can we fix up the transfer stuff first?
- 11:34Speaker 2: Well, there is a change in the basketball transfer right
- 11:38Speaker 2: there is. There is so for men's and women's basketball,
- 11:41Speaker 2: following a recommendation from both men's and women's basketball oversight committees.
- 11:46Speaker 2: Fifteen day period opening at the conclusion of the tournament.
- 11:52Speaker 2: So that's when that's when you'll have the transfer period
- 11:55Speaker 2: for men's women's basketball. Any of you, either of you
- 11:59Speaker 2: go into the name Sational Championship Football game, probably not,
- 12:03Speaker 2: don't have it on the list yet. Average ticket price
- 12:07Speaker 2: on the secondary market thirty five hundred dollars prior to fees, etcetera, etcetera.
- 12:16Speaker 2: They've and also since that came out, they since since
- 12:19Speaker 2: the playoff games, the last two games, they've jumped to
- 12:22Speaker 2: forty one hundred dollars. Wow, that's a sixty percent increase
- 12:25Speaker 2: from last year and a four hundred percent increase since
- 12:28Speaker 2: twenty fifteen.
- 12:29Speaker 1: Do you imagine the Indiana fan who for years was
- 12:33Speaker 1: mired in mediocrity, And I mean.
- 12:37Speaker 3: That's been mediocrity is being nice.
- 12:38Speaker 1: Yeah, for them to even think, like a long time
- 12:41Speaker 1: any off, if we could just get to the Rose Bowl,
- 12:43Speaker 1: like that would be the point of closing. And now
- 12:45Speaker 1: you're in the National Championship. And so you know what
- 12:47Speaker 1: I bet people are doing. If you're Indiana, They're going
- 12:49Speaker 1: like how much is it?
- 12:49Speaker 2: Four grand? All right?
- 12:51Speaker 1: I'm in Really you think probably, I really truly do,
- 12:54Speaker 1: because they know they very well could be a once
- 12:56Speaker 1: in a lifetime shot. Although a lot of people think
- 12:58Speaker 1: Indiana suddenly is going to win in a row. But regardless,
- 13:02Speaker 1: I think they will be out in mass It's expensive ticket,
- 13:06Speaker 1: It's unbelievable.
- 13:07Speaker 2: Yeah, on this day in sports history, like when he
- 13:10Speaker 2: goes and does East nineteen sixty one, and I try
- 13:12Speaker 2: to make a West Virginia relevance here. The eleventh Pro
- 13:15Speaker 2: Bowl was played on the state in nineteen sixty one.
- 13:17Speaker 2: The Western Conference beat the Eastern Conference thirty five to
- 13:19Speaker 2: thirty one. MVPs were Johnny Unitas and Sam Huff from
- 13:23Speaker 2: West Virginia. How about that played for the Giants then,
- 13:26Speaker 2: so got a West Virginia note on that.
- 13:29Speaker 1: And if you want to go even further than that. Yeah,
- 13:32Speaker 1: I suddenly went into a Vin scully. Yeah, and you
- 13:35Speaker 1: know Johnny Unitas and Sam Huff also came together before
- 13:39Speaker 1: a West Virginia Louisville football game at Louisville where they
- 13:43Speaker 1: went out for the ceremonial coin toss.
- 13:46Speaker 2: Nice remember that? Yeah, I don't remember that.
- 13:48Speaker 1: Well, you think it might be even before year. So
- 13:51Speaker 1: Schnellenberger was the coach. We had a ton of rain
- 13:54Speaker 1: and they went and they were playing at the Louisville Tripa,
- 13:56Speaker 1: a baseball stadium. They brought a helicopter in got close
- 14:02Speaker 1: above the field trying to get the moisture to lift up. Yeah,
- 14:08Speaker 1: well they built it is the game of the century.
- 14:10Speaker 1: Two things. I remember Eugene Napoleon in one of those
- 14:14Speaker 1: games there that they've they've every year. It was the
- 14:16Speaker 1: game of the century whenever you would go back. So
- 14:19Speaker 1: Eugene Napoleon had a big game. Chris Pecan scored three
- 14:23Speaker 1: touchdowns against Louisville in one game, which he would tell
- 14:26Speaker 1: you about in the first seven seconds every time I
- 14:28Speaker 1: see him. Did you know that I scored? Yeah, Chris,
- 14:30Speaker 1: I got He scored three against Louisville. Any other thing
- 14:34Speaker 1: major major In an unbelievable scramble, Houdini get out of tackle,
- 14:40Speaker 1: spin turned spin, back, turned his back to the place,
- 14:44Speaker 1: spin throws it down to Greg Dike's.
- 14:46Speaker 2: Wow, they remember Greg.
- 14:50Speaker 1: Greg Dykes caught a touchdown right at the goal line.
- 14:53Speaker 2: You can look that up.
- 14:54Speaker 1: You three guys people out there that have nothing else
- 14:56Speaker 1: going on right now, just kind of like maybe on
- 14:58Speaker 1: vacation or something.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Look that one up, Greg Dyke. Both of those great
- 15:01Speaker 2: legends united in huff have passed on.
- 15:03Speaker 1: Unbelievable hop. You did a nice job.
- 15:05Speaker 2: Thank you appreciate it.
- 15:06Speaker 1: One thing, I mean, it's not getting any You had
- 15:09Speaker 1: gone off the course of being less obvious. Now he
- 15:12Speaker 1: was more of back.
- 15:12Speaker 2: Yeah, bring it back to your roots. I mean.
- 15:18Speaker 3: Well, I mean the hus TV, I mean he was good.
- 15:20Speaker 3: He told you DJ Thomas had a good game. That
- 15:22Speaker 3: was right perfect?
- 15:23Speaker 1: How about yeah you mean Steph Curry, DJ Thomas great?
- 15:27Speaker 2: Well that was something kind of sort a little bit
- 15:33Speaker 2: thoughts from you didn't know about the patch though, digit Yeah,
- 15:37Speaker 2: I've heard that.
- 15:38Speaker 1: Yeah, they'll sell that baby. Three guys gonna be on
- 15:41Speaker 1: Mountaineer jerseys.
- 15:42Speaker 2: Why not?
- 15:44Speaker 1: Can you get get a good phone call? And the
- 15:45Speaker 1: Wrent see what that cost.
