  Speaker 1: and finally, all right, we've been doing this thing for
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: what eight years now, I guess seventeen we started. Eight years.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: We've never come on and said, let's talk about the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: West Virginia basket at Kansas. We never once said that, never,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: never once said.
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: It historic victory.
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: You're saying, I'm saying this is an historic victory.
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: It is historic.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: A lot of conversation as to where this game fits
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in most improbable games of all time. We did a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: segment last night on the City Net Statewide Sports Line,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: and we called it against all odds victories in West
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Virginia's sport history, and we were digging around. Now, someone
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: did bring one up to me that we did not
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: bring up last night. Eighty two Oklahomer football.
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah all right, yes, yeah, that's up there. Yeah all right,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: Jeff Hosteler.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, similar going into an environment that was like this, right,
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma football comparable, you'd have to.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: Put that up there. I think, two different things. Though
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: they had won the bowl game to end the previous
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: season in eighty one Hobby and then went into the
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: Oak Lack Homer game and they switched quarterbacks from Luck
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: to Hosteler. That was Hosteler's first start. But yeah, I
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: mean that would be in the conversation. I still don't
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: think it gets it because that's a neutral field game
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: and you won this one on a home floor.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: Oh that was at Oklahoma.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Oh I'm so what am I talking? I'm thinking I'm
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: going back to the bowl game. Back that was good,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Back to the bowl game. You're right, it was at Oklahoma.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: It's in the conversation.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: It's in the conversation the other part of this, And
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: we're gonna dive in these numbers. Strap on for spreads
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: on stats. I've got about an hour and a half
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: numbers here. We got to go through the fact of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: that amount of time, the fact that you were missing
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: two of your three leading scores. That that's what you
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: come back to on this of all the other things
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: that were difficult, the fact you're down Tucker and down Amani,
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: never mind down Jayden Stone because you haven't you haven't
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: had him this year. But that's a whole other piece
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: that you were expecting. But down Hansbury and Tucker, two
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: of your three leading scores, and to walk into this
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: game and never trail, and the entire game never trailed.
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: It's the most it's the most unexpected, unpredictable outcome in
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: recent memory. I mean, can you especially when you said, Brad,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: like two of your top guys out on the road,
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: never win there, don't get a whistle Kansas being Kansas,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: four and a half hours of sleep. Yeah, and they'll
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: travel problem, travel problems, and to win the game. I
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: mean talk about high level of improbability.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Here's some other numbers.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Is it spreads on stads?
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: No, it's not. This courtesy of Brian Meshle, a sports
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: information director WU first time West Virginia unranked beating a
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: top ten in a top ten opponent in a true
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: road game since ninety four, beat Temple, first time on
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: rank beating a top ten true roadname.
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: That's what.
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: That's thirty years, thirty thirty years. First time since five
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: to six, beating two top ten teams away from home,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: because you got Gonzaga away from the coliseum. He get
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: Kansas on the road, first time since five oh six.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: In essence, almost twenty years, twenty years pretty remarkable.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: And you made you made national news even with all
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: the Bowl traffic.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, you were the story. You were a story.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Kansas hadn't lost a conference home opener in what
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: thirty three years?
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Thirty three?
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: Shit pretty good and they went by the way you
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: did that, not only without two of your top three
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: scores and entirely new roster of guys that played in
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: that game. Entirely new roster.
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: That's why I think this one goes to the head
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: of the class. Like, forget about the guys that you
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: didn't have playing because of injury. Just go to that one.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: There are no returning players from last season's team. Just
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: start with that one, and you won. I think that's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: why this one probably becomes the most improbable victory. I'm
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: gonna say it, ever, I'm.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Going to go I'm looking forward to spreadsone stats because
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: you guys were there, you guys watched it. You talked
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: to the coach to get an explanation why. I know
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: a couple of the things why, But I would like
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: to know the x'es and o's y and I know
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: that the senator's in on.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: Well, there were some significant x's and o's happy because
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: i'veset We've been talking about this for a long time.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: You didn't need this game to further back up what
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: I'm about to say. Let's tell you this, Western fans
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: should be pretty excited. You got yourself a basketball coach
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and staff, right, Darren was elite in the stuff they
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: did in this game. We'll get into some more of it.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Staff is tremendous putting this game plan together. But then,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: as I always say, that's just part of the equation.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: You've got to credit these guys too for being able
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: to take the new stuff that was installed in this
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: game plan and go execute it to near perfection. That's
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: not easy either, and not be freaked out in that environment,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: never cave in that environment. You're throwing some young dudes
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: out there, kJ Tenner and Jonathan Powell first year in
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: college basketball at this level. We'll get into some of
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: their numbers. Eduardo Andre, you're asking him a guy that
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you expected to you know, can you give us twelve
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: to fifteen minutes this year in a role to come
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: in and give us some size? You asked him to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: play thirty five minutes. Legend scoring in the first half,
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: and was the difference in the first half made. They're
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: all American ineffective at the big I mean, just again,
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: we could go for four hours. I know we're gonna
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: have to niche it down to the highlights. Every player
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: that played in the game the other day was impactful
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: in some way. That's hard to do as well. What
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: everybody that took the floor did something really positive for
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: that team?
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: What did Dickens say, like two in the first half,
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: something like that.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: Something like that, and just maybe even more so than that,
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: just struggled defensively, right, Just that that's part of the
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: Darren's counter to what Kansas had seen on tape was
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: some new things. It was putting Javon in some different spots.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: It was handling those ball screens differently that you knew
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: were coming from Kansas. It was forcing them what they
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: normally do in their rotations to have to do something different.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: And you could see the confusion and they were unsure
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: of what to do there in the first half. Now
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: you're going against a Hall of Fame coach in their environment.
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: They adjusted, right, the second half changed in West Virginia
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: had to adjust to Kansas's adjustments, which were really good.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: That ultimately West Virginia made them pay for one of
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: their adjustments. We'll get to that coming up too. You
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: kind of made them pay toward the end there what
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: their adjustment to your adjustments were really good and got
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: them back in the game in the second half, and
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Tony and I Hope talked about it during the broadcast.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: You had to make them pay for the adjustment, and
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: they finally did. West Virginia did it, finally did on
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: that very last possession. Jovon made him pay.
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: I had the head ball coach on my public affairs
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: program earlier today and I was baiting him on the
• 8:29
  Speaker 3: free throws.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: He didn't bite on that.
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: Did not bite, he said, whistle was fine.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: How'd that interview go?
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: It was fine, just fine. Yeah, I appreciate the fact
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: that the head ball coach getting ready for Oklahoma State.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma State, it took time to come on, especially after
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: you kept him for a long time on the TV interview.
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: And you answered all your questions, all of your questions
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: to your liking.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Well, it doesn't matter what I like. I asked the
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: questions he answered. I would say, this coach Devreese, I
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: don't know him right, you know, I don't, But he's
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: cautious What do you mean by that? I mean he's cautious.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I mean he is not going to He's not going
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: to give anybody anywhere an edge. I mean he's got it.
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Just that. I mean he's not going to give anybody
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: anything that they can use. That's fine. I mean that's short.
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: Why did you chortle short?
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: While I was listening, I was driving in I was
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: listening to your interview with him, because you tried to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: You tried to go big jay journalist with him. You
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: tried to Mike Wallace. You just you you just you said,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: this is basically what you were saying. Okay, you said,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: Brad and Tony are silly sports guys. Said they're silly
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: sports guys. They don't ask the tough, hard probing question.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: I've hosted gubernatorial debates, I've hosted senatorial debates. Wait till
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: I get derees, wait till I get therees. Now I'm
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: gonna line up. I won't say it, Darren, I'm gonna

• 10:29
  Speaker 3: All I did.
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: I could hear the hurt in your voice.
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: All I did was ask questions that everybody has. Sure,

  Speaker 3: That's all I did. You guys in defensive you all
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: you you are the brother, you are employed by the school.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: All I did was ask questions. Everybody is wondering about,

  Speaker 3: how about you know, uh, Hansbury, how bad to Hansbury?
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: When can he play? How about Tuckees? When can you play?

