• 1:56
  Speaker 1: you a little bit of a a preface, preface to
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: the podcast. A couple of things that you're absolutely not
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: supposed to do when you're when you're broadcasting.
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: One is eat before you go on the air.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: I saw you guys just killing candy. I mean, what
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: were you doing.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Two, if you do eat something before the game, make
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: sure that it's not anything to do with peanuts.
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: And what were you doing? Well, what were just you
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: both were just like handfuls.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: What we were doing was we were destroying this bag
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: of peanut m and m's. And there's a couple of
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: reasons we might as well come totally clean.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: I wish you would.
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: Brad and I have an addiction issue. And the addiction
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is pean and M and MS. And now we've got
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: a bigger problem. We've got a dealer.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Supplier.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: We got a supplier. We gotta we got a dealer.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: Hey, the first ones are free.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well you know we got a pusher. We got
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: a pusher from here in Morgantown. Hey, uh, Jake, put
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: that picture up. I just said you. This is that
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: gentleman in the middle is John Lucas, and he is
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: a He is a wonderful fan, great guy, and he's
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: also become our de facto peanut Eminem's dealer. He just
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: comes to our broadcast table before games and he just
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: smacks him down. Here you go, fellas and love. John
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: probably should not have eaten these before he went on
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: the air. So we're gonna cough, hacks, spit and do
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: all kinds of stuff.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: Well double probably he used to just bring you one
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: and then I just take half years. Now I'm in
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: he's bringing me my own bag. So we got a
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: whole another bag over here when we finish that. Yeah,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: number three, I didn't even tell you this because I
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: didn't include you. My buddy Jeff Arnett comes down the
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: stands last night at halftime right, reaches over with a
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: big giant pack of Eminem's hands me Eminem's at halftimes,
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: says here for the second half.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Oh no, here's what I don't understand about you guys,
• 4:00
  Speaker 4: the peanut and Eminem's.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: I like peanut Eminem's as much as anybody. But when
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: I get a bag, you know, lay them out. Eat
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: one eat when you're green, one eat brown, eat one.
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: You guys just have handful.
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, they're not as good one at a time. I
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: can just confirm. Oh no, I disagree with We need
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: him six or seven or eight, nine, ten, twelve at
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: a time.
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: You get a lot more diversity in your bite when
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: you have a bunch of them exploding in your mouth.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: If it's a bag, if it's one of the bags,
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: the package, just drink it.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he got these at Go Mart too. By
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the way, John got his at Go Mart. I'm sure
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Jef did as well.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely, all.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Right, let's get down to it, all right, jumping on.
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: In West Virginia sixty two, Cincinnati fifty nine. There are
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of things that you can say about the game.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: One of those is this, it will forever be memorable.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: It will forever be memorable. I mean, you'll see a
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: lot of three point games in your life, but never
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the way the thing got to three, like this one
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: got to three. Bad news, good news. I'll do the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: bad news. If Cincinnati would have hit the three at
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: the horn, descend it to overtime, and then if West
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Virginia lost the game, it would go down without question
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: as one of the top five losses ever ever because
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: you were at the foul line with seventeen seconds to
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: go up nine.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I know, but you can run it down because I
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: think there was eight seconds left.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: You were still up nine, correct, there was, there was
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: eight seconds. He hit one at eight and he hit
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: one at five.
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Holy potato sticks. That was an almost But guess what
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: had them all the way? But guess what doesn't matter.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: It's not gymnastics and it's not figure skating. They don't
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: judge you with ratings and style points. It's like, what's
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: the number sixty? You get the w you learn from that,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: every single one of those kids on that mountain, Your
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: team will forever have that in their head and they'll
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: play it down to the horn. But that was something
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: that will remember. But forget about that.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: Well, hold on, can I say something real quick? Sure,
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: because some people do kind of count that stuff. There
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: a couple people hop that maybe look at that. So
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Scott van Pelt, it'll forever live on bad beats. He
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: did a special and normally he does it on Monday.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: He did it last night. Yes, he did it last night.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: One of the all time great gags.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Here's why line closed West Virginia minus three and a half.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Game ends three. It was at two and a half
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: for a little bit, so Hopwood. We always say when
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: I used to do a game within the game, I
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: always said, shop around, make sure you gets the best number.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Number matters. But I'll go further. I don't know if
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: the I don't know if mister van Pelt had this
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: in his little breakdown of this game. So those folks
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: that had minus three and a half West Virginia beside themselves.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: People that had plus three and a half Cincinnata giddy,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: and then the numbers whatever side you're on. There was
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: also a miss at nine to twenty five on the clock. Yeah,
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Mitchell from Cincinnata hits an apparent three. Toe is on
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: the line TV. I watched it again this morning TV.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: A toe's on the line. The TV announcer Franz says, well,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: they're not going to stop the game now, don't want
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: to slow it down. They'll come over and check this
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: for review. This will be corrected to A two. They
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: had a great shot of it. His foot's on the
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: I mean it's on the line. They came over, checked
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: the review Tony and left it unless they were looking
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: at another play and never reviewed that one, which is possible.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: Don't know exactly which one they were reviewing, but it
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: was shortly there after came overlooked. So really it should
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: have been a four point win, which then cashes every
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: West Virginia number that you had. So if you were
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: playing around in that world, you had an interesting last
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: few minutes of that game.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so a lot to get into, and we'll talk
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: about that. Plus we'll preview Texas Tech time now for Hoppies.
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: Obvious observations, and again they continue to be sponsored by
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: absolutely no one.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: No sponsorship.
• 8:09
  Speaker 5: So obviously there's no sponsor, no, which is obviously you
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: don't say anything exactly, keep coming with the content I
• 8:17
  Speaker 5: brought to you to public service three guys, Tony.
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: As you said, memorable, but not nearly as memorable as
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: it could have been, which would have been disastrous, right,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: I mean up nine with ten seconds to go, and
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: they make a couple of threes, so it could have
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: been it would have been disastrous. But and I know
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: what Brad's gonna say, what you're gonna say, and what
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: coach Devrees said, But you don't apologize. You take it
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: and you move on. You got to win.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: Don't apologize or qualify it. Never win got thats not
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the win. And this was breaks tend to even themselves out.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: And we have talked over the last couple of games
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: about not getting breaks and not getting to the free
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: throw line. And you've got a couple of breaks here,
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I mean most notably the free throw line where you
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: were twelve or fourteen, so you got there enough and
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: major shots and they only got there seven.
• 9:06
  Speaker 4: Times and made and only made two. So you got
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: to break there. And you got a break when Betsy
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: missed the shot at the gun there, So you got
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: a couple of breaks in that game. It was really
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: glad to see JP get back on track. Twelve points,
• 9:23
  Speaker 4: I think at a couple of threes, nine rebounds, so
• 9:26
  Speaker 4: he was a factor.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: He was a big factor in that game. So you
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: got to win.
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: You're still steady at nine, ten or eleven seed ken
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: Palm still now has you had forty six, so you're fine.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: You know you need her to win. You gotta win.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Okay, it was a little bit shaky at the end,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: but you got it. And now you catch a Texas
• 9:46
  Speaker 4: Tech team coming off a disappointing loss at TCU and
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: more than that later.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: So very nice, hoppy. Those are all very obvious, which
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: is exactly exactly why we do that segment.
• 9:58
  Speaker 2: I might take umbradge with his word got a break?
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you got a break. I mean
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: I think the official just lined up, did their job,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: called the game, Oh you got a break, foul on
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: then they called it col On West Virginia.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: They called it.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: There just weren't as many. Well, if there's a break,
• 10:15
  Speaker 2: just did their job.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: You know what. I went back and listened to the game.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You watched the game. I went back and listened to
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: the game. Yeah today, And it didn't hit me at
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: the moment, but Cincinnati's free throw shooting Dylan Mitchell missed two.
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: He's a poor free throw shooter. He's below fifty percent. Bendego,
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: there was a sequence where Bendego made one out of
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: two and a very short snippet later, maybe a possession
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: or two later, Mitchell misses two. And those are little
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: things that happened in the flight of a game, which
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: can take a lead from six to eight, make it
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: three possessions and then you're just climbing up that hill.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: But those are the things that determinate. Man, they have
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: got to be throwing up. They're looking at that final box.
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: They went two of seven. So one thing, you're screaming
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: your head off, going we only got seven file shots
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: and you only made two, which is similar to West
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: Virginia because in West Virginia's last six games prior to
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: last night, Mountaineers were shooting fifty nine percent from the
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: free throw line fifty nine percent. So despite the fact
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: that they're getting absolutely proportionately crushed by not getting enough shots,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: they weren't making the ones that they were getting. And
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: that's the Cincinnati story in this game.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so again not a break, you know what that was.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: That's one of the bottom twenty five teams in America
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: in free throw shooting percentage. In Cincinnati, they did what
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: they do, They missed free throws. What had not happened
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: in the previous seven games is opponents that were bad
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: free throw shooters weren't missing. TCU also one of the
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: worst twenty five teams. They made eighty six percent or
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: eighty eight percent, or whatever the heck they made. That
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: was the difference West Virginia. I actually have it. Seven
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: previous seven games. West Virginia was sixty one percent from
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: the line. Its opponents were eighty one percent. In those
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: seven games I mentioned, West Virginia had scored forty seven
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: points at the line compared to one hundred and one