- 15:46Speaker 3: Us Wren is getting.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Now, I'll just selling patches.
- 15:55Speaker 1: We should do a thing like who do you think
- 15:56Speaker 1: is going to be the patch on the Mountaineer uniform? Now,
- 16:00Speaker 1: there's gonna be some people that are gonna want that patch,
- 16:02Speaker 1: I would think, wouldn't you?
- 16:04Speaker 3: Oh yeah, oh yeah, Patchel, So.
- 16:07Speaker 1: You used to sell that stuff. Pat you think the
- 16:10Speaker 1: patch could sell compared to where you had to sell
- 16:12Speaker 1: like you had to go do schedule cards.
- 16:13Speaker 2: You think.
- 16:15Speaker 1: You think would be an easier set scheduled guards.
- 16:19Speaker 3: Well, it's a bigger ticket item as well, so that'll
- 16:21Speaker 3: limits the number of businesses that will be involved. But yes,
- 16:24Speaker 3: it'll be I'm just saying, can they get some other
- 16:26Speaker 3: stuff done at the convention?
- 16:27Speaker 2: Is my point?
- 16:29Speaker 3: Fine on the patches, I don't care if patches are inner,
- 16:31Speaker 3: patches are out, get some other stuff done? True, true, then,
- 16:34Speaker 3: but I just I don't know if that's a rare
- 16:36Speaker 3: move of common sense though to get the basketball. Plus
- 16:39Speaker 3: as for the championship, I'm glad that took seven years
- 16:41Speaker 3: to everybody to come to the conclusion. You know what
- 16:43Speaker 3: we should do, We should wait till the season ends
- 16:46Speaker 3: before there can be player movement.
- 16:47Speaker 1: Great idea pass.
- 16:49Speaker 2: That's that's important too, because that means up until that point,
- 16:52Speaker 2: there can be no discussions with the young men. That's correct,
- 16:56Speaker 2: young women, yes, correct, So there.
- 16:58Speaker 3: Will be no communication with the young man minute.
- 17:01Speaker 2: Another in the first phone call, as.
- 17:03Speaker 3: Soon as one shining moment is done playing the calls.
- 17:09Speaker 2: Yeah, it's NonStop, and there's only fifteen days where we
- 17:11Speaker 2: can have those discussions.
- 17:12Speaker 1: So it's NonStop. I mean, one thing that folks aren't
- 17:15Speaker 1: even counting into this, it's going on right now. I
- 17:18Speaker 1: mean the players are while the season's going on, players
- 17:22Speaker 1: are dropping their agent, getting new agents. New agents are
- 17:25Speaker 1: pitching themselves to players and their families. That's all getting
- 17:28Speaker 1: all lined up right now. Who we're talking to. That said,
- 17:32Speaker 1: there's three levels.
- 17:33Speaker 2: There's agents who know what they're doing, an agents who
- 17:36Speaker 2: don't know what they're doing, and then there's somebody's uncle
- 17:38Speaker 2: exactly I forget who, Yeah, I was with you? Who?
- 17:40Speaker 2: I forget? Who told us? Was that a Brad's house? Uh?
- 17:43Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll leave it at that. Okay, Yeah, we'll leave
- 17:45Speaker 1: it at that. Another big story that's developing. The American
- 17:48Speaker 1: Football Coaches Association held its annual conference in Charlotte. This
- 17:53Speaker 1: week and the topic of an extra year of eligibility
- 17:58Speaker 1: the five years to play five, and it went off
- 18:02Speaker 1: of a weird track. So people were thinking, okay, it's
- 18:06Speaker 1: five to play five. We're pretty good here. But instead
- 18:08Speaker 1: the coaches went like, right now, you can play four
- 18:12Speaker 1: and get a red shirt year. Coaches proposed nine games
- 18:18Speaker 1: to get a red shirt year. You could still play
- 18:20Speaker 1: nine and get a red shirt and so it makes
- 18:23Speaker 1: you do just like you just say like, why nine. Well,
- 18:26Speaker 1: here's what's happening. Right, Guys are playing the first four
- 18:29Speaker 1: weeks of the season, and then what do they do?
- 18:33Speaker 1: They shut it down. We've seen that here, we saw
- 18:35Speaker 1: that here this year. So coaches are going give me nine,
- 18:40Speaker 1: which would be September October, take me through the first
- 18:44Speaker 1: week in November nine, and if you go away, okay,
- 18:48Speaker 1: I won't hurt as bad. But the second piece of
- 18:51Speaker 1: that is if they just came out and said five
- 18:56Speaker 1: to play five, everyone who's eligibility has expired would go
- 19:01Speaker 1: you cheated me out of a year. I took a
- 19:04Speaker 1: red shirt year, denying me a full year of eligibility,
- 19:08Speaker 1: denying me another year where I could have made money.
- 19:11Speaker 1: And so as a result, I'm suing, and they're totally
- 19:15Speaker 1: afraid of that happening. So they just said we're gonna
- 19:18Speaker 1: change it to nine.
- 19:19Speaker 3: They may not have a choice. If Division two votes
- 19:22Speaker 3: to pass five for five, which is on the table,
- 19:25Speaker 3: some feel it's going to pass, then Division one is
- 19:28Speaker 3: handcuffed and they have to pass it. Here come the
- 19:30Speaker 3: lawsuit because it's the same organ again. The same organization
- 19:33Speaker 3: is going to pass it for one level and then
- 19:35Speaker 3: you're gonna have another. So that's five and five is
- 19:37Speaker 3: still in play.
- 19:38Speaker 2: We're getting closer to Tony's desire to wants I used to.
- 19:42Speaker 1: I mean, my concept, but my concept was you only
- 19:47Speaker 1: see if people. Perhaps I forgot my concept. My concept
- 19:51Speaker 1: was one player gets to play ten years, and he's
- 19:56Speaker 1: your franchise player, and you build everything around he's a
- 20:01Speaker 1: person that's not really he's a superb college player, not
- 20:05Speaker 1: quite good enough to play in a professional league, and
- 20:08Speaker 1: he becomes your franchise. He's your franchise and I would say, like,
- 20:11Speaker 1: I'd love to have a franchise ten year quarterback. It
- 20:13Speaker 1: would be freaking hilarious. I didn't want everyone to be
- 20:16Speaker 1: able to play seven, eight, nine years, just one dude,
- 20:21Speaker 1: So Brad could put that player on his schedule card.