• 15:06
  Speaker 1: starting this, Kansas?
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: Well?
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I might. I may jump all over the place here.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: I think we just dive in. Let's talk about team,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: some of the team numbers that came out of this,
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: and we got to talk about some individuals too, because
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: I think there were some remarkable individual performances, which you're
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: gonna need. How if you get a historic victory, that
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: means there were some individuals that were really good. Let's
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: start with this. The thing of all the things that
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: jumped out of me, one of the ones near the
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: top of the list in this game where the fact
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: that we said this after Gonzaga, This wasn't some cinderella
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Villanova beating Georgetown in nineteen eighty five nca A championship
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: type of game where you shot a ridiculous shooting percentage,
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: or you made seventeen threes where you walked out and went,
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: we're going out of there. We shot well that what
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: you just lined up and played, and you played a
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: totally different style, that's part of it. You played a
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: totally different way than what you've played all year. West
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Virginia has taken a lot of three point attempts, top
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: twenty five in the country in terms of three point
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: attempt rate, near fifty percent of its shots in this game,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: just thirty percent of your shots from three point land
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: thirty three percent to be exacted is pretty wild, totally
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: different style. You were a different team, and that's part
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: of what led to the confusion for Kansas. If if
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: you had done the scout based on how I'm gonna
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: do Oklahoma State and they come in and do something
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: totally different, that's why you're caught going what are they
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: doing here?
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Which is why when I looked at the stats, Ben,
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I thought, that's why I'm anxious to hear what you
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: have to say, because I thought, how'd they win this game?
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: Didn't get to the free throw line, didn't make a ton.
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: Of shots, right, Okay, so that's one. So you didn't
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: take the three you didn't even attempt the threes that
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: you normally take, let alone make them. That's number one,
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: because you only shot thirty percent from three. The other
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: thing West Virginia has done extremely well. Darren likes to
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: push it and likes to push it off of turnovers.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: Points off of turnovers have been one of West Virginia's
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: secret weapons this year. In fact, you came into this game.
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: If the season were to end prior to Kansas, West
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: Virginia would have finished the season in the top one
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: percent nationally in points per possession off live ball turnovers.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: So West Virginia has feasted off the turnovers. You get them,
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: and you get the other way, and you get a
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: shot up pretty quickly. Been very good from three. In
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: those situations. West Virginia had just four points off turnovers
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: and didn't push changed its total philosophy to try and
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: limit the game. It was like watching an Army or
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: Navy football game. It was all, is that right, you're
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: gonna give us a ball. We're just gonna slow this down.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: Now you guard us for the entire time. We're gonna
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: take the whole time. And if you go back and
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: you look at it again, or you watch it. You
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: just see Javon's walking it up, Toby's walking into his position,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: Eduardo's walking to the post, and the shot clock's running.
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: It was a very deliberate effort to shorten the game
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: and limit the number of possessions. Worked out perfectly, right,
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Very well done on that part of it. But the
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: fact that you made thirty percent of your threes, only
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: took thirty three percent of your shots from three, only
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: had four points off turnovers, and still one at that
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: place pretty remarkable. Just a totally different way of doing it, Tony.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: As we often like to say, you know what you did.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: You just lined up beat him that was going, just
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: lined up beating. Yeah, so there's one. Let's talk free
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: throws for just a second. Officiating style always matters for
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: West Virginia, and we've talked about this. The fact that
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: there weren't a lot of fouls called early, I think
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: was a huge benefit to West Virginia because as thin
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: as you were bench wise, you could not have afforded
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: somebody go down early in foul trouble. Now it happened
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: late in that game second half. Darren had to start
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: juggling those lineups a little bit to protect some guys,
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: but in the first half the limited number of fowls
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: called was a benefit. But here's what kept jumping out
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: to me and another point of talk about lining up
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: and beating them. If Kansas didn't have his points at
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: the free throw line. Guys, this is a double digit win,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: and it might be a fifteen point win. Listen to
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: these numbers. Hop you're going to be stunned.
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: By these guys, Stunn, did we tell you Kansas on.
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: The year and we talked about this in our preview episode,
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: they do not get to the free throw line traditionally.
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: On the season, they have not done that. Just eleven
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: percent of Kansas's points had come off free throws on
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: the season. Entering this game, they were one of the
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: bottom five teams nationally in terms of number of points
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: from the free throw line hop eleven percent on the season.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: Against West Virginia, Kansas got thirty one percent of its
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: points from the free throw line, talking about a massive
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: jump three times the number almost Kansas is free throw
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: attempt rate coming into the game, so free throw attempts
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: divided by field goal attempts. West Virginia has used this
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: number successfully over the last decade or so in getting
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: to the line a bunch and getting those free points
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: at the line, Kansas just has simply not this year.
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: That's not what they do. Twenty percent free throw rate
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: heading into the game. Also in that bottom five six
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: or seven nationally twenty percent hop free throw attempt rate
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: against West Virginia free throw attempt rate forty three percent
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: attempt rate, almost double their season average. I'll give you
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: one individual. So Kayu finishes that game plus fifteen points
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: at the free throw line and still never led for
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: a single second in that game free points advantage.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Zeke Mayo who led the.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Parade to the free throw line? What was he tony
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: thirteen of thirteen?
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: He was thirteen of thirteen. But I mean but he normally, Brad,
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: I would assume he normally gets to the line. I mean,
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: that's this normal day for him getting to the file
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: line in the Brad.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Had fourteen free throw attempts coming into the game for
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: the season. For the season.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Oh you surely you jessed Zeke Mayo.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Fourteen free throw attempts coming into the season.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Now, as Darren said on your talk program, they did
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: put their head down. They drove to the rim. West
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Virginia was not doing that. But to your point, yeah.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: I think that was one of the counters. I mean, again,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: you were dealing with a Hall of Fame coach, so
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: he's gonna make adjustments, and we'll talk about the lineup
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: change they made a minute. That was one of the adjustments.
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: That's not a great three point shooting team in Kansas.
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: They liked to get to the rim, they liked to
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: get the ball in the paint, and they were ineffective
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: in doing so. So you could see the switch in
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: the second half. They just said, put your head down,
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: we're going to the basket. I would assume if your
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: bill's self, you're also a of the advantages you have
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: in your own building, So you're gonna say put it down,
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: go draw some contact, and let's get some whistles here.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Even though that's not what we have done all season.
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: We have not got to the free throw line at
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: anywhere close to the rate at which we did the
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: other day. Zeke Mayo in particular has not done that
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: and did in that game. So West Virginia, I'm not
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: necessarily saying there was a bad whistle. There was a
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: completely imbalanced terms of free throw attempts and West Virginia
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: was able to overcome that and take advantage. I will
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: say this about the officiating. I thought West Virginia benefited
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: from a correct call. Here's what I mean by that. Okay,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: that second to last possession for Kansas on the stolen
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: inbounds pass when kJ Adams gets it and immediately goes
• 21:43
  Speaker 2: to attack the rim, one of their most athletic players,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: and tobyo'cannie is right there he had inbounded. The ball
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: goes under the basket defensively. Adams comes in initiates the
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: contact as o'connie goes straight up. I mean it was
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: textbook straight up. You don't have to be playing and
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: you can be straight up principal verticality hop that's called
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: you can go straight up in the air. The contact
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: was made by Adams. I would like somebody to chart
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: that how many times that situation develops in Allen field
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: House with a game on the line with less than
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: a minute ago, that you don't get a foul call
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: that situation, And maybe you could do it not just
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: at fog out of field House, maybe at any home
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: arena across the country. That's almost always called we saw
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: a foul. Tucker dere's out. In that same situation in Atlantis,
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: no call, no call on it. Shot was miss Western
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: you got th rebounds. I thought that was a massive moment.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't have to credit officials for making the correct call,
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: but I give them credit for not being swayed there
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: in that environment.
• 22:38
  Speaker 3: That call.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a correct call. I thought Toby
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: was dead straight up on that did exactly what you're
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: supposed to do.
• 22:43
  Speaker 1: But to your point, out of a thousand times, probably
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: nine hundred and ninety eight, they call that a foul.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so go ahead.
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: I understand that the Kansas there are some Kansas fans
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: that are upset over the officiating, and okay, fine, but
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I mean when you take a look at its. Virginia
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: in the game was whistled for sixteen files. Kansas was
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: whistled for nine files. You took sixteen free throws. West
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Virginia took six. Okay, Yes, there was an over and
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: back violation that should have gone to Kansas and missed
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: the call right. West Virginia's had similar situations. Toby o'connie
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: had a put back layup that got waved off on
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: and over the back call, which was a really bad call.
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: But to my point, the two biggest calls in the
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: game were the one he just alluded to, and then
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: at the very end, Jonathan Poll went straight up again
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: over kJ Adams and they didn't call that last second
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: desperation ballout. So to me, I'm cool with the officiating.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Brilliant Rellian to me.
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: To me, the free throw numbers speak to it was
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: another piece that you had to overcome. If you're West Virginia,
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: you weren't getting you weren't getting the free points at
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: the free throw line. Kansas was, and that was abnormal
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: for Kansas. That's my point there. That's not the way
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: Kansas normally played, and they were getting those free buckets
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: that so if you take that out, talk about West
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Virginia's defensive effort, there's about as good as they can
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: get because their points were coming at the free throw
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: I thought it was just a remarkable effort. All right,
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: let's keep going. Darren preaches taking care of the ball, correct,
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: That's his number one thing. He will constantly go back
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: to preaching the ball. Six turnovers. It was for West
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Virginia that game, six turnovers in that building when one
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: of your primary ball handlers for a lot of the
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: game was a true freshman in kJ Tenor who had.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Zero turnovers and four assists.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so you want to talk about some individuals that
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: played well, kJ has to go to the top of
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: the list for alleviating some of that ball handling pressure
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: from Javon and taking that upon himself and not turning
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: it over in that environment. West Virginia with a three
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: to one team assists to turnover ratio in that game
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: three to one, Hoppy two to one is outstanding. West
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Virginia was three to one on the road in that building,
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: seventy percent assists rate, which was higher than West Virginia
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: season average. The passing of the basketball and the moving
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: it was really outstanding. Again, no questions on that.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: No, I mean, I'm just looking. I'm still looking at
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: these numbers, and i mean, if you had to do
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: a script of what would it take for you to win?
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: If you put these numbers down, like you fill out
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: a template before the game started, Okay, this is what
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: it would take. You would look at this statute and
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: you'd laugh and you'd go, oh, wait a second, they're
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: wait a second, There's no way they're going to go
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: in there and only turn the ball over six times.
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: There's no way the KJA ten or is going to
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: go out there and have four assists to zero turnovers.
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: There's no way in the world Eduardo andre is going
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: to go seven for nine from the floor, half a
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: dozen rebounds and swat away shots. Not gonna happen.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Now, hold on, don't get too far ahead of us here.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: We we got some other numbers there.
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: Hold on, all right, go ahead, hold on.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: How about holding Kansas to one offensive rebound in the
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: first half. So much discussion about the struggles West Virginia
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: might have rebounding the basketball, and against one of the
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: premier bigs in the country, you limit them to one
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: offensive rebound the first half. I thought that was a
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: critical part of this game too. As West Virginia hop
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: built that massive lead, you weren't turning it over, You
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: were scoring, and they were one and done on a
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: lot of their possessions. They were getting shots, and they
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: weren't able to get the rebound. So credit West Virginia
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: on the glass. Now that number changed a little bit
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: as you got in the second half and Kansas went
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: big against you. But first half, when that game was
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: decided from a West Virginia perspective, outstanding. Flip over to
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: the defense for just a second, because it's easier to
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: go to offense more often than not. And again, some
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: of the new twists that Darren put in offensively were
