  Speaker 2: from Kindley CPA group.

  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. It was a long trip. It seemed
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: shorter than the Houston, Colorado did it to me?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: It did because you weren't traveling as far and we stayed.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: An extra day. Yeah, this one we were gone five nights,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: six days.
• 2:21

• 2:24
  Speaker 2: low price of three hundred ninety nine dollars.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: So that's the third time I've been to Utah. That's
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: a great state. You like it, right, That's that's just
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: like you turn your head and it's like you're inside
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: of a living postcard.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: It's beautiful.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: Those mountains are unbelievable.
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: I thought it felt longer than the Houston, Colorado trip.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I didn't.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: So he stayed in the same area Like that other
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: one broke up the trip. This one felt like you
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: just hopped on a bus. You were still in the
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: same place. Beautiful area, though, beautiful.
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: That's gorgeous. You guys came back one in one. Take
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: that all day. Got a win.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's why it doesn't like anything can happen after that,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Like you get a win, it's like, so who can Okay,
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: well you take that West Virginia's four big twelve road winds. Now,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: that is more road winds for the mountaineers than the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: last three years combined.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: Well, I got some other stats on that too. We
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: don't have to do it now, but I got some
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: other things on that.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you do. Hapi's obvious observations are coming up,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: brought to us by absolutely no one. Obviously, Brad's stats
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: as well, brought to us by conly CPA group. We're
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: going to recap Utah, we're going to preview UCF and
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: there are still many many scenarios that are in play
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: in regard to West Virginia getting the bye to go
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: into the Big Twelve tournament, trying not to play on Tuesday.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: At this moment as we record, it looks like for
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: that to happen. And there's a bunch of different things,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: but basically this is what has to happen. West Virginia
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: has to beat UCF that's given. Arizona has to beat
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Kansas at Kansas.
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Good chance of that.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Iowa State has to beat Kansas State at Kansas State.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: If those three things happen, WVU will buy Tuesday play Wednesday.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: If not, the world champion Mountaineers will play on Tuesday.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Tony, think about this. You look at these Big Twelve standings,
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, Houston, Texas Tech, Arizona BYU, Iowa State.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: We know about them. Baylor ten wins, Kansas ten wins,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: TCU nine wins, Kansas State nine wins, West Virginia nine wins.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: You could have you could have five teams at ten
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: and ten.
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: It's all bunched up.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, five teams at ten and ten.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: Senator top of the day to you, there's six teams
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: within two wins of each other in those conference standings. Yeah,
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: that's what we've talked about the depth of this this league, and.
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: You've seen that play out all year.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Eight within three wins of each other.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: That is a fine looking quarters.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: Up, pretty well, fine looking fill.
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: It's a gorgeous one. It's a nice one.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: And Houston just I mean eighteen and one in the league.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: I mean that were just dominant beat Kansas. I watched
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: said game beat Kansas.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Well, what surprised me, given the depth of this league
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: that there's a four game gap between Houston and Texas
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Tech and Arizona and second. I did not We've watched
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: a lot of basketball. Houston's excellent. Yeah, I did not
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: think there was a four game gap between first and
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: second in this league. And I wouldn't have cared a
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: who you took as the first place team. That really
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: surprised me. I give them a lot of credit. Finally,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: way to only lose one conference game.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and their loss was at home to Texas Tech
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: in that very controversial game where Grant McCaslin and J. T.
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: Topping got ejected early in the in the Tech Texters
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: came back there.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, what would be the odds, you know, four
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: months ago if we said a team will win every
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: road game in this league. Yeah, no, you wouldn't. You wouldn't,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: wouldn't take it, wouldn't take it.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: And West Virginia as a thirteen place preseason pick potentially
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: could finish as the eight.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: That's good.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: All right, let's jump in. Here's hoppies obvious observations. And
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: he said a lot of time to think about these
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: since he's been on that home confinement.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, a couple of things. One is that BYU
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and I know that was like last year now, I
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: mean a long time ago.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: Is that that?
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: That's the kind of thing you've run into a couple
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: of times this year, Brad, where you started out okay,
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: but then they made shots and you didn't. At one point,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: I think into the first half, begin of the second half,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: they made eighteen straight points. West Virginia's not thirty three percent.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Javan was limited and you're at BYU and you gotta
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: beat The big thing was what would happen after that?
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: And go to Utah and you know you win the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: game seventy one sixty nine, and that's that's a win, man,
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: that's a major win. You started started slow in that game,
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: but you finished Strong scored the last seven points in
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the game. The game was tied at fifty eight, and
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: then West Virginia had at one point. West Virginia scored
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: in three straight possessions, So you know, good performance coming
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: off that loss and on the road to win, to
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: win that game.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: And then I did this.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I'll go ahead with this, is that West Virginia is
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: on the brink and we'll talk about the UCF game
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: of winning nineteen regular season games.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Okay, you're at eighteen, winning nineteen. I think about this.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Now you're judged these days what not so much by
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: regular season wins, but by tournament, tournament play, how deep
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: you go, all those kinds of things. But think about this, guys,
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: West Virginia, if they win started, we have nineteen regular
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: season wins last season. And I'm just talking about regular
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: season wins last year. Regular season they had nine season
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: before they had eighteen twenty one, twenty two, they had fifteen,
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty one, they had eighteen, nineteen and twenty, they
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: had nineteen twenty eighteen twenty nineteen, they had fourteen and
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: before that for three or four years was really a
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: hot run by Huggins. You're winning twenty two, twenty four
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: to twenty four, twenty three winsuring regular season. It was
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: a great run during the Huggins era, but for the one, two, three, four,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: five six For the last seven years, Brad, for the
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: last seven years, only once have you won nineteen regular
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: season games, and you got a great chance to do
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: that Saturday. Think about that.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Think about that.
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: Those are great numbers, all while losing your best player, right,
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: that's the other caveat that I think has come into that.
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: And I think those numbers back up, Tony, what you
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: and I have said all year. This is as good
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: a coaching job as you can remember this that Darren
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: and this staff and I always I always hesitate to
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: say that because when you say it's a great coaching
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: job that I don't mean to take that away from
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: the players either, because I think everybody's involved in this.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: This has been outstanding x and owing. It's been outstanding
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: culture building, and I give a lot of credit to
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: these players for buying into it going after it. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: that was a hard game.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Guys.
• 8:44
  Speaker 4: We'll get in this morning we talk Youtah specifically. Again,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: that was a lot. Tony and I weren't doing anything.
• 8:49
  Speaker 4: We're just hanging around talking right, right, I wasn't And
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: that was a long trip for us, those players, that's who.
• 8:54
  Speaker 4: It's a long trip for, having to stay engaged, having
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: to follow the game plan, having to be physically ready
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: to go, playing at some elevation in what was in
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: BYU one of the toughest environments we've seen all year,
• 9:05
  Speaker 4: and going against a Utah team that couldn't have been
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: further from laying down right. I mean, we'll talk about
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: that too. You talk about the job Josh has done
• 9:11
  Speaker 4: in a short amount of time getting his team ready
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: to play. That was an absolute war as well. That
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: was an NCAA tournament type of atmosphere between two teams.