- 20:23Speaker 1: This is our franchise player for ten years.
- 20:28Speaker 2: This is our guy.

- 22:39Speaker 1: they have one, but just ask for you never know.
- 22:42Speaker 1: All right, what do we got.
- 22:44Speaker 3: Let's look back at what we said Friday or what
- 22:46Speaker 3: we said Monday to what came to fruition. This does
- 22:50Speaker 3: not have to be a long list.
- 22:51Speaker 2: Hop, No, no, because it's yeah, Chuck.
- 22:53Speaker 3: We're said on Monday. The challenge coming into this, among
- 22:56Speaker 3: a bunch of challenges was you're facing another top ten defense.
- 22:59Speaker 3: Houston came in that game sixth in defensive efficiency. That
- 23:02Speaker 3: was the second time in a week he'd faced the
- 23:04Speaker 3: number six defense. Cincinnata was the first one. Houston was
- 23:07Speaker 3: also number five nationally in turnovers. Put in all caps.
- 23:11Speaker 3: Hop on my notes, you can preciate it right there. Yes,
- 23:13Speaker 3: must handle the double that is coming off ball screens. Well,
- 23:16Speaker 3: they do double, don't double up top on the ball screens.
- 23:19Speaker 3: And then in the post, West Virginia had to not
- 23:23Speaker 3: turn it over in order to be in the game,
- 23:25Speaker 3: and unfortunately that didn't turn out so well. Turn it
- 23:27Speaker 3: over fifteen times. That led to seventeen points for Houston
- 23:31Speaker 3: in a plus nine points off turnovers for the Cougars.
- 23:35Speaker 3: We had mentioned that Houston was in the one hundredth
- 23:38Speaker 3: percentile in points per possession off live ball turnovers.
- 23:41Speaker 2: Is that good? Yeah? If you're in the one hundred
- 23:42Speaker 2: percent of that's very good.
- 23:44Speaker 3: Yeah, ninetieth percentile and frequency of getting those live ball turnovers,
- 23:47Speaker 3: and they were deadly from three off of those, they
- 23:50Speaker 3: shot fifty two percent coming into that game from three
- 23:53Speaker 3: point land. Twelve of the fifteen turnovers were live ball turnovers,
- 23:57Speaker 3: one point two five points off per points per possession
- 24:00Speaker 3: off those turnovers, so that came to frustion. They were
- 24:03Speaker 3: just two of eight from three though, so that saved
- 24:05Speaker 3: you a little bit on some of those, but it
- 24:07Speaker 3: was the turnovers. It was the live ball turnovers that
- 24:10Speaker 3: were so difficult. Mentioned coming in that these were two
- 24:12Speaker 3: of the three teams in the bottom three and Big
- 24:15Speaker 3: twelve in Big twelve games excuse me, among Big twelve
- 24:19Speaker 3: teams in shots at the rim. And so you saw
- 24:22Speaker 3: that in the first half, and you mentioned wester Vine's defense.
- 24:25Speaker 3: It was good in the first half. You had closed
- 24:27Speaker 3: off the lane, forced them to shoot around the arc,
- 24:30Speaker 3: and they weren't necessarily blistering hot. You were holding them
- 24:33Speaker 3: to one shot, just four offensive rebounds, only four second
- 24:36Speaker 3: chance points in the first half. So you were seeing
- 24:39Speaker 3: a defensive effort that you wanted to see. The game
- 24:42Speaker 3: played out that way with Houston only taking seven field
- 24:45Speaker 3: goal attempts at the rimo. So that's one thing. If
- 24:48Speaker 3: you try to look at them moving forward, I'll be
- 24:49Speaker 3: interested to see how that offense, how far that can
- 24:52Speaker 3: carry them. Can that get them into a national title
- 24:55Speaker 3: game again? When they can only when they just don't
- 24:57Speaker 3: get to the rim very much? They depend a lot
- 24:59Speaker 3: on that. Three and West Virginia part of that. I
- 25:02Speaker 3: thought did a really nice job on Kingston Flemings. Yes,
- 25:04Speaker 3: he was in foul trouble for the first half and
- 25:06Speaker 3: they didn't need him, But even when he came in
- 25:08Speaker 3: the second half, he didn't He was not able to
- 25:10Speaker 3: get downhill like he normally does. But to your point,
- 25:14Speaker 3: what do they end up doing? They can kick to
- 25:16Speaker 3: another guy. Milos Uzan came into that game shooting twenty
- 25:19Speaker 3: nine percent from three. So in games, guys, you're gonna
- 25:22Speaker 3: live with something, right, what can you live with as
- 25:24Speaker 3: a defense? You're generally not gonna be able to shut
- 25:27Speaker 3: everything off. Would you would have left, You would have
- 25:30Speaker 3: lived with Uzan shooting from three, Yet he goes five
- 25:33Speaker 3: of nine on you from distance. Was very good. He
- 25:36Speaker 3: got some looks and he knocked them down. This game
- 25:38Speaker 3: really well. Let me go back to a West Virginia
- 25:40Speaker 3: side of things too. At the Rim, West Virginia was
- 25:43Speaker 3: held to a season low just eight two point field goals,
- 25:46Speaker 3: who previous low had been eleven. It was only the
- 25:49Speaker 3: second time in the last six games that West Virginia
- 25:51Speaker 3: did not make double digit threes in that game, so
- 25:55Speaker 3: weren't getting inside and getting the two and didn't have
- 25:58Speaker 3: enough threes to balance that out. This really came down
- 26:01Speaker 3: to three categories, and the two of them were what
- 26:03Speaker 3: we were concerned about going in. One was second chance
- 26:06Speaker 3: points in Houston's ability to hit the offensive glass. I
- 26:09Speaker 3: just mentioned they didn't do it in the first half,
- 26:11Speaker 3: but they did in the second when they had fifteen
- 26:14Speaker 3: second chance points. They end up plus thirteen in that
- 26:17Speaker 3: category for the game. They were plus eight in that category.