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: just a plus lights.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: You still have to answer his question, by the way, well.
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: How'd you do it?
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we'll get that.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: How about defensively? Part of how you did it, hop
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: wasn't just the offensive end, it was the defensive side
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: of the ball, and West Virginia just made it extremely difficult.
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: Kansas couldn't get it inside couple times only they were
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: able to get Dickinson deep down by the basket, where
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: he's virtually unstoppable. Other than that, they were playing around
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: the perimeter and not having success. Other than when they
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: put their head down and got to the line. Kansas
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: had zero points off unguarded catch and shoots. You talk
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: about great rotations and being in the right spot defensively,
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: zero points off on guarded That's the only time that
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: happened all season for Kansas to this point in their
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: own building. And you just did that to him. That's
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: really good. Going into the game, Kansas had been heavily
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: left handed they had gotten a lot of their buckets
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: and their better higher field goal percentages were on the
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: left side of the floor. Against West Virginia, just two
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: field goals on the left side in the first half
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: and none from the left side in the second half.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: Pretty well left to ask Darren if that was intentional
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: of that's just how the defensive scheme played out. But
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: that was different than what Kansas had been all game,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: So I thought they were just outstanding defensively. Footback here
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: to some individual performances again for a second, and you
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: go back to the turnovers lack thereof of kJ and
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: of Javon throughout the game, and if the team as
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: a whole, and remember you're going against the Big twelve
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: defensive Player of the Year. That's a guard in Dewan
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Harris who's really good and has played a ton of
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: games and applies a ton of defensive pressure. And you
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: didn't turn the ball over much against that defense. All
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: that adds to that story of how impressive that was.
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: Defensive Player of the Year will continue to say this, guys,
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: and I don't want it to get lost because he's
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: so good. We shouldn't just move past these performances. Javon
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: Small Guys is absolutely outstanding. Like you should appreciate being
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: able to have him in a Mountaineer uniform for this year.
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: He is putting together one of the best seasons we've
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: seen from anybody Tony in terms of how you control
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: the game, how he manages the game, how he dictates
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: the game, how he gets the other team to react
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: to what he's doing. He seemingly never reacts poorly to
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. A couple times this game he fell
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: down to do an old school rec Curly Neil from
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: the Globetrockers fell down, just kept his dribbled and got
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: up and hit a shot.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Marcus Haynes also would go down. He also speak just
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: remarkable what he is doing. And here's the other part
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: of him. For one of the top scorers in this league.
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: And again, when you're missing two of your top three scorers,
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: you're going to say, Javon, you've got to score, man,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: So you got to get some more buckets. Yet he
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: did not four shots in the first half when Kansas
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: was really intent on taking him away. He was content
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: to distribute and get Eduardo andre the ball on those
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: open shots, dunks and layups. He was content to distribute
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: to other players. He got on the glass eleven rebounds
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: out of your point guard. Here's what Javon Small had
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: six assis eleven rebounds to go along with his scoring
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: the way, and I'll get to some individual points when
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: he controlled that game and how he decided the game late.
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: But just overall, let's let's make a pact here to
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: not gloss over Javon's performances the rest of the year,
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: because it's easy to go. Yeah, Javon was really good. Okay,
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: let's talk about Javon is putting together a Player of
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: the year type of year so far. Symphony conductor.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: Amazing.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: He's a symphony conductor. He's out there, he's in total control.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: He waits for certain say, situations develop, and then boom
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: he attacks. Just yeah, like I said, I said the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: last episode, I said, he has just got this in
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: eight sense where he is in total control of the
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: game as good as I've seen.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: You asked him to push it go fast, fine, gotcha.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: You asked him to slow it down and walk it up, Fine,
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I got that too. I'll just handle it. Let's just okay,
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: let's stay on javan Let's talk about this. The patience
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: you mentioned there showed a couple of different times. One
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: of them was and I think he did it three
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: times and on a middle ball screen he went three
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: different ways. Hoppy just kept taking the defender. I think
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: it was Harris. I'm gonna bring you this way. Oh
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: you didn't bite, I didn't get by, Okay, fine, we're
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: going to come back this way. And Eduardo's just turning right,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: just spinning in place. I'm gonna set the screen this way,
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: now this way. Javon comes around once, not there comes
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: around twice, Not there comes around the third time. Boom,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I got you beat to the corner. I go in
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: for a layup. Just the patience that it takes to
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: keep working it and working it and working it. Incredible
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: end of the game. Let's talk about that last possession,
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: hop what I was talking about there, the counter that
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: Bill self made, that was a really good counter to
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: West Virginia. He just said, all right, going big against you,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: We're gonna bring in our backup center Bodega, who I
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: think is really talented, hob and fits that roster really well.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Sixty nine six ' ten freshmen can can run, is
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: really talented. He's gonna be a good player in this league.
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: He put him and Dickinson out there at the same time,
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: which causes a lot of problems for West Virginia from
• 31:16
  Speaker 2: a size perspective, and that made a difference. That made
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: that Kansas had a heck of a run there in
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the second half. Their offense got better. West Virginia's ability
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: to defend struggled a little bit, but what they did
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: was interesting. They took the sixt' nine, six ' ten
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Budena and put him on guards for West Virginia. Guarded
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: Sincere for a while. Sincere got matched up on kJ
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: for a while, and we were talking during the broadcast.
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: We kept saying, all right, if you're going to do that,
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: West Virginia's advantages, You've got a big out front on
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: your quicker guards. You've got to make them pay and
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: get to the basket. For the most part, Bedena did
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: a pretty good job of guarding, but they got that
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: switch on the last play of the game, the last possession.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Its switched up and Bodega's matched up against javan So
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: you got a freshman against a senior, a big against
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: one of the most talented guards in that league. And
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Javon didn't rush a shot, that clock is counting down,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: didn't hurry it, didn't press, didn't go too fast, kept
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: baiting him and baiting him and baiting him, and I'm
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: gonna go on it, and I'm not gonna go on it.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go, and I'm gonna step back. I'm gonna
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: go And finally gave him the little head and shoulder fake,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: got the freshman up in the air, Javon elevates, there's contact,
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: he goes to the line to win it. So it
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: took the half before you could really make them pay
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: for that switch of putting a big on a guard,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: but Javon got it at the end and got the win.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: Pretty pretty amazing.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was great. It was absolutely fantastic. Tell you
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: what you did. Really, you did a really nice job there, Senator, A.
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Very good job you went after it of understanding what happened.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you got more left on Oklahoma State.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I got a little more on Kansas too. Let's
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: do a couple more things.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Well, you know, the game is noon Saturday. We'll be
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: out of here by then, Yeah we will.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: Okay, We're gonna sit and enjoy this win and talk
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: about a little bit mention kJ nineteen minutes, zero turnovers.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: Let's talk about Jonathan Powell. The freshman gave you thirty
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: one minutes, had eleven points, three threes, and probably the
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: underrated part, he did a nice job defensively. There weren't
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: many times when we said, oh, they're attacking the freshman
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Jonathan Powell. Defensively, he was big. He played bigger than
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: what he is. He bodied people inside. I thought defensively
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: he was really good as well.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: That was a tremendous performance by both he and the
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: aforementioned kJ Tenner. When you're a baby, when you're a freshman,
• 33:26
  Speaker 1: and you walk on that floor and they got their
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: decibel meter up there at the end of the game,
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: that thing's going like one O five one O wait,
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: one ten, one twelve, and I mean, you can't even
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: hear yourself. And those guys are going like, let's go.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: What I always say, if you're good when you're young,
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: you're gonna be good forever. And that's what's encouraging about
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: both of those guys. They're making big time plays as
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: young young players. That to me is incredibly encouraging.
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: You needed Powell too, for on a game when you
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: didn't make a bunch of threes. You needed him to
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: make some, and it does a couple things. The obvious
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: of making threes, he had three of them, but the
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: other part and hop to your point of how did
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: this work, It was a couple things. You know, you're
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: going to high hedge and really jump at Javon and
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: that's where they kept slipping Eduardo down. And the obvious
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: was there that Javon orchestrated enough to get Edwardo to
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: the basket for a couple dunks. There was another time
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: when there was the short roll of Eduardo where it's
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: not all the way down the lane because they Kansas
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: pressed out higher. The role came and Eduardo got it
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: at the free throw line. And the way West Virginia
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: had its offense set up Eduardo's now the distributor. Kansas's
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: defense is in stress because it's got to pick where
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: to go. It picked the wrong guy. You dump it
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: down Toby o'connie with the layup. The other side of
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: that is when you have that pick and roll and
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: you set Powell over in the corner as a shooter,
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: they've got to okay, what are they going to do?
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: Are they going to drop down and try and help
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: the role man or are they going to protect the
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: three and not allow that. So Powell's mere presence, the
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: fact that he hit a couple, his mere presence on
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: that side of the floor makes the defense have to
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: account for it. So it just puts a lot of
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: stress on the defense when you're doing that. It's part
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: of why Joe Yesafu's role was big. Came in and
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: hit two shots, two big threes. He had the ability
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: to make threes. You've got to account for him. And
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: it opens that lane. From a defensive standpoint, what are
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: you gonna do. You're gonna come out and leave a
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: three open? Are you gonna guard and cut off the lane?
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: So that helped too. Two three other performances and then we'll
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: get out here on Kansas. Should have mentioned Eduardo Andre
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: before now, and I know we said he played thirty
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: five minutes, was outstanding, fifteen points, seven of nine from
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: the field. He just he absolutely made them pay for
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: high hedging, made Dickinson ineffective. Edwardo Andre, he was tremendous,
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: tremendous game from him. Toby o'connie had one of those
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: performances that will probably not get talked about it much
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: as much because there were so many others as I
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: just did. Right, You talked about four others before you
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: get to him. He was only three of eleven from
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: the floor you mentioned got one of the offensive rebounds
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: waved off. That was outstanding. He just elevated up like
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: he does at least once a game, gets a good
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: tip in. He was tremendous on k Adams kJ Adams
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: is a really talented athletic player for Kansas. A lot
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: of times uses his size to bully inside. He's so
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: strong his legs look like a fullback and he bodies
• 36:10
  Speaker 2: you inside and then play. Yeah, a good one has
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: the ability to elevate up athleticism wise too. I thought
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: Toby just matched him like size and strength wise and
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: athleticism just said okay, fine, we'll just match up here
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: and really rendered Adams ineffective. And again, he's not one
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: of their leading scorers, but he does a lot of
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: things for that Kansas team, and Toby was just toe
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: to toe with him. Really good performance. And then Sincere
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Harris again with his on ball defense on Dewan, Harris
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: in particular made them Kansas struggle to get into some
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: of its stuff offensively, he was really good on ball defense.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: He saw Kansas try and attack when he would go
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: out of the game and try and take advantage of
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: younger guards out front. But I thought Harris was really good.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: That was also one of the switches from Darren. He
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: puts Sincere in some different spots than he'd been in
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: order to force the defense to have to guard him
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: and make a matchup situation there. Instead of being able
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: to sag off and use him as a help defender,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: they made them have to guard Sincere, which again open
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: lanes to the basket. You put Sincere in positions where
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: he's good at scoring at the rim or that little
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: baby hook in the lane. So really good planning on
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: how to use Buck and very good execution by him
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: to stay within himself and do what he was good
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: at doing.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all thumbs up, three guys before the game is
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: brought to by lou Wendell Marine Sales. Twenty twenty four
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: was a huge year for lou Wendell Marine sales. This
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: was the year that we we unearthed here on this
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: podcast that Christopher Columbus in fact used a lou Wendell
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: pontoon boat. Well, there I mean, that's the current store
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: that's in the Saint Albans location right there. Those are
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: the Avalon pontoon boats, one manufactured here in the United States.
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Besides those, they sell the g three boats. You guys
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: know that, I mean perfect for fishing. They do everything
• 38:01
  Speaker 1: you want, the Gator series there. But it was this
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: picture of Christopher Columbus coming across there is is on
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: that lou Wendell pontoon So if you'd like to meet Chris,
• 38:12