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: for its opponents in the previous seven. And this flipped.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: You were plus ten points at the free throw line
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: in a game that came down to three points should
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: have been four points. You think that stuff matters, hop
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: You wonder why I get on here and scream about
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: that stuff matters. Here's the other thing. West Virginia's been
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: called for more thousan than its opponent in every single
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: road game. It's only been called for more thousand its
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: opponents in half of its home games. So that matters
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: as well. West Virginia was home. I really did not,
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: just because West Virginia came out on the right side
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: of those numbers. I thought that game was pretty well officiated.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe a couple misses here there, but we say that
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: all the time. There are those things. I thought stuff
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: that impeded play got called pretty correctly for the most part.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: I thought review wise, they probably were on it as
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: well as you could be on it based on what
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: you were seeing. Those are pretty well officiated game.
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: What do you think Texas Tech is saying after going
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: to to TCU and going five of eight from the
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: free throw line and TCU goes fifteen of twenty two.
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I had TCU.
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: I know it is kind of wild, and we look
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: at it from the West Virginia perspective where it's been
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: extreme against West Virginia. Last night it was extremely fortunate
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: for West Virginia. But that just doesn't happen in West
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Virginia games. If you start flipping through box scores on
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: a regular basis, I mean lots of times, there is
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: not a whole lot of symmetry. I think everyone would
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: be content if there was symmetry. Pretty even numbers on attempts.
• 13:34
  Speaker 1: But for whatever reasons, it doesn't happen like that. And
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: when you have a night where you only take seven
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: of them, it makes you lose your mind.
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: West Virginia had thirty one shots at the rim or
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: in the paint. They had twenty two shots at the rim.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: This game really probably should have been a double digit win.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: West Virginia missed a lot of shots right at the rim.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: In fact, they were just eleven of twenty two in
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: those sense, but twenty two shots at the rim. Cincinnata
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: just had nine shots.
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: At the rim.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: So when I give you those numbers, that's always one
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: that you would think. If I just gave you those
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: hoppy you would say, I'm guessing West Virginia shot more
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: free throws, right they did. Those numbers played out. My
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: point on the previous seven games for the most part
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: is those numbers haven't bared out. West Virginia has had
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: those more shots in the rimm or in the paint
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: where there's contact. Didn't get the free throws. They got
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: it last night, and you took advantage of it. You
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: went to the line and made shots. I thought that
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: was was massive. And here's the other thing, Javon is
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: just really, really good, and I think it can't be
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: understated that you won that game last night, going about
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: sixteen minutes of game time without Javon getting a point.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: He was fallen coming off a screen. Dan Skillings fell
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: on him, not intentionally, but got hung up in the screen,
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: fell on the back of Javan's leg and Javon felt
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: the contact went up for the shot. No call, And
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: Jevon was noticeably limping after that, And when a big
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: stretch where he wasn't the same, He couldn't cut, he
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: couldn't explode, he wasn't the same offensive player, and you
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: found a way to bridge that, stay in the game
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: and keep it close enough that then at the end
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: and we identified it on the radio broadcast, it was
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: time for him to take over. And he either just
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: sucked it up or fought through the pain and just
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: said we're clearing out, I'm taking the ball, and I'm
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: going to close this game out.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: They probably they probably game a couple of aspirin at halftime,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: don't you think to give.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: A couple Yeah, ibuprofen probably kicked in a.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: Couple two ibuprofen probably off. He went to the races there,
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: but you're right, he started to cut again.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there was also a stretch where not just Javon,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: but nobody was scoring long chunks.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: Stretch long chunk and you went in that chunk. There
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: was a seventeen minute gap of game time where you
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: didn't hit a three, which is usually the death knell
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: for West Virginia, and it found a way to keep
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: it close, and then it was a gutty win. And
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: I'll say here's another thing. I'll say it, guys, you've
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: got an elite coach that does x's and o's here
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: he just We've been saying it since June. You got
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: an elite X and O guy, and he gets great
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: looks and he runs that offense and he's able to
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: do some things. And at the end when they when
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: they had the advantage and put a two man game
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: in play with Javon, they can't They cannot guard him.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: There isn't anybody in the league that can guard him
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: face up in a two man game. And Javon took
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: that game over number one, number two. And I'll get
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: into some of these numbers and spreads on stats, but
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: the way West Virginia's managed and massaged and flipped its
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: offense over the last seven games. Is a real testament
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: to the x's and oh's and to the ability for
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: these guys to execute and doing things differently, not just
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: relying on threes, but bringing the defense out and then
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: just backdoor on the heck out of you. And when
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Darren makes those sets with Javon, and you know they're
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: going to overplay, and they run a Jonathan power a
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: Toby along the baseline and try and cut him back door,
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: and if it's there, you got to lay up. And
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: if it's not, he runs all the way through and
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: takes his defender with him and it opens that side
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: of the floor and they're overplaying Javon and they don't
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: realize they don't have help defenders behind him, and Javon
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: cuts and goes back door and you hit him for
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: a pass. They did that like three times last night.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It's there.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: So the the X and O acumen here that you
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: bring into every game has really been big to watch.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: Franny Furschila, who was in for the game you alluded
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: to him, wrote a tweet afterward said that Darren was
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: a young John Beeline. Where there's play creativity, there's a
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: lot of similarities.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: Welcome a board friend.
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there's a lot of similarities into basically you're playing
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: basketball right, you're taking number advantages and you're working. I thought,
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: if you go back to the postgame interviews, Amani Hansbury
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: did a pretty nice job of detailing exactly what they're
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: looking at on the reads. Talked about front side pressure,
• 17:34
  Speaker 1: backside pressure, what's going to be there, what's not going
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to be there. So like they've got these guys wired
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: in too exactly how we want to play that. Then
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: it ultimately comes down to making shots. But they're getting shots,
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: and as a staff, all you can do is put
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: your guys in position to get the ball up and
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: get good looks. Basketball is basketball. Some night you're going
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: to make, some night you're not going to make. But
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: they're doing a fantastic job of getting looks.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: The way they've transformed sincere Harris and his ability to
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: accept the role for the most part and get to
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: the basket last night, he's become a threat offensively in
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: getting it to the basket, which he can do and
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: not standing out around the three point line where teams
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: are sagging off him. That's that's been huge And while
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: we're here, and why you mentioned it. We've got to
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: talk about Amani Hansbury. He flipped the game, guys, he
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: flat flipped the game and took it over and was
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: absolutely elite down the stretch in the finals. Six thirteen.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: You think we give him our man of the match.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: He gets man of the match. I mean he was
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: great that he had an offensive rebound sincere drives in
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: misses a layup. Amani misses the tip in, but fights
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: and gets the rebound and kicks it out to JP,
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: who hits a three to make it forty seven to
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: forty six. And then you know this podcast, right, there's
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: no time limit.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: No, we're live though.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, here's what we're gonna do. Hop bear with me here,
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: we're going through this.
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: Got it listening, all right?
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: So that's its six thirteen.
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Is this spreads on stats?
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: It's not, but there are some numbers involved, but it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: not spreads on stats. So that's at six thirteen. JP
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: hits the three off the Amani offensive rebound, forty seven
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to forty six. Cincinnati come in the ensuing possession, Buck
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: is right up on him. Pressure defense causes problems. Gisel
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: James was so excited to get the ball out of
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: his hands and over the court. He forgot to advance
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: his body over the court. They get whistled for an
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: over and back. Javon goes to the basket. On the
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: ensuing possession, he's fouled, makes two forty eight to forty seven. Right, Yeah,
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: forty eight forty seven West Virginia. They were down one
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: after the JP three dayde Thomas has come back, comes
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: back the other way, misses a three. West Virginia comes
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: back the other way. Amani another offensive rebound, but javan
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: gets a shot blocked that goes the other way. Cincinnati
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: misses Amani on the ensuing possession, another offensive rebound, he's
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: fouled by Mandego, goes to the line, makes two free
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: throws that puts a lid on a nine to zero
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: run by West Virginia. Now they're up fifty to forty seven.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: James comes back and scores from Cincinnati. West Virginia comes
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: back the other way. Amani pick and pop drains a three.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: Fifty three to fifty. West Virginia go the other way.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Amani defensive rebound, come back the other way. In the
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: ensuing offensive possession. Amani with a kickout to JP for
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: another three.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: Fifty.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Go back the other way. That's where Amani fought those
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: two guys from Cincinnati for the defensive rebound. Ball goes
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: out of bounds, whistle West Virginia's ball. They go to
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: the review monitor, not enough to overturn, stays West Virginia's ball.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: They come back the other way. Amani gets a one
• 20:16
  Speaker 2: on one in the lane. He backs the defender down,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: scores the layup fifty eight to fifty. That's an unbelievable
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: run right there. What I say, three offensive rebounds, a
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: defensive rebound, two assists, a three.
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: And a layup. That's why he's the man of the
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: match ball game. He's got twenty four rebounds in the
• 20:31
  Speaker 1: last two games, thirteen. Last night he at eleven against Baylor.
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: And again he's an undersized he's certainly an undersized five.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: He's a power forward with no true when Andre's not
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: out there, not no true center. So yeah, absolutely, keep
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: in mind he's just a baby, he's a sophomore, and
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: happy for him. Happy for him. Three guys before the
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: game is brought to us by our friends at Gomart.