- 26:20Speaker 3: Ear in points off turnovers, I'm sorry, plus nine in
- 26:25Speaker 3: that category, sets plus twenty two points right there. You
- 26:28Speaker 3: add in the advantage they got at the free throw
- 26:30Speaker 3: line where they scored eleven more points, and that comes
- 26:33Speaker 3: out to what plus thirty three points? What was the
- 26:35Speaker 3: final score? Yeah, it was a what was it right
- 26:37Speaker 3: in that rage? Right?
- 26:39Speaker 2: Twenty nine?
- 26:39Speaker 3: Yeah, So that was the difference in the game. Those
- 26:42Speaker 3: three categories right there. West Virginia had thirty one points
- 26:46Speaker 3: out of the pick and roll ball handler over the
- 26:48Speaker 3: previous two games, but had just two versus Houston. You
- 26:51Speaker 3: just weren't again, part of that's the way they guard
- 26:54Speaker 3: that they jump and try and force that ball out
- 26:56Speaker 3: of your hand. Honor had twenty of those thirty one
- 27:00Speaker 3: and the previous two games against Houston he had zero points,
- 27:03Speaker 3: so that closed that down. They had three kill shots
- 27:06Speaker 3: in the game. Those are defined by Evan Mikawa as
- 27:10Speaker 3: ten to nothing or better runs. They had a ten
- 27:13Speaker 3: ozero run, a thirteen oh run, and a seventeen to
- 27:15Speaker 3: nothing run. That's where those that's just so devastating, right
- 27:18Speaker 3: Your margin for air is so thin, and then when
- 27:20Speaker 3: they get rolling, you've got to find a way to
- 27:22Speaker 3: stop those kills, and you just you weren't able to
- 27:25Speaker 3: do it. Hope you mentioned DJ I'm with you. I
- 27:28Speaker 3: thought he was fantastic. Four threes all from four different
- 27:31Speaker 3: spots on the floor. That's a spot we saw that
- 27:33Speaker 3: the year before. Tony down there with Amani Hansbury was
- 27:36Speaker 3: able to come out to start the second half down
- 27:38Speaker 3: there with three threes. That pick and pop from your
- 27:40Speaker 3: big is available and I thought DJ was was really
- 27:43Speaker 3: good in handling that role. He has now moved in
- 27:47Speaker 3: to having the second best points per possession average on
- 27:50Speaker 3: the team, behind only Honor, So again a stat that
- 27:53Speaker 3: backs up what your eyes are telling you that when
- 27:55Speaker 3: he comes in, his ability to stretch the floor and
- 27:58Speaker 3: bring that four man and that other big out has
- 28:01Speaker 3: been a real advantage. Especially here in Big twelve play,
- 28:04Speaker 3: he's been excellent. He's one of the most efficient players
- 28:08Speaker 3: nationally in guarded catch and shoots, so he's not just
- 28:12Speaker 3: hitting those wide open ones. He's in the top two
- 28:15Speaker 3: percent nationally in points per possession on guarded catch and
- 28:18Speaker 3: shoot jump shots. So that continues to be a guy
- 28:21Speaker 3: that as you're looking for for folks you hope you
- 28:24Speaker 3: can retain and stay with you. If DJ Thomas could
- 28:26Speaker 3: stick around for a couple of years, I think it's clear,
- 28:28Speaker 3: and it's been clear for a while that I think
- 28:30Speaker 3: you've found a really quality player there in DJ. Let's
- 28:34Speaker 3: look at west Rans defense for a minute. Westernia played
- 28:39Speaker 3: clean the close that lane off pretty well, as we
- 28:41Speaker 3: just mentioned, especially in the first half. That was also
- 28:44Speaker 3: a season low and two point attempts for Houston, so
- 28:47Speaker 3: you did get you've did force their hand and having
- 28:50Speaker 3: to shoot a bunch of threes. But as we mentioned,
- 28:52Speaker 3: yu Zan in particular, made a bunch that was a
- 28:53Speaker 3: season tied to season high in threes made for Houston.
- 28:57Speaker 3: Emmanuel Sharp, one of the best shooters in the country,
- 29:00Speaker 3: had seven catch and shoot jumpers, only two were unguarded.
- 29:04Speaker 3: You held him to three of nine from three. So
- 29:07Speaker 3: again some markers hoppy that if you had gone into
- 29:09Speaker 3: the game and told me you were only going to
- 29:11Speaker 3: allow two open looks for Sharp and he was going
- 29:13Speaker 3: to be three for nine, I'd say, all right, you
- 29:15Speaker 3: might be around this game. Mention new Zan, he was
- 29:19Speaker 3: really good of his five catch and shoots, so only
- 29:21Speaker 3: two were on guarded, but he was really good with
- 29:23Speaker 3: those five of nine from three. We'll just kind of
- 29:27Speaker 3: wrap it up there.
- 29:29Speaker 1: Yeah, I've obviously we've seen them now three times, that
- 29:32Speaker 1: was four since we joined the league. To me, the
- 29:35Speaker 1: most impressive thing is they just stay the same. There
- 29:42Speaker 1: is no great deviation of how they play, and that
- 29:46Speaker 1: to me is the ultimate compliment to Calvin Samson because
- 29:52Speaker 1: when I watched them, watch his demeanor, watch how he's
- 29:55Speaker 1: coaching got you know why they do play the same way.
- 29:58Speaker 1: They have no other option they have, like anything other
- 30:03Speaker 1: than the way he wants them to play is just
- 30:07Speaker 1: unacceptable and you are absolutely going to get it.
- 30:11Speaker 2: And they buy in.
- 30:12Speaker 1: So to me where they say, well, you can't coach
- 30:15Speaker 1: kids like you used to coach kids. Guess what he's
- 30:18Speaker 1: doing it and they're they're they're they're really something to watch.
- 30:22Speaker 3: I'll be interested to see where they go next year
- 30:24Speaker 3: because you're gonna lose both freshmen and Flemings and Sanak
- 30:27Speaker 3: and then those other three guys that have been around
- 30:29Speaker 3: a long time, usually only two years at Houston, but
- 30:31Speaker 3: has played seven hundred games through his college career. He's
- 30:34Speaker 3: out and right, Tugler and Sharp both gone.
- 30:36Speaker 2: Now.
- 30:37Speaker 3: I mean, that's going to be a really different look
- 30:39Speaker 3: Houston team. And given that their bench doesn't necessarily they
- 30:42Speaker 3: give you some guys that come in that they're driven
- 30:44Speaker 3: by those five starters. Interested to see where they go.