• 38:14
  Speaker 1: for you. Go to lou Wendell Marine at sales dot com,
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: the premier pontoon boat dealer in the state of West Virginia.
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: Cowboys of Oklahoma State come in on Saturday high noon
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Big twelve home opener. What do you hear about tickets?
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: El Senator? Well, I haven't checked over double digits.
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: That should I mean, should be a fantastic crowd. I'll
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: be surprised if it's not ten thousand.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Gold rush something. Isn't it gold I think it is.
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: Chick I'll check.
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: I think it is gold Rush Saturday, I think it is.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: I think it's gold Rush. All right, what do we
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: know on the Cowboys and this bizarre world. There's a
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: former player who helped beat Kansas last season for West
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: Virginia now at Oklahoma State, and there's an Oklahoma State
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: player from here that's not West.
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: Virginia that helped beat Kansas this year, bea Kansas going
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: to Pat Snick for Oklahoma State. That twenty against Kansas
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: last year was critical in that win over the number
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: three Jayhawks in the coliseum. He'll come in with the Cowboys.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: Here's the quick scout on Oklahoma State. They're gonna want
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: to push it offensively. They want to get up and
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: down the floor. They average fifteen points per game off
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: fast breaks, and they're going to look for threes in
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: transition forty one percent from three point range in transition.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: Now they're opening Big twelve game. They drew Houston in
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: that game, heck of a defensive squad. Houston held them
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: to single digit points in transition. That's the first time
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: all season that Oklahoma State hasn't got into double figures there.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: So that's going to be an early key for West Virginia,
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: which it's been good about get back in transition. Defense
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: forced them to get into the shot clock with Oklahoma
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: State so far on the season. The longer you've gone
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: making them work the shot clock, the better off you are.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: They average one point per possession in the first ten
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: seconds of the clock that goes down for each ten
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: second in down to point six eight points per possession
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: from twenty to thirty seconds used on the clock. So
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: make sure you get back in transition, force them to
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: run their offense, and generally you should be in good
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: shape there. They're very good on the offensive glass. So
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: it's a team that has not shot it well. Bottom
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: one hundred nationally and two point field goal percentage, two
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: hundred and fourth in three point field goal percentage, so
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: they haven't shot it well, but they have got on
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: the offensive glass extremely well. Top forty nationally in offensive rebounding,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: and they don't give up many offensive rebounds. Top twenty
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: six in terms of defensive rebounding percentage. So force some
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: miss just like you did at Kansas. Force the miss,
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: get on the glass defensively, make them one and done,
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: and if you limit transition you should be in good shape.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Here's a part where I would expect them to truck
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: to be to struggle a little bit. Oklahoma State, if
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: all things stay equal, they have not got many unguarded
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: catch and shoot jumpers. In fact, they've only had two
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: of eleven games this season with more unguarded catch and
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: shoots than they have had guarded catch and shoots. They're
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: going against a West Virginia defense that gives up the
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: fewest percentage of possessions with an on guarded catch and shoot.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: So you're getting a team that doesn't get a lot
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: of them against a team in West Virginia that doesn't
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: give them up. That should bode well for a team
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: that's not shooting it well. Right, those are factors that
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: are in West Virginia's favor right there. Watch them on
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the right corner, the three from the right corner, they're
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: pretty good forty one percent from there, so keep an
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: eye on that. Defensively, for the Cowboys, they live off
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: of steels and those defensive rebounds. Those steals lead to
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: the runouts and their transition game. They're thirty fourth nationally
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: and opponent turnover percentage. They're top ten in steel percentage.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: So West Virginia protecting the ball, Hopey is going to
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: be another key here. West Virginia shooting the ball. Oklahoma
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: State gives up the most on guarded catch and shoot
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: jumpers in the Big Twelve, excuse me, the most on
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: guarded catch and shoot jumpers per game in the Big Twelve.
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: That should bode well. West Virginia gets a lot of
• 42:02
  Speaker 2: them and has been very good. That's where that assists
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: rate matters, the extra pass. West Virginia should have some
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: open shots. Now, you've just got to make them. One
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: area to watch. Opponents are shooting nearly fifty percent from
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: three from the left corner against Oklahoma State. But it's
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: not a great spot for West Virginia, just twenty nine
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: percent on the season. So can West Virginia get some threes?
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: Your two most likely candidates, Toby a lot of times
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: in the corner. Can he get a three or two
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: or a couple of threes from there? Or JP? They've
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: taken the two most shots from that spot, each shooting
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: around thirty percent. Opponents shooting thirty nine percent from the
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: top of the key three against Oklahoma State. Watch javaon
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: here that middle ball screen or just off the top
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: of the key where he comes back to the middle.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: That would be a spot that seemingly you could get
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: some shots. He's thirty percent from that spot on the year,
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: but he should be open with some of those high
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: ball screens right there. Keep an eye on that. Oklahoma
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: State has no faced a team that will use the
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: pick and roll ball handler as much as West Virginia will.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: Right now Javon number one in the Big twelve and
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: possessions per game by the pick and roll ball handler.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State's gonna probably see that a lot. They'll have
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: to show they can defend that.
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: There you go, very good.
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: Tuesday. That's not the gold Rush against Oklahoma State. That's
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: gonna be Tuesday when the Arizona.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, thank you for correcting. What's tomorrow?
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Tomorrow? Tomorrow Saturday?
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Saturday, Saturday is.
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: Photo booth setup, photo artistry day. So you're gonna be
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: down there looking like CARKI the clown was bell balloon.
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: On top of your head. I got a poodle, got
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: a blue, golden blue poodle.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: Here.
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: Clown just made it for me out in the hallway halftime.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: Brad's making balloons animals.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah, court, Okay, So gold rush is Tuesday, Arizona, Arizona.
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: What times that tip by seven o'clock? That's good ESPN plus.
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: But you know, you guys on.
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: The radio Arizona is on a two game road trip.
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: I forget where they were. It might be a since
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: then that a first, I'm not sure. Maybe I'll say,
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: sure where they're going on Saturday, but they're going to
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: stay that road.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: But I think that that Kansas game proves what you
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: want to prove as a coach and as a team
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: that can line up and play anybody in the league,
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: which is a very tough league. So now you start
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: and go, Okay, here we go. I mean you'll have
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: you'll have games where you won't play as well I
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: would imagine, but still because you got this tough schedule,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: got this home opener, then you got to play, uh,
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: who's after? Oh, who's after?
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: You got to go in the road again Colorado, Colorado
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: Houston and Houston Houston Cougar's So I mean.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's relentless, right, you've used that word relentless.
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: Well, the two things that you got going for you
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: are mental. They feel good about themselves, are confident and tough,
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: and on paper, defensively they're really good. They're currently number
• 44:52
  Speaker 1: two in the Big twelve in field goal percentage.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Defense nationally and defensive efficiency. This is again we talked
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: probably much about the offense, not enough about defense. The
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: defense is driving this team right now.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: I ask them. I'm on public affairs program. We asked
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: the coach. I said, late in the game, when you
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: had a time out and you were talking to them
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: and looking at them, what did you see? He said,
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: they were fine. Yeah, they were confident, didn't look freaked out.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: If you can go there, if you're can go there
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: and play like that, then you can go anywhere and
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: play anyway.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: So you've beaten Gonzaga on a neutral and you've beaten
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: Kansas there, So yeah, you can line up against anybody.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Now there's some tough spot. This is a tough spot.
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: You want to talk about spots. This is a very
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: difficult spot. This would be what would be categorized by
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: some as a potential letdown spot. You're back home after
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: one of the biggest wins in school history. You've got
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: to come back now. It helps it you're at home,
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: but you're getting an Oklahoma State team that was picked
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: near the bottom of the Big twelve standings. You've got
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: to show up and player. They'll come in here, absolutely,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: you know, And that's I know, that's coach speak a
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: little bit and that's cliche.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: Tree.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: We're going to say that every week in the Big twelve.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: That's that is, that's a fact in this league.
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: Now, I'll ask you, guys, because as you know, during
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: my probing interview, I didn't get a didn't get a
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: really get answered. Do you expect Hansbury to play.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Great question day to day?
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: Hoppy?
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: We certainly hope he's ready to play great question. I
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: hope that he's ready sooner than later. I'm literally doing
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: there important piece. Yeah, I mean, he warmed up at Kansas.
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: He did warm up, so he's probably closer to playing
• 46:19
  Speaker 5: than not playing. But I think today was going to
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: be a very big day at practice.
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: What could he do?
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, you just roll games quickly, now, right, Tony,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: you go Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday. That's three games in seven days.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: You've been on a stretch where you played three games
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: over like what twenty one twenty two days in there,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: so that one game can turn into three pretty quickly.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: That's your that's your concern.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: So you're good.
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: I'm good.
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Well, if you're a regular on this show, you know
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: that I'm oftentimes unfairly attacked for over promising. Recently, I've
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: made unfairly. Recently, I brought up we got something specially
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: coming up in this new year, and here it is.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: You're ready.
• 46:57