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: So I credit the players for staying engaged throughout the
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: season as well. A really impressive collective effort by this group.
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: When you had no idea what to expect heading into this, you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: Know, I would I would say, you're right, man, no
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: idea what to expect except that what have you come
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: to expect about this team?
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: That they're gritty, they're gutty, they fight, and they're gonna
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: have a really good game plan.
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're gon be prepared, right, and that's what you
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: that's what you get and sometimes you run up like BYU,
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: run up against a tough environment, against a really good
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: team or Houston. But most of the time, the vast
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: majority of time, take your shot.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And the irony of that is that might have
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: been one of the best game plans, that first half
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: game plan that they had in place that no one
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: had tried on BYU is absolutely working. If you could
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: have made a few shots, maybe you don't get out
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: of there with the win, but you certainly make them
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: sweat a little bit longer than what you add to
• 10:03
  Speaker 4: just couldn't make any shots, and that puts everything else
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: secondary when those balls aren't going in.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: Good points, hoppy, thank you. Despite the fact that they're obvious,
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: those are very good.
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: Sellian points.
• 10:16
  Speaker 4: Those those weren't all that obvious. Those were some good numbers.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: You're you're seven, pretty good.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: You're your nineteen regular season wins over the last seven years,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: that's pretty good.
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: Well, you get if you if you get nineteen, if
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: you win Saturday, then you will have been better than
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the average for the previous six years regular season.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And and the and the and the asterisk that
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: will always have to be placed on this team it's
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: at d after Tucker devrees. Yeah, eight games in you
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: lose them pretty much. Yeah, makes it makes it something
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: to wrap your arms about. What do these teams have
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: in common? West Georgia, Mercyhurst, Tennessee, Martin Niagara, Maryland, Eastern Shore,
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Indiana University, Indiana, I owned the Paul West Virginia, Kentucky.
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: That group of teams are the teams that did not
• 11:11
  Speaker 1: return a single point on their roster from a year ago.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Only two of those teams will go to the NCAA Tournament,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: Kentucky and West Virginia in Kentucky, Kentucky probably in the
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: neighborhood of minimum four and a half million in Ilt
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit more. So that kind of puts
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: into perspective what you're getting into there. So that's been
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: a good story. And I hope Saturday, I think fans
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: know they'll be their Saturday and they need to take
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the lid. They need to take the lid off the
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: coliseum in appreciation of what these guys have done and
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: for the six seniors that are going to walk. And
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: then oh, by the way, here's a fresh piece. There's
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: a ground chuck roast. We're gonna throw into this pool
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: of water and then let the piranhas eat because if
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: you finish the meat, you get to the NC Double
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: A Tournament. You will go into Kansas City, whether it's
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: next Tuesday or Wednesday, locked into the NC Double A Tournament.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: If you're ten and ten, you know you're in. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: you went away from doing that, so like, okay, crank
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: it up, and I got some other news.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: I kind of think you're in right now, but I do.
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: I know what you're pointing is now you go their news?
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: What I got some other news?
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: What's in.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: B YU crowd atmosphere?
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yes, for real, really pretty strong.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Second to Allen Fieldhouse.
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: Really really they get it going huh big.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: And that second might be decimal points.
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's that. It is that.
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: I mean, I I maybe could make an argument against
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: you there now. Allen Fieldhouse brings the tradition piece into it,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: and boy it got it got rocking when we're there
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: on New Year'sy. But that b YU and environment, they
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: were on it early engaged. I mean, they do the
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: starting lineups along with the PA announcer. The whole student
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: section is saying the starting lineups with the PA annunts.
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: They know every word Wow. At guard they see.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: What they do on their starting lineups. That's his massive scoreboard.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: They drop this curtain down from this all the way
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: down on all sides, and then they shoot the image
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: of the player.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Oh nice.
• 13:27
  Speaker 4: It was an impressive operation. But just the attendance, I mean,
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: eighteen thousand people packed in there, there wasn't a seat
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: available nould affect the game.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. It impacts the game.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: They did.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: Absolutely. It impacts the game, no question. It gives those
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: guys energy, and then they go to Iowa State and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: win in overtime, So I mean they're good. They're playing hot, right.
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: I think you're right. That's that's what West Virginia will
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: bring Saturday when that building's filled up. Great start time,
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: five o'clock. That'll be great for folks. You get in
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: there in a game that Tony, as I've been saying,
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: I thought you got to nine wins in the league
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: and you're in the tournament. You certainly would, though, feel
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: better you get to ten. You're not even debating it.
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Real chance to do that on Saturday. Yeah, And I
• 14:05
  Speaker 4: think you're right. That's a twofold thing. At of those
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: seniors that have come in and done such a great
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: job this year. But then two we've seen it. You
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: can affect the game, you know, affect the game.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, why don't you do that?
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: Right?
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: And there one last time.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and we'll get into this. But you that's a
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: curveball with UCF. I mean they were in the tank
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: and then they came out and went three or four.
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: They got some guys that can score some a couple
• 14:27

• 14:44
  Speaker 1: know if it was a humidity or what we look
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: like Kerchieval out there going to lip bomb. I mean,
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: I'm like constantly my hands are all cracked, they're all
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: bloody and everything. My lips, my lips were all dry
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: and everything. And I said, you know what I needed.

• 15:25
  Speaker 1: we're done with all the plastic bottomsick and tired of
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: lifting all those plastic bottles, I ain't going to Sam's.
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I ain't going to Walmart bringing all that plastic water
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: bottles in there. Put the machine in, they get a
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: nice old big probably probably get a Tutor's biscuit travel mug.

• 15:59
  Speaker 1: number thing. It is time for spreads on stats, so
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I check your numbers.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: We'll just go right to the numbers.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: To jump into the analytics worship of the show. Ready,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: I kind of missed this song since we didn't record
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: on the Monday. I got it on my hit list.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: Condy CP Group provides spreads on stats. They do provide

• 16:46
  Speaker 1: outsource your CFO services. Numbers all right, So let's go
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: back to Utah recap. Here a great win in the
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: sense that I don't have the number in front of me,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: but when you get down double digits on the road,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I would imagine the stat on winning is not good.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: And yet that's what West Virginia did. So great recap
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: with the utes. What the computer tell us.
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: Step into a couple different things. I think the biggest
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: thing that jumped in terms of why you got that win?
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: How many times have we said this? You had multiple scorers,
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: not only was Javon scoring, and we usually ask for
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: one or two more. How about you got all three
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: Amani with twelve, Yesafu with twelve, JP with ten. Those
• 17:30
  Speaker 4: guys made shots. That game turned when you started making
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: some other shots and freeing up space for Javon Small
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: to work. So I thought that that was critical to
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: the game and a game that was just a battle.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: I mean they you absolutely had to fight again every
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: possession in that game to walk out of there with
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: a win, and you did. And I thought that was
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: a tribute to the Javan first and foremost. And we'll
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: talk about him individually, because again that was another first
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: team All American Big twelve Player of the Year type performance.
