  Speaker 3: in the day.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: He was in that famous game, that UCLA Houston game.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: We'll get into it here.

  Speaker 3: That's a national title contender. Yeah, that fits the profile
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: of who's gonna win a national titles.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So we'll get into that one here a little bit.
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Alvin and as your boy dapped him up
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: before the game, excuse me. Alvin does color on the
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: Houston radio now seventy nine years of age, and.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Uh, he's pretty good.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: Your boy, Your boy went on game, dam fish, did
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you Yeah?
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: I think I shook his hand, didn't I?
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: Or did you shake?
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It was a traditional handshake.
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: Because he's seventy nine, You think the DAP.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: Would be a little bit trying to do. Yeah.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: I didn't want to know he would have been fine
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: with it. I saw hush want to show some respect
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: to one of the greatest players of all time.
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: I saw a hand contact.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't know if it was a traditional traditional handshake with.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's long, big. He was the tallest guy in
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: press row. When you stand up for the national anthem,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I'll tell you that my six nine six eight six nine,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: ohaly bigger than that. Seems like seven to seven. I
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: mean just a long guy, long guy. So we'll get
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: into that. We'll talk about that. As usual, when you
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: go on the road, things happen that aren't necessarily scheduled
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: to happen. It began right when the team left uh
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Morgantown to go to the Pittsburgh airport. That's the first
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: thing that wasn't supposed to happen. You're supposed to fly
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: at a bridgeport, but it had to go to Pittsburgh
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: because of the weather, I guess. And then the plane
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: didn't leave in time because there was ice down in
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Texas where it was coming from. So they had to
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: make a quick little detour and pulled into a restaurant,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: and they did a fantastic job, serving forty five people
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that were unexpected in ninety minutes in out the door.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Boom, good job.
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: So that was really good.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: It's sorry good bounce back. Yep.
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Then flew out there at a boulder and first time
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: there obviously, and wanted to get a feel of the elevation.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So they immediately just went to the gymnasium and got
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: to work. I got at the gymnasium and they got
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: to work out in to say okay, fine, we're fine.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: Air They got air, you know what airs here, And
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: then played the next day and great first half and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: second half, just as you thought. Maybe it was the elevation,
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: maybe whatever it was, or maybe a lot.
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: Of yeah, yeah, I mean the elevation was the thing.
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: Guys retired there maybe a couple of other things that
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: happened within the course of the game that swung the
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: scales in the Buffalo's favor.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Fifty eight fouls, fifty eight foul shots. Fifty eight foul shots.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, quite a bit. But you know what all we
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: played to do is win the game.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Well it look, it was a it was a rock fight.
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: You a big twelve road trip, a long road trip,
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: and you come away one in one. You take that
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: all day, take that all day. And the big game
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: to me was the Colorado game, because if you lost that, Brad,
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: you would have lost that lose at Houston and playing
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Iowa State. So you got Colorado, you lose it Houston
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: like everybody loses. Houston will get into that. And I
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: come home against an Iowa State team that just knocked
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: off Kansas, so they're full of themselves. Maybe a little
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: flat spot who knows for Iowa State.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: So you're okay right that Colorado win too. In addition
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: to all those things you just said, another opportunity, just
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: like Kansas was where they were coming. Officials were going
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: the other way, Onya. You were getting some ridiculous calls,
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: and yet you just held the line right. You just said,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna lose. Javon Small just said, here's what
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: we're gonna do, and yes, if we're gonna win the game,
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: and see you and Joe, Yesafu was absolutely outstanding eighteen.
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: I mean he was, and you just closed you out tired.
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: Javon Small played thirty eight minutes at elevation.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Well, Javon Small plays plays like in a forty minute game,
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: plays forty two minutes. I mean, he's he's he never leaves,
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: and I tell you that we'll get into this too,
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: is that I don't see how that's not going to
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: take its toll at some point. I mean, I think
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: he was getting tired last night, as you might expect.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: To me.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Three, Why I got to cast negative.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: That's not a negative thing. That's not faced thirty eight
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: thirty eight minutes a game, especially when you're playing somebody
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: like Houston whichever.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: You ever heard lou gerrit didn't take a day off.
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: All right, fine, good, okay, go ahead.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: He's playing a lot. You know what else he's doing.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: He's playing at a national player of the year level.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: That's the number one defense in the country. And they
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: tried to say, we're going to take him out and
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: he said in that first half, just said.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, not go for thirteen here.
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Now second half Amani picks up the scoring slack there.