  Speaker 1: with his obvious observations. Why did that happened? You didn't
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: have any obvious observations.
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: I think we're all so excited about the Kansas game
• 51:05
  Speaker 3: that we just all jumped into it.
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: Well, let me tell you. Let me tell you something here, Harvester.
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: All right, I'll correct it, big Win.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: One of our listeners, one of our listeners, has fallen
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: in love with Happy's obvious observations. So he had a
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: song made called Hoppy's Obvious Observations.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: Another song do You Not have any Headphones?
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: Skippy? So we had a song produced, and then I
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: had our good man Ben Lohman, who he's just terrific
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: video producers, Dan's kid. So he put pictures next to
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: the new song Ladies and Gentlemen. Here becomes the world
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: premiere of Hoppies Obvious Observations. Take it Away, Jake World premiere.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: The mountains tall and green. He says, they're the tallest
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: he's at the first scene with the grin. He points
• 52:08
  Speaker 4: at the clear blue sky. It says, the clouds look
• 52:12
  Speaker 4: like they could fly. Happy finds a river, white and strong.
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: He says in Mustagaden, they're all along. He kicks the
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: leaves and laughs out loud. He says they're nature's blanket
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: on the ground.
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: Puffy says him.
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: At that tree, it's got branches like the Man to be.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: He spots a barn and says, oh, that's the lettuce
• 52:43
  Speaker 4: barn I've.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: Seen till now.
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: Happy says they are so fresh and clean. It says,
• 53:06