- 30:46Speaker 3: But they've certainly got it rolling right now. It's a
- 30:49Speaker 3: it's a tough style to play against their relentless, their
- 30:51Speaker 3: physical if they get the right kind of whistle, and
- 30:53Speaker 3: you're not allowed to bully them back, which West Virginia
- 30:56Speaker 3: for some reason was not the other night. You have
- 30:58Speaker 3: virtually no chance against them. They're allowed to play that
- 31:00Speaker 3: style and you're not. They're good, They're really good.
- 31:03Speaker 2: That double team is just exhausting, you know. And I
- 31:08Speaker 2: was watching a game with a with my wife and
- 31:11Speaker 2: listening to you guys, and when the ball went down
- 31:13Speaker 2: low to West Virginia, and she said, why didn't he
- 31:15Speaker 2: pass it out? I think you're you're in the middle
- 31:17Speaker 2: of a tornado. I mean, it is really really. I mean,
- 31:21Speaker 2: they are just all over you.
- 31:22Speaker 1: They're long, they're strong, and they work on that every
- 31:25Speaker 1: single day. And it is a big double team.
- 31:28Speaker 3: You know, it's a couple of things when you play them.
- 31:30Speaker 3: And I did think it affected West Virginia early. It's
- 31:33Speaker 3: one of those you can talk about it. You can
- 31:35Speaker 3: see it on film as West Virginia did ad nauseum hoppy,
- 31:39Speaker 3: the number of times that the group went over the
- 31:42Speaker 3: double teams coming and it is coming from up top,
- 31:44Speaker 3: and it is coming when you catch it in the
- 31:46Speaker 3: post and you don't have to guess, you don't have
- 31:48Speaker 3: to look around and go, I wonder if they're coming
- 31:50Speaker 3: right now? They just they are coming, and you know it.
- 31:52Speaker 3: The difference between talking about it and then seeing the
- 31:56Speaker 3: speed and the physicality at which they play with is
- 31:59Speaker 3: a big gap. And I thought our guy's early reputation
- 32:02Speaker 3: of Houston hurt West Virginia. What I mean by that
- 32:05Speaker 3: is you had open looks, You had a couple of
- 32:07Speaker 3: the basket that were wide open. But it felt like
- 32:10Speaker 3: our guys were rushing a little bit, like I know
- 32:12Speaker 3: they're coming, I know they're somewhere here. I got to
- 32:15Speaker 3: get this up before Snak comes and blocks this, or
- 32:17Speaker 3: I got to get this out of my hands before
- 32:20Speaker 3: they close off on the perimeter. And I thought that
- 32:22Speaker 3: affected West Virginia early number one and then number two.
- 32:25Speaker 3: To Karen's point, they were trying, we were trying.
- 32:28Speaker 2: To pass it out.
- 32:28Speaker 3: They were trying trying to pass it and when they
- 32:30Speaker 3: when they smother you, it's tough. And the line Ross
- 32:34Speaker 3: and the coaches kept using. And again easy to say
- 32:36Speaker 3: hard to execute is just have some composure. You don't
- 32:39Speaker 3: have to panic the thing early. Because the advantage against
- 32:42Speaker 3: those teams in same against Iowa State, and West Virginia
- 32:45Speaker 3: did a better job of handling it against Iowa State,
- 32:47Speaker 3: just couldn't finish the shots. If you step through those
- 32:50Speaker 3: and you can get out of that double team. Now
- 32:52Speaker 3: you have the advantage. But again, easy to sit here
- 32:55Speaker 3: at the desk and say that hard to do that
- 32:56Speaker 3: when to a six' nine guy and a six to
- 32:58Speaker 3: eleven guy are closing.
- 32:59Speaker 2: On you said it on the broadcast or maybe or another,
- 33:03Speaker 2: point you said it takes you fifteen minutes to get
- 33:06Speaker 2: used to how they how they play.
- 33:09Speaker 1: It does and that's Old Press virginia people would be
- 33:12Speaker 1: overwhelmed early in games Against West virginia because you just
- 33:15Speaker 1: can't simulate, that and that's what these guys. Do and so,
- 33:18Speaker 1: yeah it takes you time to settle. Down what you're
- 33:20Speaker 1: hoping for is That houston isn't good on the offensive
- 33:24Speaker 1: end while you're getting. Adjusted but in this particular, case they.
- 33:26Speaker 1: Were they started, strong built a big, hole and then
- 33:29Speaker 1: you're digging out the entire. Night and obviously you need
- 33:32Speaker 1: a guy Like Harlan obioha out there to battle on the.
- 33:36Speaker 1: Glass he only played thirteen minutes because of those two quick.
- 33:39Speaker 1: Files so, yeah that was a that was a recipe
- 33:42Speaker 1: for not getting it. Done and to your, point a couple.
- 33:45Speaker 1: Things so they've Got Kingston, flemings who right now is
- 33:48Speaker 1: the five pick in the upcoming. Draft Chris sanak is
- 33:52Speaker 1: another freshman blacking who's eleven in.
- 33:55Speaker 2: The in THE nba draft right.
- 33:56Speaker 1: Now BUT i looked At sanak Like. Flemings if you
- 34:00Speaker 1: didn't know about, him you wouldn't think that guy is
- 34:03Speaker 1: gonna BE.
- 34:04Speaker 3: I know what you're gonna, Say AND i wholeheartedly.
- 34:06Speaker 1: Agree sanak looks like a PRO nba. Player they just
- 34:11Speaker 1: there's a certain there's a certain, walk a certain way they.
- 34:15Speaker 1: Move when you see that, size and that's, like that's
- 34:18Speaker 1: AN nba. Dude that's AN nba.
- 34:20Speaker 3: Dude he's one of those seven footers that is not.
- 34:23Speaker 3: Gangly he's not. Flailing it's like that dude moves like
- 34:27Speaker 3: he's six three and he's six, Eleven, like look at
- 34:30Speaker 3: that freaking. Guy, yeah and he and he again though
- 34:33Speaker 3: it's not like AND i mean this is in the.