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: But Javan is playing truly as good as anybody in
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: the country.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: Talking too, he's I mean, he's all I mean, besides
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: the national recognition that he deserves. But I mean, like
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: right now, Big twelve player of the year at this moment,
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: he's right there in that you have to include him
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: in conversation.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: Well, you do for a couple of reasons. One is
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: the way he's playing, and two is that West Virginia
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: is exceeding dramatically expectations, so that as well.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: They're exceeding expectations so well that maybe there needs to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: be a national honor, you know, maybe there needs to
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: be a national honor for the coaching job that's done.
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: Do they do anything like a mid season Coach of
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: the Year or anything like that, Brad, I think so.
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Jim Falen, right, remember the former Mount Saint Mary's coach,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: there's an award named after him, mid season Coach of
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: the Year. You got to be after that, we'll.
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: Get into some of those x's and o's, but to
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: that point, there were again, there were some things last
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: night put in against Houston that were that were out
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: standing and new and good, and this team just has
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: a chance every night. I know that score last night
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: ended up as a score where you wouldn't think it
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: was as close. We'll get into some numbers here. West
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Virginia was was making life uncomfortable there for Houston for
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: a while.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: No question. And okay, so it ends up being sixteen points.
• 8:16
  Speaker 2: If you just glanced at the score, you go, Okay,
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: you got beat sixteen at Houston. But that game, the
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: fact that West Virginia was I mean, they started strong
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and then they struggled, and they had their spells where
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: they weren't scoring, and you know, Robert said, the big
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: first half. But in the second half, West Virginia came out,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: made it a game three times three times, got it
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: within three, within five, within six. And to me, I know,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: we're not into moral victories, but I thought that showed you.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: That showed the character and the grit of this team
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: that will get you some wins along the way, because
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: we've seen a million games involving all kinds of different
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: teams where you get down thirteen to sixteen and you
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: lose thirty. Okay, that happens all the time. Didn't happen.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: They battled the way back against a better team on
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: the road where nobody wins, and I thought, put in
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: a supreme effort, just got just got worn down by
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: a better team.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Excuse me, breaking news, Yeah.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Pretty good as a live shows, let people know.
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: Just looked up here at the Jim Falin National Coach
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: of the Year website. Date line, Boston, Massachusetts, date January sixteen,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: as we record today, Yeah right now. West Virginia's Darren
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: Devrees earns mid season honor. Wow, mid season coach of
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the year.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Did you know that? Did you just play us for
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: fools and act like you didn't know that was happening.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: I don't need to play you for a full No.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: West Virginia head coach Darren Devrees recipient of the Faling
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: mid Season Honor, the award presented annually the top head
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: coach in Division one college basketball.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: How about that?
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: With just two point eight percent of its scoring from
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: last season's team turning, West Virginia pick finished thirteen of
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve, but Devrez has the Mountaineers poised to
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: return to the NCUBLEA Tournament after a two year hiatus.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: West Virginia recently broke into the top twenty five thirty
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: in the latest NCUBAA Net rankings, five and five against
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: rank teams during his career three and oh at West
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: Virginia with wins against Gonzagar, Kansas, and Arizona three and
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: one after last night. The wins over Kansas, Gonzaga and
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Kansas mark the first time the Mountaineers have been two
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: top ten teams in the same season since OT five
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: Hot six. West Virginia has already surpassed last season's win
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: total of nine with wins at Kansas and Colorado. Mountaiers
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: have matched their road win total and conference played for
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: the last three seasons combined. That's remark they were two
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: and twenty five the last three years in the Big
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: Twelve on the road. So there you go, Coach Devrees.
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: Congratulations, well deserved obviously a lot of seasons ago. But
• 10:56
  Speaker 3: hop we've literally on this show been talking about what
• 10:59
  Speaker 3: a great high that was since before he was hired.
• 11:02
  Speaker 3: They're talking about potentially getting hired. They Darren and this
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: staff is doing an incredible job putting you in positions
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: to win. Correct, right, You've just battled through injuries, massive injuries.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: That's the thing, guys, No Tucker Devrees again or still
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: and it is next man up. It's no excuses what
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: Darren always says. But that's an unbelievably massive loss that
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: everybody's just kind of moved on and said, all right,
• 11:26
  Speaker 3: go out there and find ways to win games. That's
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: a gigantic loss. A preseason all Big twelve player is
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: out of your roster, and he's even more valuable than that,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: as valuable as that sounds, he's even more valuable. And
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: yet you're right there starting two to one on the
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: road with your one loss being to a top five team.
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: Come on, so well deserved he should be. I did
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: not know there was a mid season national Coach of
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: the year. He's absolutely the choice for mid season coach here.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: It's what should be. Yeah, three guys does not get
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: a vote in as we would.