• 53:11
  Speaker 4: and shake their heads. Happy's living life without regrets. See
• 53:18
  Speaker 4: you guys getting in out before the game. Happy's words
• 53:23

• 53:55
  Speaker 1: you very much for doing that.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: But yeah, very nice, thank you, very good, very good. Well,
• 53:58
  Speaker 3: somebody's got to say the obvious, you guys, I mean,
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: Brad is just like Brad is so far down into
• 54:05
  Speaker 3: the weeds, the weeds important information Barry. The obvious still
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: needs to be said.
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta say this time for textual healing, let's
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: do it.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: It's nice.
• 54:20
  Speaker 1: Textual healing brought to us by episode eight hundred dot com.
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: We already talked about it. That's the place where you
• 54:25
  Speaker 1: can get all of our stuff. Check it out, and
• 54:32
  Speaker 1: we're jumping in. People got a lot of textual healing stuff.
• 54:35
  Speaker 1: Texas says this, how would you describe the Big twelve
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: now after one year of sixteen teams? Is there a
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: certain type of player that we need to recruit? A
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: few years ago, it seemed like speed was the number
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: one priority with the air raid type offenses. Yeah, the number.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: You gotta recruit football players, as stupid as that sounds,
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: You just gotta have dogs, got to have great players.
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: You gotta have really good players. You want to be
• 55:03
  Speaker 1: really good. Watch these games in the college football Playoff,
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: what do you see really good players?
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: You saw like Arizona State made an incredible comeback in
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: that game, and you saw a guy who's a player
• 55:16
  Speaker 3: you saw Scataboo, right, I mean, he's just like, what
• 55:19
  Speaker 3: do you want? Do you want to throw a pass?
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: You wanted to get two points? You wanted to run
• 55:22
  Speaker 3: for I mean, and he was steinied in the first
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: half and he just kept grinding. He got better as
• 55:27
  Speaker 3: the game went on. So you need guys like that brand.
• 55:29
  Speaker 2: You know, there's still different ways to do it. Though
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: BYUS had a remarkable year over year jump. They did
• 55:35
  Speaker 2: it mostly with defense. Now, their quarterback played really well
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: limited turnover seats, so you obviously have to start there,
• 55:41
  Speaker 2: but they did it with defense. That was a heck
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: of a defensive team in BYU. Conversely, and you saw
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: BYU get the upper hand in this bowl game against
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Colorado's Colorado did it another way. They went with elite skill.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: They needed a better offensive line to protect at times,
• 55:56
  Speaker 2: and that showed up against BYU. But they've done it
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: in an elite skillspoint. I think it still remains what
• 56:02
  Speaker 2: it's been. Guys. You got to find some people that
• 56:04
  Speaker 2: can get after the quarterback. Yes, you've got to find
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: some people on the back end that can guard the receivers.
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: And I think offensively, it does have to start up front.
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: This league has become more physical than it was in
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: the early days of the Big Twelve when it was
• 56:16
  Speaker 2: so much air rate. As the Texter said, I think
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: now it's back to more physicality upfront. We've seen Westerndin's
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: success running it, and certainly with richest system, you're going
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: to need to be physical upfront and control those lines.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: I thought that BYU Colorado game. I thought that was
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: remarkable performance by BYU because Colorado got all offensive power
• 56:35
  Speaker 3: and by you just said you know what we're coming,
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah we're coming, and if you beat us, okay, but
• 56:40
  Speaker 3: we're not going to make it easy on it. And he
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: has got after Sanders all night and dominated that game.
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: Robin Lebanon, Pennsylvania just finished watching the Kansas game, Bill
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: self's an excellent coach. He was out coached though by
• 56:52
  Speaker 1: Darren Devrees. Very impressed by the changes in style, adapting
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: to tough situations. Freshmen look good, future looks bright. Adam
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: in Summer's Bill says, ku goes down. What a hire,
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: what a leader, what a coach? I've seen enough? Pay
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: the man. Texters says, let me do my best brad impression.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: Y'all heard of this guy? Eduardo Andre thirty four minutes,
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: six rebounds, three assays, four blocks, seven for nine for
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: fifteen points. This is where stats don't tell the whost story.
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: He was on everywhere on the court.
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: Uh big right by the way, four blocks for EDWARDO
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't mention earlier. Yeah, well, well that's given the
• 57:24