  Speaker 1: You ready for spreads on stats?
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah? Anything else to add?
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: I'll be anything just that that.
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: You really needed that one, obviously, and it would have
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: been devastating if you hadn't gotten it.
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Now you know you're you're in good shape. You're fine,
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: You're fine, got the win, Go on the road, take

  Speaker 3: your chances, come back home, get a couple more wins.
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: Holding holding it a ten seed on bracket.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Matrix legitimate ten or is it a nine plus song?
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: No, it's now tense like a ten point one. So
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you're a ten seed. That's as of yesterday, though that
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: doesn't count the win from last night. Does that bumpy
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: It probably doesn't bump you a full seed line, but
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: it might reduce it down into the nine. Still, if
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: you look across there, they're matrix there, you're in included
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: in every single bracket projection that they do. There's not
• 22:46
  Speaker 2: one that has you out right now. Now again, you
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: still need wins, but you're you're still hanging right there.
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: We're clipping off games, you're down the final two weeks
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: of the season. You're still solidly in the field.

• 22:55
  Speaker 1: Ken Palm has your finishing nine and eleven in the league.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: But he doesn't.
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: But he's got projected nine and eleven. But has you
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: with three more wins or dead as of the other day.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: I look right now, all right, let's do this thing.
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: So I check your numbers.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: We're really going to go inside. Now it's time for calculus.

• 24:45
  Speaker 4: Think about that though, Think about where this team is,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: and think about before the season began, if somebody had
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: said to you this is where this team will be
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: in late February without Tucker debrees, you wouldn't have U said,