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: He just takes over games. He just continues to play
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: at this really high level. But she had a bunch
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: of guys mixing in there and doing it on the
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: offensive end. That's the most points off catch and shoots
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: in Big twelve play, second most on the season. Excuse me,
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: made open shots? Made open shots on me? They get
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: twenty one total points off catching shoots.
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: How many open looks at him?
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: I'll go back and pull that. It wasn't as many
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: as you thought. I'm not so sure they got those
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: numbers right. I felt like there were more open shots
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: than what the computer may have credited with because I
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: thought they had.
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: Some looks you know, I mean folks on the scores
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: table there.
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: You mean, no, there's a different group that does though
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: different charts that.
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: Because I thought the charts that I've been a little
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: bittension down there in the press road not table with you.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: They got. Brad tries to help during the course of
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: the season, He's tried to assist. He's tried to assist
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: the where was that? Where was that he gave some
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: assistance to the Baylor. Baylor has a situation there with
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: the shot clock. Brad was trying to help him during
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: the course of late moment play.
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: Same at Utah. Just had to help couple on score
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: was not reflective of what was happening. To try to
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: help you, to help on my stuff when I need
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: some help on things. So just there to help west
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: Rendam very good again out of timeouts fifteen points off timeouts.
• 19:17
  Speaker 4: And you saw that again late in that very last
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: shot by Javon with the bank where they they had
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: one play designed. Had to go to the backup part
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: of that play, clear out the side for Javon, let
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: him go to work. So that was another big area
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: excellent game for the pick and roll ball handler. It's
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: only the third game since Iowa State where West roams
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: and double figure points off the ball handler. But here's
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: what was interesting. It wasn't all Javon. Multiple guys scored
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: off the pick and roll. Joe got some JP Sincere
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: Toby all off the pick and roll. So it wasn't
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: just from Javon. We talked so much, guys about how
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: this staff and Darren come up with specific game plans
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: that are specific for the team in which you're playing.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: It is not just we're going to run an offense,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: so we're going to perfect our off fenor it's this
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: team does what and how do we best attack it?
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: And one of the themes for this game was backcuts
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: and cutting through the lane and take advantage of their
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: size movement. Keep moving, make those big bodies have to
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: chase you. If you let them stand still, you're going
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: to be in trouble. Make them move. This game had
• 20:17
  Speaker 4: multiple play calls for javan on cuts and guess what
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: happened scat a season high end points off cuts, including
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: the back door play on the out of bounds that
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: I think I said it one hundred and fifty times
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: on every baseline out of bounds. Hopy. I kept saying,
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: there's there's a little here, because you normally curl him
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: off around looking for the three, and teams are going
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: to start cheating. And as soon as you cheat, he
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: jabsy and cuts back toward came in the second half
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: right in front of the west root and the bench
• 20:44
  Speaker 4: got an easy might even get dunk out of that one?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: He did. It was a surprising reverse dunk. I didn't
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: think like, I didn't know where the dunk part came,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: but he just he went under the basket. So you
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: think he's gonna lay up all of a sudden, you
• 20:52
  Speaker 1: just went all the way up and just tomahark.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: I think that was because the first dunk attempt by
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: him didn't go. He said, going to tell you what
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I would do here, gonna pull an exclamation point on
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: this thing. I'm getting up on a reverse hammer it.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: He was great again, wouldn't he. I mean, he's so good,
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: guys he is just say, yeah, how would you defend him?
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: He would be a nightmare to play against. I just
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: I'll keep saying it. I think the guy's player of
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: the year. I know he doesn't get it because West
• 21:15
  Speaker 4: Virginia is probably not even gonna get a buy in
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: this tournament, so so there won't be votes for him.
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: He should get it based on how he's performed and
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: given the level of production that he has put forth
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: when he's the centerpiece of every game.
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: Play went on that can you think of it?
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: Look, there's a lot of good players in this league,
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: and you're right, he won't get it for a variety
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: of reasons. But can you think of another player who
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: has meant more to his team?
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: No? Than Von Small?
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: You cannot, No, you can't find one.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope, nope nope.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: I mean Hunter Dickinson's had a fine year.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: J T.
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: Toppin has had a really good year. Other guys have
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: helped carry that team at times. Omir for Baylor has
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: had a very productive year. If you took him off
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: that team, how much different are they?
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Right?
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: They have LJ. Cryer very good season, but Houston's loaded
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: with guys. West Virginia asked Javon go out every game
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: and lead them in scoring an assists, and hold the
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: ball ninety percent of the time.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: And get face guarded and get pushed and get held.
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: Face guarding him again for the other night for a
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: while and what do you finished with?
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: Nineteen? Do you have nineteen.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Nineteen and seven assists? Eighteen and seven assists while being
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: face guarded Player of the year should be player there.
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: Thought the defense was really good too. Gabe Mattson was
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: the focus of the game plan and he came out blistering, hot, hoppy,
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: and that was a concern because the first game in
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: Morgantown they shut him down. He came out and hit
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: three of his first four threes and you went, ooh,
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: this might be a little bit of a challenge here.
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: On senior night, Gabe Madsen was cranked up.
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: He's a guy that can get eight. He could get
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: eight threes in again.
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: No question.
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: He finished with twenty three points, but just two of
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: ten after that really hot start. West Virginia had multiple
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: guys on him at the end, sincere locked him up
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: and got all over him and made him very difficult
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: and happy. Tony and I marked a couple of times
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: during the broadcast late he looked winded. He was really
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: struggling to catch his breath, and I think that was
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: because of a couple of things. One offensively, he was
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: having to work so hard to get the ball and
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: get a look that was taxing. And then two defensively,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: multiple West Virginia guys just kept moving and moving and moving.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: So I thought they did a great job of handling
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: game mats. And after an incredibly hot start, let's talk
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: about stay on defense here for a second. Sincere Harris,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: I like to point these games out when he has them.
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: He had another game, guys, where he had more steels
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: than turnovers, and this is usually the assist to turnover ratio.
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: You hear people talk about. I haven't heard much steel
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: to turnover ratio except on this show. Sincere did it again.
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: That's his seventeenth game with two or more steels West
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: Virginia eleven and six in those games. How about the
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: last three games when West Virginia's gone two to one
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: since here with eight steels, two turnovers, four to one
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: steal to turnover ratio, which is just a ridiculously stupid stat.
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: No, it's a fun team. Oh been a fun team
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: the entire year. It has been each guy doing things
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: various times.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: Good guys, Yeah, everybody stepping up and the efforts.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Well, listen, the American Red Cross Player of the game,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: Eduardo Wandre. Yes, he left a pint. He left a
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: pinty and you read right, they're red school, right, a
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: lot of red around that building. But there were several
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: times I had to go get the red off the floor.