  Speaker 2: the venue they were in, being protective of the areas

  Speaker 1: Even with a blown tire, missing key players, team goes
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: into Kansas wins defense always travels Happy New Year. Text
• 59:41
  Speaker 1: he from was visiting my cousins in Connecticut in December.
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: One of them is a plant manager of a small
• 59:48
  Speaker 1: manufacturing company. He saw my nobody Cares work Harder hat
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: and he loved it. The next day he goes into
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: his HR manager told her that that had to be
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: the new company slogan. She didn't share passion. I ordered
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: him a hat. He just received it just before Christmas.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: Thanks Dave, excellent, Happy New Year's fellows. Have a safe
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: trip home. Tony and Brad, you do a great job
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: of calling the games on the radio. So Justin and
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: I decided to play nine holes today while we listened
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: to the second half. So they're a golfing while the
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 1: Mountaineers are playing. A much better experience in watching ESPN plus,
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: he said, get this. On the very first hold, Justin
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 1: found a brand new Titleist pro V one, which is
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: usually a joy for US golfers to find. But the
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: ball was customized and said rock chalk jayhawk, So instead
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: of keeping it a six dollars treasure, he teed it
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: up and sert tongue click and blasted it into the woods.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 3: Well done.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 1: While we were beyond a lady with the outcome, the
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 1: emotions of that half of basketball did not help our
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: golf game because it's damn near impossible to concentrate on
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: making a seventeen foot putt when I hear Tony screaming
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 1: seventeen footer. Good But who cares about our golf game?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 1: We finally won an Allen Field House. Harry and Brad say,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: this is the ultimate thanks for having us brought the
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: biggest smile to our faces, joy to our hearts, especially
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: since my delusional KU friends are literally saying that the
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: refs cost them the game. What a happy New Year,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: A great day to be a Mountaineer. Signed by Matt

• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: Well done, fellas.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 3: This has been so far this season long way to go.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 3: Especially the Kansas game has been a big lift because candidly,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 3: I think you knew right off the bat you had
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 3: a good coach, good staff, and some good guys brought in.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 3: But you know, Brad, last year was just a struggle
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 3: for variety of reasons, and the history of the last
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: couple of years was very difficult. This gives you optimism,
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 3: It gives you like a room to breathe. It's like, oh, okay,
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: optimism and hope. Optimism.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: It's the greatest thing in sports when you have hope
• 1:01:47
  Speaker 2: and optimism and you line up every game and listen,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 2: We've said this, there are gonna be hills and valleys still,
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be some bumps that come in this league.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: But you line up every game and go, all right,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: let's go, let's go. You got some hope.

  Speaker 1: from the top. Other hikers looked at us like we
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: were crazy as we cheered for Small to make the

  Speaker 1: last free throw. It truly is a great day to
• 1:02:19

  Speaker 1: didn't think it was gonna miss too. Didn't think he was.

  Speaker 3: Dave was out there on Christmas.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: Eve, just delivering delivering stuff is working.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 1: Wanted to share several West Virginia connection stories over the
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: last several years. Here. One, when we were first moving,
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: we were looking for a church to attend. We had
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: attended Chestnut Ridge in Morgantown. We're looking for something similar,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: so they moved to Florida. One of the sundays we
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: visit a large church. Young lady shows up, asks us
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: where we're moving in from. I said, West Virginia. She
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: said where. I said, small college town. Probably never heard
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: of it, she said, try me. I said Morgantown. Her
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: reply was, yeah, I know. I naturally asked, well, how'd
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: she know? She said her brother had attended WVU. She said,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: in fact, he had played on the basketball squad at
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 1: the college. She obviously had my attention, so I said, well, well, well,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: well who is your brother? Her reply was Alex Ruoff.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: I let her know I had met him briefly. Once
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: she and my wife and I had a great conversation
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: from that point on. Needless to say, we ended up
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: attending church there. Thanks guys for all you do to
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: keep us at distance connected. God bless, Happy New Year.
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: Don from Trinity, Florida. It seems like a guy that
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: lives in Trinity, Florida would go.
• 1:04:54
  Speaker 2: To church about Alex recruiting for the congregation down there.
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: Well done, t Dub from Barbersville, Fellas. I'm going to
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: go back to a post Christmas sports line question of
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: the night. Name something from West Virginia that you would
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: like to return?
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 3: What does that mean?
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: So the day after Christmas.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 3: Oh you did?
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 1: We said what would you like to do? It was
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: the twenty sixth, so I said, everyone returned something to
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 1: the store on the twenty six What do you want
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: to return? In sports was the question like what we
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 1: do a mountaineer from what would you like to give back?
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: Like?
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: Get it?
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 3: Give back?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: It's just like I don't want it, am you can
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: return this. I don't want this, like the pit loss Yeah.
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 1: I was going to say the pit lows. Yeah, right,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: So anyway, he says, well, gentlemen, I'm returning every postgame
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: interview I listened to from twenty twelve through twenty three
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 1: in exchange for the one given on New Year's Eve
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 1: twenty four. I'm giving back having to listen to excuses
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 1: of why we didn't win and why we won't win.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 1: We now have a locker room where excuses are not allowed.
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 1: Coach de Reeese mentioned that this team is dangerous because
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: they're gaining confidence, not a word about his two best
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: offensive players also being a two worst defensive players. As
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: a lifelong West Virginia fan residing in the suburbs of
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: what some call East Ktlitsburg, my confidence level before opening
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: tip has gone from just having a puncher's chance to
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: the probability of an opposing team's medical staff running out
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 1: of the field during the Carl Joseph Era. My wish
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 1: for twenty five and beyond is that when every Big
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 1: twelve coach sees West Virginia on its schedule, their expression
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 1: immediately becomes that of Frank Beemer when Grant Wiley stuffed
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 1: Lee Suggs and O two appreciate you guys for all
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 1: you do.
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 3: Let's go nice sug Grant Wiley references you had a
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: lot in there.
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 1: Lee Suggs, Yeah, Lee Suggs.
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Gets as you have that on the big go car.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 1: Steven Tennessee says, we know we are not going to
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: get a good whistle when we go to Kansas. But
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: did y'all catch the shot clock operator only giving us
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 1: a twenty second possession after the WVU after the KU
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: backcourt violation. I did not. Javon fell down in the corner,
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: gets up, rushes shot. The clock was already under five,
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: but it should have been at least fifteen. Thankfully you
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: made the shot. Could have been a disaster. My high
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: school coach always said, adapt, improvised and overcome. Pretty sure,
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: our coach has instilled that no excuse mentality. Texter, this
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: is Alex Addie from Mount Morris, PA. That's right over
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: the border. Hopey, he's seventy nine. Is having to cross
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: over well just far enough for your cell phone to
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: stop working when you go over there. But anyway, thank
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 1: you for the seats. Three guys. We enjoyed the women's
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 1: basketball game on New Year's Day. The women's team took
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: care of business, hopefully on the way to a great
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 1: conference record. There they are. These are the seats that
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 1: homeless Dave. These are homeless Dave's seats that we give
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: away on various home women's games. They were like, yeah,
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: if you're any closer, you're sitting in Mark Kellogg's lap. Yeah,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: or on the court. He says, I'd love the press
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 1: and the fight from this team. If you haven't been
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: to a game, you got to go see him. Yeah,
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 1: So thanks Alex. Glad that you had a good time.