  Speaker 2: On the man, we're still not talking about it enough.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: I know we've mentioned it almost every podcast. We're not
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: talking about it enough. It's an unbelievable job by this
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: staff and these players to be in this position with
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: two ricks remaining, with no Tucker. It's absolutely amazing. It
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: took a fifty three point shooter out of the lineup.
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: He was at forty eight percent from three when he
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: came out of lineup, coming off a game in which
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: he'd made eight threes against the top twenty five team.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: You took that out of the line and that's only
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: one thing he does, not that one hundred others that
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: he helps his team. Took him off, and you're still
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: pushing for an nca term. A bit simply remarkable. And
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: I know how they do Coach of the Year. I get,
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I understand all that. I also understand we're biased. I
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: understand all that. This is as good a coaching job
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: as there's been in the country this year.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: Do me a favor. Take these just put them over
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: to the other side. No, throw them over there. We're
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: hopey system. No killing me. I can't keep away.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Put them on the floor.
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: I'm not I'm not doing your bidding from Speaking of
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: coaching jobs, speaking of coaching jobs, Bill self has got
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: to be pulling his hair on. I mean, what is
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: happening with him? They got beat thirty the other turning
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: the ball over they are I mean in terms of Kansas,
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: I mean they'll still make the tournament. They're they're still
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: very good, but it's it's a disaster by Kansas standards, right,
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: think of this.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: They were preseason number one in the world. They weren't
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: preseason number one in the Big twelve. They were the
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: preseason number one team in the nation. They're going to
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: be ten and ten probably in conference play. It is
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: one of the great If West Virginia is one of
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: the great stories of this isn't supposed to happen. Kansas
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: is on the other side that wasn't supposed to happen.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: What they have the other night, the largest loss by
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: an AP ranked team in history, in the history of
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the world.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: You know, like thirty two? Is that what it was?
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Twenty two points?
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: Well?
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Also, do we need to have preseason polls anymore? I mean,
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: what are we doing?
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: How do you know?
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: It's always been a how do you know? How do
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: you know?
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: Those are absolutely meaningless at this point whatever. Don't care
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: about that. For the record, figured it out. I'm closing
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: the back over here, kurgaball with our own stuff. Figured
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: out cancers the record, what you're doing.
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: I just thought it's remark I think it's also we
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: also like stories.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, that's a story.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Although I would like them selfishly for Western dais present.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: Get your stuff together, Kansas.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: Get it together, get it together for you?
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: Right yeah, Because for the record, I've thrown you got
• 27:19
  Speaker 4: back into the peanut eminem.
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: I threw the bag away. I threw it on the floor.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Now what are you doing? We're doing the broadcast. I understand, Hoppy. Listen.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: I don't have it like you. I don't get up,
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: have a prune juice smoothie. Don't get me able to
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: have fresh fruit brought to me someone putting grapes of
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: them up. Don't have that. Haven't eaten all day. It's
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: two o'clock in the afternoon. I have any fault?
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: Is it that you haven't eaten all day? Whose fault
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: is it?
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's any fault, Hoppy. I had things
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know why you always have to blame somebody, curtual.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: You damn talk show hosts always attacking people. All right,
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: what do we got?
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Here's something that jumped out. We went through a bunch
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: of the key points right there, so that that's the
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: bull the numbers. But here's something that got me and
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: I dug into this because of that possession early in
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: the game, and we remarked about it on the broadcast.
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: It should be on instructional videos about moving the basketball
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: and making the extra pass that you hear a lot
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: about hoppy. You hear the extra pass, and you pass
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: up a good shot for a great shot. That happened
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: yesterday as West Virginia whipped it all the way around
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: the horn and ended in Tony was a Javon three.
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: That was the end result, I think was Javon three
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: opened from the right wing, knocked it down. It was
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: just a beautiful display.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: Beautiful basketball, really was.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: So I dug into the catch and shoot numbers for
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: West Virginia last night, and then I went back into
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: the Big twelve season. So they had sixteen catch and
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: shoot jumpers. That's what that was. You swing it around,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: you catch shoot. Ten of those were on guarded. Ten
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: of your sixteen were on guarded.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: Wow.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: So again, the more on guarded you get, the better
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: your chances of making those are. Right, You've had double
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: digit on guarded catch and shoots in four of the
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: last five games. Is it on guarded for the last
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: five games? Pretty good? Which is why when we come
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: in here we said, can there not be a couple
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: more wins in there. You were getting the looks you wanted.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: But here's what caught me. So double digit on guarded
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: catch and shoots in four the last five games. You
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: had double digit unguarded catch and shoots in only two
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: of the previous nine.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Big twelve games.
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: Okay, okay, So what has happened? I alluded to this
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: a little bit ago. Offense has adjusted the defenses. After
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: the start of the Big Twelve play after you're coming
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: off the Bahamas where you were killing people from three,
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: defenses started saying what okay, we were not gonna let
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: you stand out there and shoot right, And West Virginia
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: was in that fifty low fifty percentage mark of how
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: many threes you take as a percentage of your total shots,
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: and team said, show me you can put it on
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the ground, show me you can get buys, do something else.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: In West Virginia. The staff put it together and the players,
• 29:51
  Speaker 2: is that right? Is that right? Yeah, here's what we're
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: gonna do. Now, come on out, and now we're just
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: going to start back dooring you and we're going to
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: cut to the basket and get open. So his team
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: angel running West Virginia off the three point line, the
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: motion offense increased the back cuts, increased ball movement led
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: to more open looks. It's resulted in West Virginia having
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: double digit points off of cuts to the basket in
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: seven of its last eight games. Okay, prior to that,
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: West Virginia had only hit double digit points in a
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: game twice in eighteen games to start the season with
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: cuts to the baskets and feeds, so it was depending
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: on three pointers early and making them for success. The
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: defense adjusted, West Virginia adjusted. That's some really good coaching, right,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: they counter you, and you didn't just go, oh, well, okay,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: now we're done. That's all we can do. Adjusted said, fine,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: we'll start cutting to the basket too, and what are
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: those open layups? Then create revert back to now you've
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: got some open threes. So I just that struck me
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: as some really interesting numbers there. If you want the
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: cat and mouse game that goes on at a really
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: high level with really high coaches across this league. Right,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: everybody's getting paid a lot of money to beat you,
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: and there's a lot of these guys that really know
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: what they're doing, and that's kind of the cat and
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: mouse game that goes.
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: On you're at Calculus level now because teams are seeing
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: each other. For example, last night Cincinnati, that was the
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: second time, right, So you've seen what they want to do,
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: they've seen what you want to do. Now you really
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: have to go digging in there. Yeah, because otherwise, as
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Darren said postgame last night, otherwise people are just sitting
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: on your stuff. They know exactly where it's going. And
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: if you don't modify this time of the year, you
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: just have horrific looking possessions because they blow everything up.
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I thought last night again West Virginia held
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: Cincinnati's lob game in check. It was almost a replay
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: of the first game. None in the first half of
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: either meeting, two in the second half of both meetings,
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: so it's almost identical. Western. He did a really good
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: job eliminating that. Wester Ronini did a good job on
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Jizsel James last night. You didn't hold into zero points,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: which would have been virtually impossible given the heater he
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: was on. He was on a historic heater. It's like
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: the second ESPN had this graphic. Second player in NCAA