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: My guys stuffed his nose. I don't I don't think
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: they'll be able to reuse that towel. That towel probably
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: had to go into trash. We just when they took
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: that towel off of his face. Ye, I don't know
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: if they showed it like clean on TV, it looked
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: like a red towel. It literally looked like a red towel.
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: And for the fact that he came out to play
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: in the second half and then made plays in the
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: second half, that is an absolute put that one down
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: in our book of great efforts.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Great effort. I thought, no way is he coming back
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: in there, and he comes back and he catches that
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: alley op in particular, they're late finishes that off really tremendous. Yeah,
• 25:00
  Speaker 4: this was a game, guys. The numbers just really didn't
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: indicate that you were going to win this game. As
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: it kept going along. We like to see West Virginia
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: get to that nine three pointers made, they generally win
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: when that happens. Got to eight and they needed a
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: couple of them late to close to that number. You
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: got out rebounded forty to thirty one by Utah, and
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: that's normally a number. If you can steal the rebounding numbers,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: you win that game. Points off turnovers, Utah actually won
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: that fourteen to thirteen, even though they were sloppy at times.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: West Virginia had some uncharacteristic sloppy turnovers, especially in the
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: first half, so things weren't looking in your direction. And then, oh,
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: by the way, did you just ask me about free throws? Sure,
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: Zoey just said you want to talk about free throws?
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: Ooh.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: West Virginia again continues its streak of every single road
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: game all season being called for more fouls than the
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: home team. Here's what jumped out. You know, I like
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: to talk about free throw attempt rate. Yes, that's the
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: number of free throw attempts divided by field goal attempts.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: It gives you a good marker of who gets to
• 25:54
  Speaker 4: the line and how often they get to the line. Now,
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: Utah is a team that gets there fairly off in
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: thirty eight percent of the time. Now after the West
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: Virginia game is about thirty six percent going into that game.
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: That's top sixty nationally in terms of getting the free
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: throw line. So you guys hear that number, thirty six
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: percent going into the game, Yes, hops, you hear that
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: thirty at the time of the time. Yeah, like a
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: free throw temporarate for them, thirty six percent going into
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: the you're very good, top fifty five. They'll say it
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: was thirty six percent going in the game. For the game,
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: their free throw a tempt rate was sixty four percent.
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: It was double that thirty six for a good chunk
• 26:31
  Speaker 4: of that time. It came down there at the end.
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: So sixty four percent free throw attempt rate for Utah.
• 26:36
  Speaker 4: That's getting to the line a lot. Now here's one
• 26:39
  Speaker 4: that kind of jumped out of me.
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: Oh oh.
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: From thirty six percent free throw attempt rate to sixty
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: four that's a big jump, and that's one of the
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: areas of concern. The other team's getting to the line
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: that much, and they were, they were making it. They're
• 26:51
  Speaker 4: one of the worst free throw shooting teams in the country,
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: yet they were making free throws. So that was starting
• 26:56
  Speaker 4: to concern as we were watching that game, like Jesus
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: missed some more, missed some more. Help West Virginia out
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: here a little bit. Second half free throw attempt rate,
• 27:04
  Speaker 4: This was crazy stat ninety one percent.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: Let's put that in now, let's put this in the content.
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: Let me give one more number to it. They had
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: twenty two free throw attempts in the second half and
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: only twenty four field goal attempts. I'm sorry what They
• 27:18
  Speaker 4: almost shot as many free throws as they had field
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: goal attempts in the second half. Just for comparison, West
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: Virginia's free throw attempt rate in the second half was
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: thirty nine percent. Utah got to the line a lot.
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: That was the third most free throw attempts on the season,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: their third most makes on the season. So for West
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: Virginia to be able to overcome that number as well,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: where Utah was finding a way to get some easy points,
• 27:39
  Speaker 4: West Virginia wasn't necessarily wasn't getting the free throw points advantage,
• 27:44
  Speaker 4: wasn't getting the points off turnover advantage, and didn't make
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: a ridiculous amount of threes and found a way to
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: win that game. So the final numbers ended up those
• 27:53
  Speaker 4: are percentages. The final just raw numbers twenty two of
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: thirty two for Utah from the line West Virginia live
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: of sixteen doubleg up in attempts.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: If West Virginia had not made a couple of shots
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: at the end, that's what you'd be leading with, Brian.
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: Oh yeah, Oh, there's no There's no question. There were
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: some other things too I'd be leading with which I won't,
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: but I would have been leading with that. You're absolutely right.
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: So again, a lot of crewds to West Virginia for
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: finding way to battle through that and really the bulk
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: of WHI you point those numbers out, because I think
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: that's another part of West Virginia's wins this season that
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: are really impressive. They haven't been able to get some
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: of those free easy points. Their free throw numbers just
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: aren't what their opponents are on a regular basis, So
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: how do you overcome that? Some games it's been threes.
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: Other ways, it's just been finding ways to get baskets
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: points off turnovers as usually one. But did when either
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: of those categories against Utah and found a way to
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: get out of there.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Boy, that that is really really relevant going into the
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: next game.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: Although you're home, which is good. But I got an
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: obvious stat that we'll get to why are you going
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: to use it? Well when we get to Ucy.
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, great one, mark that one down, just a great
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: one against the utah Utes.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: Another one that you kind of had to have. It
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: wasn't a TCU had to have, but it was way
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: up that list of had to have, and he got it.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: And they had just beaten Kansas Kansas State, and they
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: ran Arizona State off the floor on Saturday. They were
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: up like twenty six seven eight against Arizona State, so
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: they had they had won, they brought they were rolling
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: along there. Josh doing a good job. No, they got
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: a hell of a game coming up Saturday. They got
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: to go to BYU and they already beat the BYUS
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: at Utah earlier this season. So the BYUS, I mean
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: they will be loaded up to try to get their nemesis.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: It could be a long day for Utah.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Darren was really complimentary of Josh on our on our
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: postgame radio show there just said what a great job
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: he was doing, how much he respects him. Then a
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: one of the good guys in the coaching business. And
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I would echo that Tony you and I both had
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: a chance to talk to Josh before the game and
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: tell you what those guys fight. I mean, Normally you're
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: getting a team with a coaching change like that at
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: the end of the season and you're thinking, all right,
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: there's going to be a moment here when they'll lay down.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: That team did not. They are clearly well coached and
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: again did a nice job and a lot of crawch
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: to West Virginia for fighting away.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: And they made news right they hired their dude. Yeah,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: Alex Jensen is going to be the next coach at Utah.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: Always a West Virginia connection. We played against him nineteen
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: ninety eight Anaheim, California. He was on that team with
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: Andre Miller and Michael Doleiak that beat West Virginia and
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: then went to the championship game that year beat Mountaineers,
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: beat Mountaineers in the sweet sixteen. There's some talk there
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: in Utah that Andre Miller could join him on his staff.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Miller's currently coaching g.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: League, that he was one of the fight He was
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: one of the guys they had in mind before they
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: hired the guy they fired Correct a couple of years ago.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Correct also in the next not too distant future, they're
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: going to announce that they're going to blow up the
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Huntsman Center and build a new facility.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: What's that facility like now, Huntsman Yeah, h just a.