  Speaker 1: We had the coach on though he wouldn't to know
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 1: all that happy. He wasn't second half.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 2: He wasn't happen that should never happen here.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 3: Which are never Oh they can't be they can't be
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 3: totally happy.
• 1:08:23
  Speaker 4: I know.

• 1:08:44
  Speaker 1: on these polls.

  Speaker 2: Should be higher.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: By the way, you know that it's only a matter
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 1: of time before they have that biscuit challenge again this year.
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, the Tutor's biscuit. They are the defending champ.

• 1:08:57
  Speaker 2: Very hard, red really hard on ruin it once, really
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 2: hard to repeat.
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: Well, let me just tell you something. Last March, the
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: folks a Tutors won the South's Best biscuit in a

  Speaker 1: the bread. Well, not often always, if the bread sucks,
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 1: I don't care what's in the side of it. If
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 1: the bread sucks, you don't know, you don't have a
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: good sandwich. It's always the bread.
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: Bread's crew.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 1: It's all about.

  Speaker 2: That's his that's his opinion that he's just getting louder
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: about because he thought you were going to debate him

  Speaker 2: on it, so he elevated the volume there. Did you
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 2: notice he did that.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: I did notice.
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: He sensed he correctly read you that you were going
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 2: to debate on that, so he instantly went volume up
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: on you. That's his opinion.
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: It is his opinion, I'm gonna do a Google search.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 3: I was just about to say.
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 1: What's the most important part of a.
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: This is a subjective?
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 1: Which this is a subjective.
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: What's Google going to tell you? How does Google know
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: what I like?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 1: What I like?
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: I don't need Google to try and tell me what
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: I like like what he's going to try and back
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: it up with a Google search from Google listener out
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: there going, I don't care about the bread.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: According this is the AI generated refinement of all the answers.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 1: According to the most culinary experts, the most important part
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 1: of with just the bread, as it serves as the foundation,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 1: holding the filling together and providing essential textures and flavored
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 1: The overall bit.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: Well, he views himself as one of those culinary experts,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 2: so that's why he went with that side of it.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 2: But I mean, it's like a movie reviewer. I don't
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 2: need some movie reviewer to tell me what I would
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: think of what I like in a movie. I'll go
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 2: decide myself.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 3: What if you have great bread and in the middle
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 3: is the old sole of a.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 1: Shoe, right, or at least you get a good initial crunch.
• 1:11:25
  Speaker 1: Bread provides great structure, flavor, contribution, and moisture up absorption.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 1: It's opinion.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 3: Also if the bread, what if the ingredients, Like if
• 1:11:34
  Speaker 3: if you had a tuna sandwich like alba core tuna
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 3: and the bread is bad.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: Throw the bread away, the bread out, and then I'll
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: go maybe get a tortilla. Just put it in tortilla.
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 1: I have a little tuna rap.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 3: So fine, enjoy my lunch exactly.
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: Will make up a little egg salad.
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 1: Don't like that.
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: I don't have good bread on hank. I just can
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: put in a little rap exactly, and multiple options there.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: If the eggs salads bad, then the bread's gonna bread.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: Not gonna save that expiring expired mayo in your bed.
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna save that.
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: By the way, I think we should open contest. Remember
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: the last time Jason checked in on rate the plate.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do rate the plate. Send me a
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 1: plate of food that you're eating. You're going to do that.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 1: I'd like to do that. People have to send they
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 1: have to send their plate. We'll rate it for them.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: Like whatever eating, whether it's at home, whether you're in
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: a restaurant, if you got a great plate, like they
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: just don't send us anything that's bad. Send us a
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 1: great plate.
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: I question your objectivity in such judgment.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 1: I'll be fair. I'll be fair.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 3: They buy your own admission, You'll be fair.
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 1: I'll be very fair, Texas says Tony and Brad. Can
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 1: you describe the mood of the flight coming home? What's
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: that like after a big win? You would be incredibly disappointed.
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 3: Because you guys just fall asleep there.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, well, he does. The excitement is always in
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 1: the locker room, and by the time they get on
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 1: the bus, they eat their food, and then by the
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 1: time they get in the plane, whether you win in
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 1: dramatic fashion, whether you lose and can convincing fashion, like,
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 1: it's always the same. It's just like it's quiet.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: It was one of the things that Happy I told
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 2: Tony impressed me about this team. You're right. At the
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: locker room they were, they were super excited, as well
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 2: they should be. But by the time we were exiting,
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 2: they were just business as usual. I mean, Okay, let's
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: go what's next. They put their headphones on, Yeah, get
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: on the play and each food. Let's go there. But
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 2: what's next? I do think I do think some of
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 2: their the newness of these guys maybe played a role
• 1:13:27
  Speaker 2: in that hot. Really, they didn't carry in the baggage
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: of past disaster stars cars. They didn't have that. They're like,
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: it's a super tough place to play against a really
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: good team. Let's play, right, We're the ones walking in
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: there with the baggage going on. There comes to run, Oh,
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: there comes the officials. Whistles, are right, all right, let's
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 2: go play.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 1: I talked. I talked to Darren today and he said,
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: I told them before the game that these guys don't
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: lose much at home. They normally lose one game a year.
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: If that so, why not why not that be us today?
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 1: Why don't we be the one team and they might
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 1: not lose again.
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: Twenty eighteen since they've lost more than one at home.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, twenty eighteen really kill Yeah.
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: I was thought about whether you apply the word historic,
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 3: but I think in terms of West Virginia basketball history,
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: and that's that's a deep history bread with.
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 1: A lot there.
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: But you can probably put that in the near history cabin.
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 2: Is, especially given the circumstances of that particular game. In fact,
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: you've never won their top ten opponent. I mean, there
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 2: were some things just individually would make it that you
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: combine all those things absolutely less.
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: NCAA team now.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 1: They're trending that way. But nineteen more.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: Game, Yeah, there's so much basketball. So here's what you've done.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 2: Here's how you answer that question. What you've done with
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: your early season performance over Gonzaga, Arizona and now Kansas.
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: You've put yourself in a position, right, you've got to
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: go win, You've got to win these games. But you've
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: put yourself in a position and you've probably allowed yourself
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: a slip up or two in conference play that you
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: would have not been allowed had you not had these
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: big marque non conference wins. So you're in position. Nineteen
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: games is a lot of basketball left.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 1: You gotta win minimum of nine games I think to
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 1: nine or ten games in the league when.
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: Your home win your home games, account for a slip
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 3: up and try to get grab a couple on the road.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, you're gonna be a double digit favorite Saturday.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: But then Arizona coming in here, they're gonna be They're
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 1: gonna be seeking revenge. Right, talker played.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: I don't sneak past Arizona here there.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: No, I know, I mean Tucker Tucker played the last game,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 1: did not play, you know, probably won't go again. By
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 1: the way, Texter wanted to know, Brad, if you and
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: I took a picture on the Florida Allen Field House
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 1: after the game, because when you, unfairly guys were baiting
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 1: me about getting my picture taken at sporting events and
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: I said I wouldn't do it, and you said, I said, well,
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 1: if we win at Kansas, I'll take my picture. We
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 1: did not do it.