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: history to average twenty four or more points a game
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: while shooting fifty five percent from the field over a
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: four game stretch which he had been in. I mean,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: he'd been on a historic run, and West Virginia again
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: made it difficult on him last night.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: Well, sinceir Harris largely large he goes six for twenty,
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: one for eight and that took him twenty shots to
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: get thirteen points. Prior to last night, he had played
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: West Virginia four times, had never had a double figure game.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: So I don't think he's going to get any mountaineer
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: gear at any time soon. I don't think he likes
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: the world champion mountaineers.
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: Sincere did a really nice job. And speaking of that
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: West Virginia defense, here's a catch and shoot number. Cincinnata
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: had thirteen catch and shoots, only four of them were unguarded.
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: This continues to be we say you are which you
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: are by this time of year. This is an elite
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: defensive team in West Virginia and they make it difficult
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: on teams to shoot, and they just don't leave you
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: open shots very often. Four on guarded catch and shoots
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: turned into just six points. Really well done. Yeah that's
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: the bulk coming. Yeah, pretty good, pretty good, pretty interesting stuff,
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: huh it is?
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: And especially since how many times when you're watching games,
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: all games, when the shot clock is winding down and
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: you see that the offense doesn't have anything, the defense doesn't.
• 33:17
  Speaker 4: It just there's nothing there, right, and someone does a
• 33:19
  Speaker 4: desperation shot. And I think West Virginia uses the clock
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: really well when they want to run clock and you think, no,
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: they're they're working on something here. It's not just desperate
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: or working on something and get a good shot late
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: in the clock. And also, you know, the longer you
• 33:36
  Speaker 4: can control the ball and make the extra passes, the
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: defense might make a mistakes.
• 33:40
  Speaker 3: Not just about you make a mistake, defense might make
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: a mistake. Right.
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Well, that's one of the core tenets here is running
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: clock because you're doing two things. One, yes, what you're saying,
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: make the other team guard you for longer, chances of
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: a breakdown increase, and number two, just shortening the game.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: You just when you struggle to score at times, as
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: West Virginia does, you want fewer possessions. You're really good
• 33:58
  Speaker 2: defensive team, so shrink those possessions. Theoretically, keep that game
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: close and take it at the end. We outlined against
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: Baylor hop last broadcast, how many points West Virginia got
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: in the final four seconds of the shot clock. This
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: was I didn't say it on air, but I kept
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: thinking it, and man, I was nervous, and I'll say
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: it now. That was one of those that had the
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: look based on what Cincinnati was doing, and Darren had
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: talked about this. West Virginia made a lot of shots
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: late in shot clock at Cincinnati, and it helps you
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: get the win. That was the reverse last night. I
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: don't know how you escape given what they did. The
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: number in my super fancy analytic machine I don't think
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: was right. I had down they made five shots in
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: the final four seconds of the shot clock last night.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: That's not what the numbers showed me. But I was
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: logging that during the game. I mean they were banking
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: in stuff. They were making a lot in the final
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: final few seconds, and that's generally a sign that you're
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: not going to get the win. So another put that
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: in the column of things that West Virginia did and
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: was gritty and gutty about that usually ends up the
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: other way.
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: Prisoner of recency bias here, But that to me is
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: the biggest game this year. That looked like a loss.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: But you'll want now there are a lot of those
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: where you look at the numbers midway through the second
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: half and you go like, this isn't happening. And last
• 35:16
  Speaker 1: night we came back out of a break it was
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: like eleven minutes, I want to say, and the numbers
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: were saying you're not gonna win, you're getting out shot,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: you're not guarding. Just were some certain numbers that went
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: like these do not look good, and so they were
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: able to despite those numbers. So to me, that's why
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: this this is a really really important win.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: For that which again hope you said earlier. The break's
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: usually even outer you hope they come at least close.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: And I think that this was probably one of those.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: There's been some other games where we've come in here
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: and said, can you believe the numbers? And you got
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: a loss on that? What are you talking about? Has
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: that a loss? This was one you probably in some
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: of the categories, But here's one. West Virginia remains undefeated
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: when it out rebounds the opponent. That's like nine to
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: oh eight, No this season nine going last night, That's
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: what Darren said, But I don't know that he had
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: that right. I thought it was a couple less, but
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: what regardless, it's you're undefeated when you out rebound the opponent,
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: and you did last night.
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: That's a good bell Weather. Jonathan Paul nine rebounds.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: In back to back games, So well done by him.
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: He's missed some shots here in the last couple of games,
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: but finding a ways to do some other things that
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: matter and help your team win. He certainly did that.
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: But he made a couple last night too, he did.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: So big ones. Yeah, big ones. This offense is different here.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: This can go on your obvious observations. This offense is
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: different and better. If Amani gets you a couple and
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: JP gets a couple, it just changes the entire look.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Of the thing. Sure it's not one on four.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: And by the way, one of my favorite sets is
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: becoming Javan to the right side, right wing. You try
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: and double trap him, Amani picks and pop Pit sets
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: the screen, then pops over mid top of the key
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: and Javan gives the right handed behind the back pass
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: to Amani and then you make a three. That's becoming
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: my favorite favorite play of the year.
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't see the smooth You don't see the
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: behind the back pass. Often one two when you do
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: it normally doesn't lead to a basket, right, But when
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: you get a behind the back pass that leads to
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: a hoop, that's like really good stuff.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: You said it last night at one point just talked
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: about just how Javon's ice, and it just is you
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: can run everybody at him. He's not gonna get hurried.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: He's not going to make a dumb decision. He's just
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: going to be like, all right, whatever you want to
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: run about, I'll make the play when I'm ready to
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: make the play. I don't care what you're doing. He's
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: throwing it behind the back pass out in the open
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: floor off a trap. It's not it's not a fast
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: break copy where there's nobody there, and I'm gonna give
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: you a little azle dazzle behind him. He's got a trap.
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: He's got two big dudes. I just gotta throw behind
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: the back here here.
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Ice.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: He's one of the one of the reasons he's so
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: successful is that he's in constant motion right when he
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: has the ball, He's not He does not give those
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: even on the door, he does not give those guys
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: a very good shot at him because he's always moving,
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: always moving.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: He's got got great feet and the.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Old and the ultimate compliment to guy point guards of
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: guys that had the ball as what they control the game.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: He controls the game about as anybody, as well as
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: anybody I can remember nationally. I'm not just talking about here.
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: He just is on his schedule. You'll adjust to his schedule.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: He will not be bent to what you want him
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: to do.
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so last night I said, hop, I said he
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: has absolutely zero timidity, which yeah, he's And you could
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: also say it this way. He's unflappable. And I love
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: I love athletes or I guess people in general that
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: are unflappable despite what's at them. I e. Last night,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: you talk about a trap in the corner second half
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: near the West Virginia bench, and I'm talking about large
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: human beings trapping him, including you know, a ziz Bendego
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: who's seven feet tall, and like the normal thing you
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: see is people just crumble when they're doubled like that,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: and they they basically turn like a turtle. They put
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: everything inside, they stick their head down into their neck
• 39:02
  Speaker 1: and they'd like, no, my guy, he just like sticks
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: his face his chin through the one crack of crevice
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: of light, sticks it through there and he finds Jonathan
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Powell and he bounces it to him on the other
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: side of the basket. He lays it up and.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: In We had the same angle as Javon did, and