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: Place old, Okay, nothing special.

  Speaker 3: All right, here we.
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: Go, kind of bizarre last game of twenty in your league.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: And you haven't seen this team yet, and that uce
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: f Johnny Dawkins is the head coach. They've got the
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: leading scorer in the Big twelve and Keyshawn Hall who
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: just has a point better difference than Javon Small. And
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: you got Darius Johnson who I think scored thirty seventy
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: nine or eighty points against West Virginia when he played
• 33:05
  Speaker 1: them last season down there at their place. They're gonna
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: go one hundred nine miles an hour baseline of baseline,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: it's going to be here we go.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: What do you have?
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Well, you point out Keishawn Hall, leading scorer in the league,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: and so it's a matchup of the two leading scorers
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: in the league.
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: You got that, you got Daris Johnson.
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: Here's the thing about Johnson at thirty six points against
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State, he's one of just get this number, he's
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: one of just seven players in the league to have
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: been at his at his original school for four years.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Seven one of seven to have been at the same
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: school for four years. That's wild one of seven. So
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: they've got guys that can score. You know, interesting stat
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: and I'll be looking to spread zone stats to better
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: understand this. Is that the stats indicate the obvious stats.
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: They're not a great shooting team, yet they average seventy
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: nine points a game. So that's interesting. Here's another point
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: figure that stands out to me. And I know the spreads
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: on stats will have something on this, especially since we
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: focus on this.
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: He says that like you're not here, like hey, he'll
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: be coming in later. Spreadszone stats will be coming in late.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: When spreads on stats comes in. They have attempted six
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty one free throws West Virginia four forty four,
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: six point eighty one, and they're shooting seventy eight percent
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: to four forty four. That's two hundred and thirty seven
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: more free throw attempts in West Virginia. Now maybe that
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: changes a little bit because you're home, but I mean,
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: that's a number that stands out.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: No, they're gonna put their head down.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: They're gonna go straight, drive, go to the rim, get
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: to the line, they're gonna go straight to the rem UCF.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: They lost seven in a row, but then they won
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: three in the last four, So who knows. I don't
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: know who knows, I mean, but those are some stats
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: that stand out to me.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Now defer to Spreads at a seven game Big Twelve
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: losing streak here until recently. Now they've won three out
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: of four, one last night against Oklahoma State, two and
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: seven on the road in Big twelve play. Ken Palm
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: projects us as a seventy seven to sixty eight West
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: Virginia win. As you guys have mentioned, they will play
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: fast and they want to just get up and down
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: and score. They've averaged eighty three points per game in
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: their Big Twelve wins, So that's how they're going to
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: try and beat you. They're going to try and just
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: simply outscore you, which I know is the point of
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: the game. But they're going to try and to get
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: more offense and they'll worry about defense. The most West
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: Virginia has given up in a loss this season Big
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: twelve seventy seven to BYU, seventy five to Arizona. So
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: this will be an offense that wants to go and
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: score and run in transition against a defense that is elite,
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: locks you up and is one of the very best
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: transition defenses in the country. So which of those win out?
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: There is a lot of isolation. ISO ball here coming
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: in this voice. Keyshawn Hall is going to get the
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: ball and it probably isn't going to be passed once
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: it gets to him. Piper, it's going his heads you said,
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: his head's going down. He's trying to get the rim.
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: Or he's going to hit a step back three. Darius
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: Johnson's same thing. When the ball gets to him, it
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: probably isn't coming out. It's going to the who or
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: going up as a shot as well. So this will
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: be critical individual defense here, right, Tobyo o'connie's probably gonna
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: draw Haul early since here's going to draw Darius Johnson,
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: who wins those individual matchups early on. In five of
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: seven Big twelve wins for UCF, they've made double digit threes.
• 36:17
  Speaker 4: They're getting the number seven team in the country in
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: three point field goal defense in West Virginia. That's West
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: Virginia's strength this season has been running teams off the
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: line or not allowing them to shoot well in there.
• 36:30
  Speaker 4: In six of their seven wins, their three point attempt
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: rate has been forty percent plus and most of the
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: time it's closer to fifty. So that's the matchup to
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: really watch, as much as they're going to try and
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: run and get easy baskets, as much as they're going
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: to try and get downhill to the basket. When they win,
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: it generally comes from a high volume of threes that
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: are going in. Again, West Virginia has been very good
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: at shutting that out, so we'll watch that. They're good
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: on the offensive glass as well, and as you guys mentioned,
• 36:57
  Speaker 4: they get to the free throw line a lot, not
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: as much as Utah did either before or during the
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: West Virginia game. But they are a top one hundred
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: team in free throw attempt rate. Here's the difference, and
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: this is the one change from what we've seen from
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: West Virginia opponents this year that have gotten the lines
• 37:11
  Speaker 4: a lot. They make their free throws their twenty second
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: nationally in free throw percentage with those good offensive players.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: So if the officials are giving them a lot of
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: foul calls and they get to the line, that's a
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: potential concern because that's an easy way for them to
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: get some points. So West Virginia's really good defense going
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: against this offense that wants to get up and down.
• 37:29
  Speaker 4: That's going to be the critical part of this.
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: Also have a seven to two hundred and thirty five
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: pound freshman center who West Virginia coaches say will play
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: in the NBA. Still young right now, but he will
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: absolutely be a force around the basket. He had eight
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: blocks recently in one game. He'll also step out and
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: shoot the three. So they'll give you a bunch of
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: they'll give you a bunch of challenges. They'll give you
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: a bunch of challenges. This you got to bring it,
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: and I think that you know, the environment and the
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: up is really good for West Virginia. Everyone knows what's
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: on the line, and you know, Senior Day oftentimes can
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: be polarizing. It can produce great performances from teams, or
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: it can wiggy out. My lean is that this will
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: pump this team up and these guys will play knowing
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: what's out there for them. But this will be a
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: frustrating game, I think at time for fans because Keyshawn
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: Hall and Darius Johnson, as you said, are going to
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: be their lead dogs as far as taking the ball
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: to the rim. They will draw a lot of fouls.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: Keishawn Hall will pivot, spin, stick his shoulder into you.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: He'll do everything he can to draw contact. He's big,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: he's strong, and there will be those calls when fans
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: will say, wait a second, our guy was totally vertical
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: and they blew the whistle. There's going to be a
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: lot of that, so you just got to be careful.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: He's in the top one and a half percent of
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: players in college basketball and fowls drawn. Keishaan Hollis.
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: He lives for the contact. Like he goes and looks
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: to get hit and bumped. That's what he does.
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: Tony Brad please report early in your broadcast the crew
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: having her.
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: Oh she's Saturday. Good Lord, who knows what you're gonna get.
• 39:17
  Speaker 4: He's been held a single digits just three times all season.