- 34:35Speaker 3: JOKE i, mean with all due, respect you see him
- 34:38Speaker 3: and you, say, Like, okay that's a. Pro but then
- 34:40Speaker 3: he's not overwhelming you on the. Floor and that's their.
- 34:43Speaker 3: Magic he's like the fifth guy you worry about for,
- 34:46Speaker 3: them and he's going to be a top TEN nba,
- 34:48Speaker 3: Pick and that's that's part of the challenge you're going,
- 34:51Speaker 3: against is he's just they've got they got, dudes they got,
- 34:53Speaker 3: dudes they're.
- 34:54Speaker 1: Good he had ten, rebounds he had ten rebounds in
- 34:56Speaker 1: twenty eight, minutes only took five, shots hit a, three
- 34:59Speaker 1: scores seven.
- 35:00Speaker 2: Points just put it in the. Back done, Anyway all?
- 35:03Speaker 3: Right move?
- 35:04Speaker 1: On, Okay so six, o'clock, rare start the rare six.
- 35:07Speaker 1: O'clock now here's the. Thing if basketball was the way
- 35:11Speaker 1: that it used to, be you could build this game
- 35:13Speaker 1: up as a massive revenge game Because colorado Eliminated West
- 35:19Speaker 1: virginia from The big twelve tournament last, year and who
- 35:21Speaker 1: knows if they had Beaten colorado or the in THE ncaa,
- 35:24Speaker 1: tournament you just will never. Know you can't even use.
- 35:27Speaker 1: That there's no one here that remembers there's no one
- 35:31Speaker 1: here that remembers on the team That colorado Eliminated West.
- 35:35Speaker 1: Virginia so on we.
- 35:36Speaker 3: Go very good offensive team coming. In they have struggled
- 35:40Speaker 3: on the defensive. End they have started their season with
- 35:45Speaker 3: a win on the road At Arizona, state they won
- 35:48Speaker 3: At utah at. Home they started their conference season two
- 35:50Speaker 3: and o, hopy and they Played Texas tech to a
- 35:52Speaker 3: two point. Game you alluded to it that got Down bay,
- 35:54Speaker 3: game storming, back lost by only two at, home and
- 35:57Speaker 3: then last night played a really physical game Again. Cincinnata
- 36:01Speaker 3: same thing fell, down big came storming. Back but The,
- 36:04Speaker 3: bearcats AND i know that arena was tight At cincinnati
- 36:08Speaker 3: because they've had a propensity to give out leads, late
- 36:11Speaker 3: they were able to hang on and get the. Win
- 36:14Speaker 3: they shoot it well from, three but they don't take
- 36:16Speaker 3: a ton just thirty percent of their shots come from
- 36:19Speaker 3: three point. Land they like to get to the. Rim
- 36:21Speaker 3: forty three percent of their shots come at the. Rim
- 36:25Speaker 3: here's one of the. Challenges i'm gonna say it, Again,
- 36:26Speaker 3: hoppy the whistle's gonna matter On. Saturday this is a
- 36:29Speaker 3: very good free throw shooting, team one of the best
- 36:31Speaker 3: in the. Country they make nearly eighty percent of their free.
- 36:35Speaker 3: Throws they haven't turned it over a. Lot they're top
- 36:37Speaker 3: thirty nationally in turnover. Percentage now on the other, side
- 36:41Speaker 3: they don't generate a ton of, them but convert at
- 36:45Speaker 3: a high rate when they. Do eighty third percentile in
- 36:47Speaker 3: points per possession off live ball. Turnovers Again West. Virginia
- 36:51Speaker 3: it's important when you're gonna limit possessions to keep those turnovers.
- 36:55Speaker 3: Down don't Give colorado an easy. Baskets colorado's opponent keep
- 37:01Speaker 3: talking about this. Regression let's Hope colorado doesn't see regression On.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Saturday their, opponents they're right up there With West virginia
- 37:10Speaker 3: where opponents are blistering hot on unguarded catch and. Shoots
- 37:14Speaker 3: forty six percent from three are The buffalo's opponents when
- 37:17Speaker 3: they're left. Open so Can West virginia get a little
- 37:20Speaker 3: love back and when they get open, looks knock some
- 37:23Speaker 3: of those down because chances are you're going to get
- 37:26Speaker 3: some in this. Game let's talk about some individual. Players
- 37:29Speaker 3: they have four different guys averaging in double figures and
- 37:31Speaker 3: hoppy stop me if you've heard this. Before they've got
- 37:33Speaker 3: a really talented freshman that can score the. Ball as
- 37:37Speaker 3: some like to, Say i'd Be Isaiah johnson sixteen points a.
- 37:40Speaker 3: Game he scored in double figures in all but two
- 37:42Speaker 3: games this. Season forty four percent from. Three although he
- 37:45Speaker 3: does like to get downhill and get to the, basket
- 37:47Speaker 3: thirty seven percent of his shots are at the, rim
- 37:50Speaker 3: so that closing off of the, lane staying in front
- 37:53Speaker 3: of your. Defender With Jasper floyd's one of the best
- 37:55Speaker 3: in The big twelve at that's going to be. Important
- 37:57Speaker 3: can you force him to turn into a three point
- 37:59Speaker 3: sh which he doesn't want. To he wants to get
- 38:01Speaker 3: to the. Basket he's in the ninety ninth percentile in
- 38:04Speaker 3: free throw attempts per forty. Minutes he's in the ninety
- 38:08Speaker 3: eighth percentile in free throw attempt. Rate he went thirteen
- 38:12Speaker 3: to thirteen at the line Against Texas. Tech and here's
- 38:14Speaker 3: an important. Number their free throw attempt rate as a
- 38:17Speaker 3: team gets cut in half when he is not in the.
- 38:20Speaker 3: Game so he loves to get to the free throw.
- 38:22Speaker 3: Line so if you want an early key Guard johnson
- 38:25Speaker 3: without fouling, them keep them off the. Line, again a
- 38:28Speaker 3: really good free throw, shooter don't give them those easy.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Points so you're saying that they're a good free throw
- 38:32Speaker 2: shooting team and they don't shoot that many, threes so
- 38:35Speaker 2: they're gonna they're gonna take it to the.