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I didn't see Powell. No, you couldn't see him happy
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: where Javan was like right in front. We couldn't see Powell, Like,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: where's he throwing the ball? Oh there's Jonathan for a lamp?
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: How do you get it through there?
• 39:29
  Speaker 3: So you think I think Rich could use him in
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: the swat?
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, go back to a couple of guys.
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Dashaun Butler was like that. He was unflappable. You never
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: saw fear in his face. Joe Missoula was unflappable. Joe
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: never got he never Joe never looked weirded out right.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: But there are.
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: Others you could see it on their face. They get
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: really uncomfortable and they wither. And I'm not saying that's
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: a bad thing. I'm saying those that don't, that's kind
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: of a super natural thing because they go against what
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: normal is and that's what makes them different.
• 40:05
  Speaker 2: The part that kicks him into a rare air is
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: just he has the ball sadarn much. He just he's
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: the ball handler, right, he has got it in his
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: hands and he's just getting guys fun. So when he
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: doesn't stick in there and make that pass. He also
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: I love when he drives in there and they start trapping,
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: he starts pulling it back on him, like all right,
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: come on, here we go, come on, back it up
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: with me, come on, stay with me. Yeah, having a year, man.
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: I know I keep saying that the TV broadcast finally again,
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: Welcome those guys, do a great job. Welcome to the
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Javon Small fan club. This podcast has been on that
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: for a long long time. We've been how many times
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: we said player of the Year, player of the Year candidate.
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: I get it.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I know he's not gonna win the national thing. I
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: know he's probably not gonna win the Big Twelve. Because
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: West Virgini's record, he should absolutely be getting votes. He'll
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: be a unanimous selection all Big Twelve. And if he's not,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: you should lose.
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: Your vote, absolutely and should be should.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Get votes for Player of the Year. He has been unbelievable.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: There's not one coach that has played against him that
• 41:00
  Speaker 1: wouldn't tell you like, who what the heck? So that's
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: the ultimate have a year, buddy, Yeah, that's the heavy year.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law. If you or someone that
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: you know is in need of help when it comes
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: to filing for Social Security disability, these are the folks
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: that you absolutely owe yourself to give them a cull.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: Doesn't cost you a single cent to present to them
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: what you have. But the key when you file these
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: cases and put this together is that you've got to
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: have someone right from the very start with you. Because
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: only twelve percent of people that file a Social Security
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: compensation claim, only twelve percent get approval on their first try.
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: You need someone that does it all of the time,
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: and these folks are those folks Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: They're nationwide, but they're based and founded here in the
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: state of West Virginia. So if something has really, really
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: badly happened which has taken you out and you need help,
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: whether that might be a heart attack or back issues
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: or things that take you away from being able to work,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: and you need a Social Security disability claim, go to
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law. They do it every single day.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: In forty eight of our fifty states. I don't know
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: which two they're not in, but they'll be there soon.
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: But they'll be there soon. All right, what do we
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: we play Texas Tech next? Is that your preview?
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech yees Saturday. I'm just going to give you
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: some highlights here in this one. You were close to
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: an all time great sandwich spot look ahead spot, Yeah, right.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: Had Texas Tech beaten TCU this week, they'd be coming
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: home playing West Virginia with Houston on deck. The rematch
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: against Houston and Welch was really contentious game, remember that.
• 43:00
  Speaker 1: Sure, that was what the great game. That was the
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: greatest game in the league so far.
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: The JT Toppin gets kicked out early for a play.
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: Grant McCaslin goes absolutely bananas, and I don't blame him.
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: He gets tossed and Texas Tech hangs on to win
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: that game at Houston. So they have Houston on deck
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: two days forty eight hours after playing West Virginia. That
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: would have been a great spot, Hobey. I would have
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: been going into the say, listen, Texas Tech's outstanding, maybe
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: the best team in this league. But geez, you were
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: you were gifted the spot here maybe they get them
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: looking past you. I don't think they look past I
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: think that loss refocused Texas Tech. So you're gonna get
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: a really good team. Here's what this matchup is. This
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: is one of the elite offensive teams in the country
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: against one of the elite defensive teams in America in
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: West Virginia. So Texas Tech is eleventh in offensive efficiency nationally.
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: They're getting a West Virginia defense that's seventeenth nationally. In defense.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: You're getting the eighteenth best three point shooting team in
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech against a West Virginia defense that is seventh
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: nationally in opponent field goal percentage. So can West Virginia
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: limit Texas Tech first and foremost, It's been hard to
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: do that. They are really really good offensively. The flip
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: side is it's not like Texas Tech doesn't play defense.
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: This is a top thirty five defensive team in Texas Tech.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: They've got everything to want. I mean, this is a
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: legit Final Four contender here. They can score an elite level,
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: they can guard, and they've got multiple players that can
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: hurt you. This is going to be a challenge to
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: score and get points here and get out of there
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: with a win.
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: Probably have two NBA guys right Topping and Williams.
• 44:24
  Speaker 4: Probably And what do we always say, Can I give
• 44:27
  Speaker 4: you a stat that maybe.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: Villain's pretty good as well?
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, go ahead, sure, absolutely.
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: That this is up in Brad's territory. But it's only one,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: a one off.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: But in that loss to TCU, again the difference was
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: at the fel one, but Texas Tech had thirteen turnovers
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: that led to seventeen points. So West Virginia's defense can
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: you create You got to get points some points off turnovers? Right,
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: m Can you get something there?
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an avorition because they don't turn it over
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: a whole lot normally.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: So that was just a one off.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: It could be defense travels. That's what you're banking on.
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: Defense travels. You gotta guard, you gotta guard. You're right,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: it's not it could have been so much better situationally,
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: if they had lost a TCU, it's still going to
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: be p oed. They're mad they lost, and so yeah,
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: it it diffuses the potential of them looking ahead to
• 45:16
  Speaker 1: the Houston game. But still you go in there and
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: you just take oh wait.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: You take your shot, and it's an early start. It's
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: an eleven am local. Can that maybe lower the temperature
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: of the crowd, Right, it's eleven am.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: Start twelve, I think, isn't it one o'clock here?
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's one o'clock.
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's right.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, twelve twelve local Central Eastern Pacific? Whatever, what time?
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: Whatever it is, where are we going?
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: It's still What was the deal with the with the
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: time last night?
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Excuse me?
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: It was it was listed as a six o'clock eastern two. No,
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: it wasn't six o'clock.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: If you were in the Central time, it would have
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: showed up as six if you were looking at on
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: a phone.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: So he's in the Central times. See, there's a lot
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: of confusion. Yeah, so the phone adjusts on its own
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: to Central time. Kirchwall didn't adjut himself that he's Central time.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: It does create confusion. I get it off.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I understand he's got six watches on.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Just put et after just put it in et.
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: Wasn't there something and hoppy? You don't follow it anymore
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: since you're retired. But I think something in the legislature
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: where they're trying to make West Virginia time like like
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: not change the clocks I just saw that this morning.
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: I think I think the legislation.
• 46:19
  Speaker 4: I think what they're doing is that they're going back
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: to Sundial is what I understand they're doing in West Virginia.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: Well whatever. A lot of things going on there, A
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: lot of things going on there.
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: But anyway, big challenge this weekend. Go get it, stay hot,
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: keep coming.
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, three guys before the game is brought to us
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: by the way last night, key moment of the game
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: and uh, pressures on stresses on teams are hot, right,
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: energy's wearing down. Mountaineers take time out. I could have sworn,
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: not sure that there was a Comas Business Systems one
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: of those new water machines that I was talking about
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: out there, and they were and they were hydrating the mountaineers.