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: He has a thirty four point outburst, another thirty four
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: point out worst, and a forty put up forty on
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: Arizona State. The thirty four one of them came against Kansas,
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: another really good defensive team. So Haul's gonna get his shots.
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: Hall's gonna get his shot. So what you have to
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: take advantage of with them, They're not gonna be real
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: interested in guarding you. Excuse me, They're not gonna be
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: real interested in guarding you. So get get down the
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: floor and transition on a missed field goal, push it
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: on a turnover that you're gonna get. You're gonna get
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: some turnovers, push it the other way, try and get
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: some easy baskets, and then, as West Virginia does in
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: half court offense, run your sets, get some motion. They're
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: gonna be disinterested in guarding you towards the end of
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: that shot clock and want to get out and go
• 39:59
  Speaker 4: the other So that's the counter to their pace. That's
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: so in addition to watching a team that wants to
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: shoot some threes against a great defensive team in three,
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: you're gonna get a big gap in pace here. You're
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: gonna get a team in UCF that wants to go,
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: go go. You're gonna get a team in West Virginia
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: that's gonna slow it down when it can to try
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: and frustrate UCF, but also take advantage of some running up.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: What's your defensive strategicy when guys, when they take it
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: to the baskets.
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: Imperative that you keep them in front.
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: Stay in front, square up, clog, stay in front of them,
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: clog the lane, and have help when they go. So
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: it's got to be both individual and it's got to
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: be team. You've got to do both of those. Make
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: them and they don't do it often, make them kick
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: it out, go ahead and sag off. Opposite of BYU.
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: Where West Virginia didn't sag it encouraged the two point shots.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: It said you want to go inside, go inside. You
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: want your guards to take it in, take the shot.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: We're covering your shooters. This will be the opposite. This
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: will be go down close that lane and say hey,
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: hal and Johnson, you want to pass, You want to pass.
• 40:59
  Speaker 1: It back out?
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: You don't, you want to go right in. You're gonna
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: get three.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: Guys before the game, during the game too. So you
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: know that phrasing basketball. There's a phrasing basketball when they
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: talk about a player and what, Okay, breaking down Hoppy's game, Well,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Hoppy is a really willing passer. Not a whole lot
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: on this team, not a whole lot of this team.
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Darius Johnson not real willing uh keisha On Hall definitely
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: not real willing passer.
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: Not assist leaders. Is that what you're saying.
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: He feels that I got a score, right, and I'm
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: not saying it as a negative, and he thinks that
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: he needs to score for his team. That ball's not
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: coming out of his hand. A lot of times, man
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: head goes down and here I come.
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: Yeah, And they have multiple guys. I mean, those are
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: those who are going to get the bulk of the
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: shots they're gonna get.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: You go, four guys average and double figure.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: They're gonna get plus fifty percent of the shots just
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: from those two guys. But you'll see everybody in that
• 41:45
  Speaker 4: lineup when they get in, they're designed to go and
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: get their own shot. They've got some really skilled offensive
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: guys that don't need a lot of passing and help
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: to get their shots. They're just gonna say, clear the
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: thing out and go westing. He's going to be the opposite.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: Not let them clear out, don't let them put you
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: in space, and you clog that thing up and make
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: them beat.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: You that way.
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: They had a stunning road win in league, played open
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: conference action at Texas Tech. Everyone went like whoa, and
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: then they want at Arizona State since they have lost
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: six in a row. So you're going to be at home.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: You're going to be favored. You just need to play.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: But that's the thing. You better be on high alert too,
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: because this is a team that has struggled, and if
• 42:21
  Speaker 4: you just look at their record, you come into this going, eh, okay,
• 42:25
  Speaker 4: you got this. But because West Virginia is not a
• 42:27
  Speaker 4: team that normally puts up a ton of points, chances
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: are good you're going to be in this game. This
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: is going to be another one where you're going to
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: have to really play and hopefully break their will by
• 42:35
  Speaker 4: the end of the game where they've said, okay, that's
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: enough in our final game. But I think you're going
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: to get their best shot early with some guys that
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: want to try and put up some points on you.
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: It would be a perfect scenario if West Virginia can
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: make four or five threes in the first half, right,
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: get yourself another five or six in the second half
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: and be in ten to eleven three point game for
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: West Virginia. You're going to need that probably to be
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: where you need to be.
• 43:00
  Speaker 4: The other thing too, This is a side note or
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: personal goals. This would be a nice little money making
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: game for Tobyo Kanni. He's going to be lined up
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: against one of the best offensive players in this league
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: that has some size. This is right in Toby's wheelhouse, right,
• 43:13
  Speaker 4: Toby's a really athletic, good length of himself can guard
• 43:17
  Speaker 4: like here you go, come on, let's go see what
• 43:19
  Speaker 4: you got.
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: Three guys before the game is brought to us by
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: Jan Dill's Attorneys at Law. One of their specialties, and
• 43:25

  Speaker 1: their service in the military. I'm talking about things like PTSD,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: back pain, hearing loss, knee injuries. And it is an
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: absolute chore to file these types of claims to receive
• 43:53
  Speaker 1: disability benefits. This is something that Jan Dill's attorneys at

  Speaker 1: if someone that you know is struggling through situations, contact them.
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: They will take you and will walk you through. It

• 44:52
  Speaker 1: I think you do need some You need some healing.

  Speaker 1: Absolutely textual healing brought to us by our episode eight
• 45:04
  Speaker 1: hundred dot com website. Give it a visit. You got
• 45:08
  Speaker 1: everything and anything that you could use. Coffee, we had
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: some great coffee on our trip to Utah, I mean
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: really good coffee. But you know what, I kept telling
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: him what I said, our boy, Rusty, I mean this
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: is better. He got nothing better. Ain't got nothing. I
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: mean it's good, but it's not nothing. And Rusty's right
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: there with our mountaineer roasting, game day grind plus all
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: of our other stuff.
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: Check it out.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: From Joe Mock, I'm extremely relieved to get the wind
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: in Salt Lake. But man thirty two free throws to sixteen,
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: that's got to end. Also, you mentioned on your last
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: episode of the five year Old Miracle Twins Sawyer and Mason.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: It prompted me to set up a monthly donation to
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: WVU Children's Medicine Hospital. The athletic department isn't the only
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: part of the school that deserves are giving, So thank
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: you very much. That was the law Man, that was
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: the law Man's kids. Thanks awesome, Thank you. High Scope
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: Spreads and studio Hop. Feels like the year has flown
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: by faster than most. Seems like yesterday was Thanksgiving. We're
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: in the Bahamas now Saturday Mountaineer mascot, his name the
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: new one. Hard to believe so much has changed, but
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: what hasn't is that de Rez knows his way to
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: coach and has elevated the program to know two ways
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: about it. I'm also happy about Neil getting a job
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: at Texas, no matter what the people said about him,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: He's a classy guy deserves another spot.