- 38:36Speaker 3: Basket that's what they want to. Do but, again If
- 38:39Speaker 3: West virginia's doing what it should be, doing that's a
- 38:42Speaker 3: good matchup For West virginia because you're designed to close
- 38:46Speaker 3: that lane. Off so can you pick that performance up
- 38:48Speaker 3: Against houston for the most, part and slide it forward To.
- 38:51Speaker 3: SATURDAY i like, that and, again you're going to live with.
- 38:54Speaker 3: Something so you're gonna live With colorado shooting a bunch of.
- 38:58Speaker 3: Threes if they're making, them all, right you have to,
- 39:00Speaker 3: adjust but don't let them get to the. Line don't
- 39:03Speaker 3: be flailing at him and fouling and putting them on
- 39:05Speaker 3: the free throw. Line that's when they're at their, best
- 39:07Speaker 3: and that's when their best offensive player is at his.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Best last night in Their cincinnati, game they took made
- 39:15Speaker 1: eleven free throws fifteen attempts when eleven to fifteenth foul,
- 39:18Speaker 1: out which obviously is a really good. Percentage But cincinnati
- 39:21Speaker 1: took thirty five foul, shots so they took twenty more
- 39:25Speaker 1: and they made more than twice the number That colorado.
- 39:29Speaker 1: Did they made twenty four To colorado's, eleven and the
- 39:33Speaker 1: game ends up as a nine point. Game so to
- 39:36Speaker 1: his point, there you And brad Mentioned West virginia's defense is,
- 39:42Speaker 1: predicated like a lot of defenses, are of not allowing
- 39:44Speaker 1: people to get into the. Lane so that's the big
- 39:46Speaker 1: thing to. Build you got to build a perimeter and
- 39:48Speaker 1: make them try to beat you from the.
- 39:49Speaker 3: Outside they're very good out of the pick and, roll
- 39:52Speaker 3: top one percent nationally in points per possession off that
- 39:55Speaker 3: pick and, roll and so this will be a fun.
- 39:57Speaker 3: Matchup so they're the number one offensive team in The
- 39:59Speaker 3: big two twelve with the pick and roll ball. Handler
- 40:01Speaker 3: they're getting A West virginia. Defense it's number two in
- 40:04Speaker 3: The big twelve in pick and roll. Defense so good,
- 40:06Speaker 3: on good right, there hop that's part to close that.
- 40:09Speaker 3: Lane don't let them get by. You West virginia is
- 40:13Speaker 3: averaging nine point eight may threes in games following a.
- 40:18Speaker 3: Loss so After west say that, again After West virginia's
- 40:21Speaker 3: loss has lost a, game it is averaging nine point
- 40:24Speaker 3: eight made threes almost ten a, game and you are
- 40:27Speaker 3: five to one on the season when making ten plus,
- 40:30Speaker 3: threes and your only loss Was Ohio. State that, is
- 40:33Speaker 3: we really should have been a. Win so we're starting to,
- 40:35Speaker 3: get as we usually do this time of, year some
- 40:37Speaker 3: numbers that show some. Trends West virginia needs to be
- 40:40Speaker 3: making shots from the. Outside you get to that double digit,
- 40:43Speaker 3: mark and it's been good For West virginia In Big
- 40:46Speaker 3: twelve play Only West virginia second in the league in
- 40:49Speaker 3: three point shooting, percentage and every team you've played has
- 40:53Speaker 3: been in the top eleven nationally in defensive, efficiency so
- 40:57Speaker 3: that bodes well as you start to look down the.
- 40:59Speaker 3: Line Can West virginia keep shooting it well from? Distance
- 41:02Speaker 3: as you start to get some defensive teams that aren't
- 41:05Speaker 3: in the top e lefn in the. Country colorado's the
- 41:08Speaker 3: first of. That in this stretch where you get a
- 41:10Speaker 3: team that isn't as dominant, defensively can you get some?
- 41:13Speaker 3: Shots and again that NUMBER i gave, you teams are
- 41:16Speaker 3: making shots Against, colorado and you're getting A West virginia
- 41:19Speaker 3: team that's been shooting it pretty well against elite. Teams
- 41:22Speaker 3: colorado's defense is three hundred and fourteenth nationally in three
- 41:26Speaker 3: point field goal. Defense as you return home A West
- 41:30Speaker 3: virginia team that is shooting it well against a team
- 41:32Speaker 3: that has not defended the three well on a second
- 41:35Speaker 3: game of a back to, back it's one of those
- 41:37Speaker 3: situational spots up and it didn't play out last. Year
- 41:40Speaker 3: there were a lot of. Teams multiple teams came in
- 41:41Speaker 3: here after a back to back In cincinnati and here
- 41:44Speaker 3: and Beat West. Virginia this is one where the situation
- 41:47Speaker 3: is your. Advantage you've got to take advantage of this
- 41:49Speaker 3: and it may come from the three point. Line if
- 41:51Speaker 3: these numbers, hold go, ahead, up you're gonna say.
- 41:55Speaker 2: Something, No i'm just going to say an opportunity for,
- 41:57Speaker 2: honor opportunity for Dj.
- 41:59Speaker 3: West virginia right now in The big twelve to third
- 42:01Speaker 3: in points per possession on jump, shots behind Only Iowa
- 42:05Speaker 3: state And Texas. Texas, again furthering the mention that through
- 42:10Speaker 3: the first four games of the conference, Season West virginia
- 42:12Speaker 3: shooting it well again against teams that are elite not
- 42:15Speaker 3: just in this league but nationally, defensively, again that should
- 42:19Speaker 3: bode well as you move through this season and that
- 42:21Speaker 3: schedule lightens in certain spots with defensive.
- 42:23Speaker 1: Teams, Yeah i'm Watching colorado FROM afar so far this.
- 42:27Speaker 1: Season All i'm going to tell you is, this they
- 42:31Speaker 1: are a snake when it comes To they don't quit
- 42:35Speaker 1: like you have to absolutely chop the head off otherwise
- 42:38Speaker 1: they're going to come. Back we mentioned The Texas tech
- 42:40Speaker 1: game last. Weekend they're down two hundred and nine points
- 42:44Speaker 1: and they make that thing a game last. NIGHT i
- 42:46Speaker 1: was watching. It you, Know cincinnata didn't score for the
- 42:49Speaker 1: last four plus minutes in that game last. Night they
- 42:52Speaker 1: almost let one like get really. Close and As brad,
- 42:56Speaker 1: said there was a tremendous amount of tension in that
- 42:58Speaker 1: building last night, because, uh there was an organized effort
- 43:02Speaker 1: to have people wear bags over their.