  Speaker 2: Tickets on the floor right for women's games.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we give we give them away occasionally to folks,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: and so these folks won the tickets. They came up
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: to the women's game. We grabbed a few friends to
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: tag along Girl's Day who made sure to fill up
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: on gas and snacks at Gomart in honor of you guys.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: The girls giggled and squealed through the day, having the
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: quote best day ever. Take a look at some of
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: these picks here, uh, these guys had a big time.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: So there we are at the ball contest and you there,
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: he goes, look how good those seats are?
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: Those seats are the floor seats. So she had a
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: big time there. That's pretty good. And then they got oh,
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: oh Kyle Watson there. Yeah, she's a great player, she's
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: a eight players they got. The guy got in there
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: and got a little looks like an autograph ball there
• 51:05
  Speaker 1: and uh, just a big time had by all.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: Is that Jordan Harris signing?
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: My gosh, is she good? Yea, Oh, my gosh, it's
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: she good, fun to watch, tons tons of funds to watch.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: And I think there was one more.
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well they got them out of here there, very good. Yeah,
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: that's a big day.
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Texter time to fire everyone at both the
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: Big twelve and ACC for utter incompetence. Let me be
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: in charge. He's mad at the SEC and the Big
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: ten for trying to make this move. Based on Ross
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: Dellinger's article, he says, We're going to create our own
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: league and our own playoffs, separate from the NCAA and
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: everyone else. Few new rules, you don't have to go
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: to class. This is his new league. So This is
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: how you're going to recruit against the big ten in
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: the SEC. You come to our league and play. You
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: don't have to go to class. All you have to
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: do is play your sport and get ready to be
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: a pro. We'll have pro, we'll have pro contract. It's
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: no portal. Every player gets a no trade clause. Teens
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: who choose to stay close to home shouldn't have to
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: worry about being traded across the country. We got no
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: eligibility cap. If you don't get drafted, you just keep
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: playing college sports forever. I like that. Basically, you just
• 52:15
  Speaker 1: do a bunch of drastic stuff that the big ten
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: in the SEC would never do. That way, you get
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: the best talent, fewer financial resources than your competitors. You
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: get the best talent, and the viewers will followed. I
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: realized this would be a long shot, but hell, at
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: least try something. The Big twelve and the ACC got
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: to get told to sit in the corner and be quiet,
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: and they did utter incompetence signed by JD in the
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: Southern coal fields. He's mad, he not happy like some
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: of your ideas there this person. Remember I had a
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: situation last show. I told someone just used chat GPT
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: to condense their message. He wrote in keeping this at
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: a minimum, so I won't be chat gpted, but I
• 52:55
  Speaker 1: hope Tony's beneficient and gracious memory. Member is a bad
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: poem from a certain expatriot fellow. And there's two tickets
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: in Lubbock available for Andy and Amarillo. So I have
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: no idea what the heck he's talking about, but it
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: looks like he's asking me for two tickets at tech.
• 53:15
  Speaker 1: Is that what your read is?
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: That's what That's how I would interpret that.
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, Andy and Amarillo. I don't know what
• 53:24
  Speaker 1: to do there, Texter, Chiao Amichi. I'm getting some supplies
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: together to take down to southern West Virginia this Friday,
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Grazia Dino in Morgantown. And so what's going on is
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: the folks at Titan Roofing, among others, they are collecting
• 53:41
  Speaker 1: items for donations to folks in southern West Virginia who
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: have been taken, you know, through just tremendous bad circumstances
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: with that flooding last weekend. And this particular event is
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: going to take place at the Suncrest Town Center Friday,
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: and they're asking for all kinds of types of supplies.
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: So if you're in our listening Morgantown based area and
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: it's before Friday, they're collecting that, then they're going to
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: drive it down, So that would be great.
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: Really graphic pictures, heartbreaking pictures. Unbelievable WV Metro news website
• 54:25
  Speaker 4: that Jeff Jenkins and Chris Lawrence have gotten on trips
• 54:28
  Speaker 4: down there to Mingo mcdalell County. Really bad situation. West
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: Virginians once again pulling together to help each other.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: Out Texas as I looked at Ken Palm's stats for
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: West Virginia over the last twenty years. Surprisingly, many of
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: Huggins's teams had better offensive metrics than defensive numbers due
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: to offensive rebound rate, But the twenty twenty team, when
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: COVID started like twenty five this year, had a much
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: better defensive rating than offensive. I think that team would
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: have made the tournament, but it did lose six of
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: seven and five February and was a bubble before beating
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: Baylor in March. Hopefully we can repeat again and not
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: be stressed out on selection Sunday. Also, he adds, I
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: know you won't believe this, but I'm pretty sure that
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: West Virginia is winless this season. When either of you
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: two say that coach Devrees is incredulous during your radio broadcast.
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: HM, didn't we say it last night?
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: Correlation?
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not causation. I don't think there's causation.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: I think oftentimes if we say he's incredulous, it's because
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: of screwation. I think that's that's when we normally, that's
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: when we normally bring it up.
• 55:40
  Speaker 4: Hey, three guys, there is a there is a causation there, right,
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: Like scuation, Yeah, equals the coach being very upset.
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if Darren's all lit up, chances are you getting
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: the short end of the whistle there. This next texter
• 55:57

• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: broke loose. Wow is all that I can say. I
• 1:01:59

• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: Those guys went seven and a half. I met the
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: two two boys and their dad before the game. They
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: had just driven up from Princeton, that's three and a
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: half and I said to him, I said, you guys
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: staying overnight? You're going He goes, no, we're going back. Wow. Man,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: that's that's incredible dedication. Incredible dedication. Uh.
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 3: The crowds like ten, ten something.
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: It listed it at ten. It wasn't ten. Okay, that's
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: tickets sold. But now it wasn't great. It wasn't great. Man,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: I've been thinking about that too. I don't know what
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: you do. I don't know what you do. I mean,
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I completely get why. Right, there was early talk of
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: significant bad weather, snow stuff. It's cold as heck. I
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: get all of that. It's midweek, it's hard for people
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: to get there. I don't know, but I do know
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: this that it would be tremendous if we could fill
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: that thing up. So I got a stupid thought, Okay,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: won't be the won't be the last. Just let me
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: run by you really quick.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 2: It's usually don't work well I know. I mean, you've
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: got a zero and four hundred. It doesn't work.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, So here comes okay, and this will get this
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 1: will get people mad over at the ticket office. Hell
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: with it.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: I'm having an m and sit back. I'm not happy
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: you handle it.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 1: So here's okay. So here's the deal. Just follow me though.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: So people they're listing ten thousand because those are season
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: tickets sold and all that kind of stuff. Right, So
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: if you know you're not going to go to the game.
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: Do you think with technology nowadays, you could just put
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: them to some kind of you send them back in
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: through a hopper and then people can take them that
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: will use them. And I know that's not a new concept,
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 1: but is there a better way to do that? Just
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: to fill seats? It's not anymore.
• 1:04:20

• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: They have their reasons and I totally get that. I'm

• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: go can get thekets and just come and use those. See,

  Speaker 1: the players high five their coaching staff and then went
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 1: to the scorers table to fist bump the three referees.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: They never came across mid court to shake our waiting
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: coach's hand. Can't help thinking this may be a possible
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 1: reason why the other team gets all the fouls called
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 1: their way, just saying signed by Donna, so she thinks

• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: new multi million dollar facility, they might be able to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: afford some of those long handled squeegee mops instead of
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 1: having some kids out there with towels. About that o'connie

  Speaker 1: slip bazaarre. It was that was they were on.

  Speaker 3: court every time there was a stop age you play.
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 3: In fact, sometimes the play was still going on.

• 1:09:00
  Speaker 1: off season, they could bring those brooms out right, they