• 46:22
  Speaker 2: I got a little intel on that Joe and Charleston
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: that I actually was texting with him a little bit,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: and Neil said that he was he wants to stay
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: in coaching, and he wanted to take a year off
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: from all the responsibilities of head coaching, and he certainly
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: I think that speaks to how well he's respected. That
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: he's been hired on the staff of a blue blood
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: program number one and number two, I think that positions
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: him well if he stays there for a couple of years,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: if he wants to be a head coach again.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: And number three, it also reduces the payout.
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: He's due nine and a half a million dollars over
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: the next four years, but that will now be reduced
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: by the amount he's paid at Texas. I'm not sure
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: how much that is, but it will be reduced by
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: that amount.
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: Eric from New Jersey, Guys, I married into the WVU family.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Love listening to you guys, Brad. I want to give
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: you props for never talking over Tony or getting excited
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: and shouting over him during the broadcast. One of my
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: pet peeves is a sports fan listener. I really enjoy
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: sinking you guys. Feel like I learned something every broadcast.
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: Let's keep it going as long as we can. Let's
• 47:23
  Speaker 1: go HI out near is Eric from New Jersey.
• 47:24
  Speaker 4: Thanks Eric, He's obviously missed a few of my Yeah,
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: I know, thank you.
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: Eric. I was gonna say you probably didn't listen to
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: our last broadcast, and I'm not saying it for him.
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: I think at one point, Hopy, I told him after
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: I went and listened back, I sounded like a fan.
• 47:37
  Speaker 1: They called one of the phantom times you can't do.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: That happened right in front of us, texter An.
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: He did no.
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: I My contribution was on the last play inbounds play
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: of the game. I'm imploring Joe to not foul as
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: if I was coaching no foul.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Let me just say that he's trying to call the
• 47:57
  Speaker 2: player you guys are let's just say you're engaged, We're
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: into it. Yeah, it's fine, just trying to get a win.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: Thank you, Derek, appreciate that.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: Texter, any consideration for a rich Rod mentioned index the RMI.
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: I think we could do it. We'll have that.
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, Texter. Hello two and a half guys. Nick
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: from ELK View. I wanted to share some photos. My
• 48:15
  Speaker 1: wife and I was tripped to Nashville this weekend. Way
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: too many West Virginia connections to share. Most important, I
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: went to the grand Ole Opry, Charles Wesley performed Charles
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: Wesley Gobin. Of course, to make it even better, Opry
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: did a promotion. First eighty purchased a Charles New Lonely
• 48:29
  Speaker 1: Mountaintown CD, get an exclusive performance Q and A with
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: Chuck after the show. Mike was passed for the Q
• 48:34
  Speaker 1: and A. It was obvious West Virginia had an incredible presence.
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Out of the ten random people selected for questions, eight
• 48:40
  Speaker 1: we're from or had West Virginia connections overall awesome weekend.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Let's go mountaineers. So we had sent some pictures there
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: with Chuck as well. Charles there he is on stage.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Hop that's that's called the Grand Old Opry. They play
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: music there in Nashville.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, world famous.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: Crushing it, Absolutely, he is crushing it. He just had
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: his he had his billboard Time Square this past weekend.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: Jeez, amazing, Right, he's really he's killing it.
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah he is.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: That's awesome. Nathan Charleston, South Carolina Rights. We need a
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: foody update. How was the cougar tail? Well, it was
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: quite embarrassing, to be quite honest with you. They brought
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: us this cougartail. Excuse me, down there, b yu hey
• 49:21
  Speaker 1: among the pictures, Jake, there's the big super long cougartail
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: chocolate thing. That's the cougar Look at my Look at
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: my hand, and that thing went that. So they gave
• 49:33
  Speaker 1: that to me right before the game started. That and
• 49:36
  Speaker 1: I put it back in the box and I put
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: it underneath the table. Guess what I forgot when I left?
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: Oh, you left it?
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: You left it there? Yeah, left it?
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: But he Ate So they didn't just give it to him.
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: I mean he made it sound like they just gave
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: it him. They gave it all of us.
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: There.
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: I have Nate mine the whole thing three quarters slosh.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: I think it's John Canton.
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: I mean he brags about how he can eat. He
• 49:56
  Speaker 4: half asked it and just put away to eat it.
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: I just said, thank you very much, take that eat
• 49:59
  Speaker 4: it right now.
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: Charlie from mid Lothian Blood literally and guts win. This
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: team never gives up despite height and file shots, attempt
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: at disadvantage. I jumped out of my chair when that
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: second phantom timeout was called, screaming at the TV. They're
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: out of timeouts.
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: Te him up.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Let's finish the season with a big win against u
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: CE Brad. What happened on that second one.
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: Was ruling an inadvertent whistle?
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: Was there not do but it was ridiculous.
• 50:30
  Speaker 4: You're really supposed to have possession before tim out as granted,
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: that's how I understand the rule.
• 50:37
  Speaker 1: Texter.
• 50:38
  Speaker 4: Two instances where there wasn't really possession, there.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Was terrible, terrible, Hey Fellas.
• 50:43
  Speaker 1: I'm grateful for Derees, but I think he needs to
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: become more demonstrative on the road. Three throw disparity is
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: getting out of hand. West Virginia took twelve more shots
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: inside the arc, Utah took sixteen more free throws. Bizarre
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: grateful in Washington State, Shawn. So my thought on that
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: and I wrote, I don't know if I wrote back
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: to him or not.
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: I disagree.
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: Normally, I am all about jumping into an official. I
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: think the way that that game played out, if Darren
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: would have had lost a noodle as close as that
• 51:09
  Speaker 1: game was and you put them on the line to
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: shoot too and give them a possession, could have lost
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: the game. I agree, and I think we got some
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: We got the right call when it absolutely mattered.
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, the most. I think that's a misnumber that you've
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: got a screaming yell and holler and go nuts to
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: get foul halls. I get what you're saying. I get
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: the frustration. It's shared by everyone around the program, but
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: I don't know that I think you're right in that
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: particular case. That would not have worked on that in
• 51:33
  Speaker 4: that situation.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Sean and Raleigh in essence rode along text. But basically
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: what he's saying is, there's so much money that these
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: leagues are into now, and we're complaining about the officiating.
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: All the time.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Go out develop a whole system to develop officials and
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: use them in your league. There's so much money, And
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: to be quite honest with you, I think he has
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: a point. But obviously the decision makers, the league, the presidents,
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: the conference athletic directors. As much as they want to
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: bitch about the officiating, they're not willing to spend the
• 52:05
  Speaker 1: money to do it. That's the bottom line. Three guys,
• 52:08
  Speaker 1: thanks for taking time to say hello, take a picture.
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: You guys are both class acts. I finally got to
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: wear my Thanks for having a short in real time
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: after a win, playing ride will feel better and Mike
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: cold beer more satisfying until next time. Yogi from so
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: Remember Chris Salt Lake City? Hopey? Yeah, yeah, you had
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: a picture made with him?
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: Good to talk.
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: We finally got to meet Yogi Chris from Salt Lake
• 52:28
  Speaker 1: City got her picture made with them before the game.