- 43:04Speaker 3: Heads oh, no that was squashed before the.
- 43:06Speaker 1: Game it was THE ad told security anyone with a
- 43:10Speaker 1: bag on their, head take the bag off the, head
- 43:12Speaker 1: can't come in with a can't come, sorry can't bring
- 43:15Speaker 1: your bag.
- 43:15Speaker 2: In so they stopped it from.
- 43:17Speaker 1: Happening but that's the that is the.
- 43:20Speaker 2: The vibe that's going on right now That cincinnati.
- 43:23Speaker 3: Program it sounded as if BECAUSE i don't think anybody
- 43:26Speaker 3: would have listened to that, directive all due respect To
- 43:28Speaker 3: John cunning and THE, id it sounded like some former
- 43:31Speaker 3: players stood up and, said hold on, here, guys everybody's
- 43:34Speaker 3: aware of your. Feelings don't embarrass the program by having
- 43:37Speaker 3: that look. There so they were able to stop. That
- 43:39Speaker 3: but boy and AND i, like what DO i? Care
- 43:43Speaker 3: AND i was tight for. THEM i don't care if
- 43:46Speaker 3: there's a thousand Games, cincinnatia don't, care don't care if
- 43:49Speaker 3: you never win a game. Again And i'm watching it
- 43:51Speaker 3: going on a little. Tighter here Come, Colorado Here Come.
- 43:57Speaker 1: Colorado, YEAH i mean that's so my POINT i. Care
- 44:00Speaker 1: so my point to that is On, saturday if you
- 44:05Speaker 1: get a double digit lead or, whatever like it's not
- 44:07Speaker 1: it's they're, coming, Right they're. Coming and Also brad's, point
- 44:10Speaker 1: this is a really good. POINT i don't know what
- 44:12Speaker 1: statistically it is in the, league but these teams that
- 44:14Speaker 1: are on these two game back to, backs Like TCUs
- 44:17Speaker 1: on one right, now they're PLAYING byu last, night they
- 44:20Speaker 1: Play utah this. Weekend, like don't think just because you
- 44:24Speaker 1: lose the front end of a game that you're gonna
- 44:27Speaker 1: come in here and just be like a. Pushover, ACTUALLY
- 44:29Speaker 1: i think it works the opposite. Way now they've got
- 44:32Speaker 1: two days to sit and get fired up to come out,
- 44:35Speaker 1: here so they're going to play.
- 44:36Speaker 3: They and they can say we're this will. Beginning here's
- 44:40Speaker 3: what's interesting about. Them they're the exact opposite makeup of
- 44:43Speaker 3: nearly everybody in college basketball right. Now ten freshmen or,
- 44:47Speaker 3: sophomores one, senior one junior on this. Roster this is
- 44:50Speaker 3: a baby group of. Guys this is a, young young,
- 44:53Speaker 3: team and you go down this, list it's it's unbelievable
- 44:56Speaker 3: to see That Elijah malone's the only senior we remember
- 44:59Speaker 3: having big. Six Andre Dude, inside FORMER d Two player
- 45:02Speaker 3: of The, year didn't play much and thank goodness last
- 45:05Speaker 3: year In, boulder if you, remember he had back issues

- 45:10Speaker 3: big thick dude inside you've got, him and then you
- 45:13Speaker 3: have one other Junior, hargress and outside of, that it's all,
- 45:16Speaker 3: babies freshmen and.
- 45:17Speaker 1: Sophomores so this is only the second time we've played these,

- 45:24Speaker 3: Year the third time we played him because we got

- 53:38Speaker 1: The mountaineer win at. All kansas is still a very good,
- 53:40Speaker 1: team but they've looked markedly different the last two seasons

- 54:38Speaker 3: you think they're no good, yep line up beat a
- 54:40Speaker 3: top Five Iowa state team by a billion mind, up just,
- 54:43Speaker 3: SAID i stay AS i write your un defeated once
- 54:45Speaker 3: you come on in largest margin of defeat for a
- 54:47Speaker 3: top ten team By kansas in the. Fog, ever If
- 54:51Speaker 3: i've got the number, right, Man i'm, SORRY i can't
- 54:53Speaker 3: remember where it's at which ONE i got that, from
- 54:54Speaker 3: but they absolutely just Drilled Iowa. State another note From
- 54:58Speaker 3: pete And. Pennsboro much like all due, respect it's really
- 55:02Speaker 3: get like he gave it nothing against the guy after
- 55:05Speaker 3: he just crushed. Him gave you a little disclaimer of
- 55:09Speaker 3: aggressive nothing against the. Guy but you know what's coming
- 55:11Speaker 3: the next. Time, yeah let's talk a little bit against the.
- 55:14Speaker 3: Guy let's talk a little bit about. That So kansas
- 55:16Speaker 3: comes in here and gets be double figures and then
- 55:20Speaker 3: goes home when you think like they're absolutely a, damaged you,
- 55:24Speaker 3: know just hurt animal that's just trying to limp across
- 55:28Speaker 3: and absolutely crush it two and what like what was
- 55:32Speaker 3: the inner workings of, that like what happened internally? There
- 55:36Speaker 3: and what was up With Iowa state to go in
- 55:39Speaker 3: there and just get boat race like? That, well the
- 55:41Speaker 3: easy cliche, answer because the league's really, good, Right Iowa
- 55:45Speaker 3: state was due to give one. Back you're not running they,
- 55:48Speaker 3: Have they have run deep into this season without taking a.
- 55:50Speaker 3: Loss you're just you can't do that in this. League
- 55:53Speaker 3: kansas still has good, players and they decided to play,
- 55:57Speaker 3: right and so much of the magic of this and
- 55:59Speaker 3: it is, really would you get guys to play? Hard
- 56:04Speaker 3: good things usually happen, Right AND i know that sounds ridiculously,
- 56:07Speaker 3: basic but that's the, Challenge, Hopey you've. Got if you
- 56:10Speaker 3: bring one hundred percent intensity every, now you're gonna win
- 56:12Speaker 3: more games than you. Don't And kansas finally just, said all,