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: That's him, That's what he looks like.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: Finally we know.
• 52:37
  Speaker 1: I always thought he would look different like as Yogi Chris, Like,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I thought he'd look more like a Yogi guy. Maybe
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: hair bond, something like that. You know, those guys, you know,
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know what made you think that. I mean,
• 52:50
  Speaker 1: I mean those yoga people look have a different look.
• 52:53
  Speaker 1: Don't say they don't Lululemon and all that kind of stuff.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: I thought he'd be there in tights. Brett from North
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: Carolina here travel to Utah with five WVU grads to ski.
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: The past five days we took in the BYU and
• 53:05
  Speaker 1: the Utah Games BYU was an amazing environment. Glad we
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: can overcome sketchy officiating. At the end of the Utah game,
• 53:12
  Speaker 1: immediately after, I found Yogi Chris, a frequent three guy Texter,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: and to take a selfie of his shirt and shout
• 53:17
  Speaker 1: out his taste in WVU gear.
• 53:19
  Speaker 3: So then he came in.
• 53:20
  Speaker 1: There there's Yogi Chris again wearing the shirt that says
• 53:23
  Speaker 1: thanks for having us pre and post Yogi Chris, Tony
• 53:29
  Speaker 1: and Brad. The only thing better than a Mountaineer winners
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: seeing Utah is big. This is a great one here, Hopy.
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: Remember the little kid? Were you here? When that little
• 53:35
  Speaker 1: kid in Utah was a huge Utah fan. His grandfather
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: lives in West Virginia and the kid ran out into
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: the street and had to say I love the Mountaineers.
• 53:46
  Speaker 1: After West Virginia beat Utah. Here he had a Pat
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: White T shirt on.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: Guess what what.
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: He came to the game and his mom brought him
• 53:54
  Speaker 1: up to us afterwards. There's there's a little guy right
• 53:57
  Speaker 1: there that's Owen and Uh. We had our picture made
• 54:01
  Speaker 1: with him and he was very nice, but you could
• 54:04
  Speaker 1: tell he's a Utah fan. Was a little disappointed that
• 54:07
  Speaker 1: the Utes had just understand it lost. What was great
• 54:10
  Speaker 1: to meet the little git it was there? Yeah, showed
• 54:12
  Speaker 1: up Joe from Boaz asking a question of the Senator.
• 54:16
  Speaker 1: What's West Virginia's men's teams points per possession after a
• 54:21
  Speaker 1: timeout nationally? Where do we rank? Pretty good?
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: Question?
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: Point eight two to two points for possession coming out
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: of a time out top twenty five percent nationally. It's
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: third in the Big twelve.
• 54:31
  Speaker 3: Is that because Neil Brown? I mean? Is that because
• 54:34
  Speaker 3: coach Devrees runs good stuff?
• 54:36
  Speaker 4: Runs good stuff?
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 54:38
  Speaker 4: Rob from a little time to prepare and explain what
• 54:41
  Speaker 4: you want to have done, carves it up.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: Rob from Buchanan. Listening to the TCU cree or recap
• 54:46
  Speaker 1: that you guys made, I made a reference to Festus
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: and Gunsmoke. That was Chester who had the pirate leg
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: How do I know this? I've watched every episode with
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: my wife. She's a gun smoke freak. And I broke
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: back to him. I said, well, it wasn't like you know,
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: fest was walking around looking like Jack Lalane.
• 55:03
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean. He had a hitch in
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: his gideo.
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: Hey, three guys, when my wife remodeled our house, you
• 55:10
  Speaker 1: did it without regard to my WVU pictures, less wall space,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: less room for pictures. Can you either of you use
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: these as a giveaway or an auction item. The pictures
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: don't do the frames justice. They're nicely framed. Those guy's
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: got two really nice pictures that Dale Spark had taken.
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: He's got Owen Schmidt and the Fiesta Bowl running, and
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: then he's got another one of Steve Slayton in the
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Sugar Bowl. So if someone's interested in those, this cat
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: lives in Ashland, Kentucky, let me know. We'll figure something out.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: But I think the larger issue is that those are nice.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Those are nice and are expensive and expensive in the
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: life just said, yeah.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: Hey, listen, forget about the man cave. Tell you're putting
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: those in your master bedroom. John from Kaiser quick observation.
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: Multiple games this season, we're leading at the end, appearing
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: to be comfortable, then we struggle to inbound the ball
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: severally these sit suations. Javon Small nowhere to be found
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: to receive the inbound. Why wouldn't you want your best
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: ball handler handling it late situations. The only thing I
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: can think of he's being used as decoy. What are
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: your thoughts? He's been around some I understand what you're saying.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: But here's the most incredible stat that we figured this
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: one out. End of Cincinnati, end of Utah. Okay, the
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: final twelve seconds combined of those two games, West Virginia's
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: giving up eleven points. Let me say it again, the
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: last twelve seconds of Cincinnati and Utah, twelve combined seconds,
• 56:38
  Speaker 1: they gave up eleven points and won both games.
• 56:42
  Speaker 4: Tuna, Tuna, some of that. You want Javon out of
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: there because they a lot of times put two guys
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: right on him. So you're trying to clear space. In
• 56:50
  Speaker 4: those situations, what kills you the most is lack of space,
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: so you're trying to open the floor up. And in
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: the Utah one, you just needed to get it in
• 56:57
  Speaker 4: a couple of times as obvious as was obvious in
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: that situation, there wasn't enough time left. It is amazing
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: this there's some weird things have happened. West Virginia falls
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: in a lake against Baylor, right and underneath the basket
• 57:09
  Speaker 4: and somehow can't get a shot off. It was a web,
• 57:11
  Speaker 4: It was a wet spot, giant lake into the basket.
• 57:14
  Speaker 4: I don't know how it got there. And Jonathan Powell,
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: for some reason did nobody around him, Just like ghost
• 57:18
  Speaker 4: in Utah's Arena pushes in.
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: On the inbound.
• 57:21
  Speaker 4: They weren't even they weren't a defender.
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: There, three guys before the game is brought to us
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: by Lou Wendell Marine Sales. Bit snowy cold out there today,
• 57:29

  Speaker 1: NCUBLEA tournament. All guys, all of these guys that came here,
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: they had one goal. They'd never been in. They want
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: to be in the NCAA tournament. The nit would be
• 59:37
  Speaker 1: an absolute non starter for them. They wouldn't be they
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: would not be engaged real quick.
• 59:42
  Speaker 4: One note on that West Virginia continues to be solidly
• 59:44
  Speaker 4: in the field, did not move as much some of
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: these numbers. Man didn't move much at all after a
• 59:49
  Speaker 4: quad win road win over Utah, but moved a tenth
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: of a point. Here's what's interesting. It was good that
• 59:55
  Speaker 4: West Virginia had a night off last night that improved
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: its ranking by not playing more so than it did
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 4: playing and beating Utah on the road. Neither here nor there,
• 1:00:03