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: Have voted for him. I hadn't have been three votes, right,
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: he would have.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Been three votes if we would have had that, So
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: very good. Three guys before the game is brought to

• 12:30
  Speaker 1: Got any obvious observations, Yeah.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: I kind of laid out most of them already, But
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: as I said, I think that the Colorado game was
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: the key game there, so you come home one in one.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yesufoo's performance at Colorado it was just huge. It was
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: kind of a rock fight because all those fouls can
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: come away with the wind, so that was important. Houston,
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: they're really good. Really, that's a talented team. They're tough
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: at home. I think they get a favorable I'm not
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: saying the officials cost him a game, not saying that,
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: but I think they get a favorable with at home
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: and be point that them. They played really tough defense
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: for the best defensive team in the league, giving up
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: just fifty four points a game. So they're just tough defensively.
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: They wear you down. You know. Javon Roberts and bred
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: now we're talking about talking and when we were doing
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: show prep Tony where Roberts was not their primary scorer
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: yet last night in the first half, so West Virginia's okay,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: we'll just man up on him and don't have to
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: double down. And he just was ambidextrious shooting from left hand,
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: right hand, bounced off the top of his head, you
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: know whatever. It was all going in and was just
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: a handful in the first half. And they took care
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: of that in the second half, so that was a
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: matchup issue in the first half. Hansbury getting those two
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: fouls in the first half, that hurt, you know, so
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: in them getting heuston getting points off turnovers. West Virginia
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: didn't have a ton of turnovers bread, but it cost
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: him twelve turnovers twenty five points. So they just West
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Virginia battled back in the second half, showed a lot
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: of character, a lot of grid, but they just wear
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: you down. They just wear you down. That's what happened.
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Some of that stuff.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I'll get into a couple of those things here in
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: the stats portion, it was really points off turnovers what
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: lost you the game. I'll give you some staggering stats
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: from Houston. That was the number one concern for West
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Virginia going into the game was points off turnovers against them.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: That's what cost you the game. You're right, the twelve
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: turnovers in and of itself as a raw number is
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: certainly manageable. It's a little bit higher than you want,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: but manageable. It was the points that were created off
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: those number one number two. When you talk about game
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: planning stuff. Part of why Juwan Roberts had the game
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: he had was by design. If you watch West Virginia,
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: you pay attention to the Mountaineers. They double in the
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: post almost exclusively given the size differential most of the time.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: So the ball goes down inside, they'll send a second
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: player at the ball to try and get it out
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: of somebody's hands. Last night they went into that saying,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: you know what we're going to do. We do not
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: want to give up those open threes to Crier and
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Sharp in particular, who were just fantastic shoot the bulk
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: of their shots from three and are two of the
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: best in America at shooting those. So they said, go
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: ahead and put the ball on Juwan roberts hand. If
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: he scores forty, so be it. He'll score forty. That
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: means you're not shooting threes. We'll try and get our
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: points on the other end. To Roberts credit, he made
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: some shots early, and he made some right handed shots,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: which he almost never does. He's a ninety nine percent
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: I'm going left. I'm going left. I don't care if
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: you're on my left. I'm still going left. Last night
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: he came back and hit some right handed shots. That's
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: exactly what you wanted him to do in the second half,
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: they baited it a little bit. Roberts was feeling good
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: about himself and he should very good.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: First half.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: He was dominant scoring wise. Second half when he got
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: the ball, he started to go to work because he thought,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I'm just going to back in and keep scoring. West
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: Virginia then flew double teams at him a couple times,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: forced him to have three turnovers in the second half.
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: So it was a really good job of game planning,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: and sometimes your plan doesn't work perfectly. The kid responded
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: and made some shots, but you'd rather get beat with
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: that happening than them hitting threes.
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Now. They also did that.
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: There were only a few times when West Virginia either
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: got caught on a screen or didn't get over the screen.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: Literally a few.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: Baylor made you pay on almost hugeory one of those.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: Houston made you pay on almost every one of.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Them, and Devrees pointed that out that West Virginia is
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: typically very good at fighting through those screens, and when
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: they didn't or couldn't for whatever reason, they made they
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: made shots.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and they were pretty good last night, and that
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: wasn't a bad effort with that against Arizona. It wasn't
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: a West Virginia level effort going over screens. You just
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: didn't do what you were supposed to do. That was
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: not the case last night. There was literally a handful
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: of him and Baylor when you left. When you left
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Crier in particular open, he knocked him down.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: And Tony when Javon small and again he's having a
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: remarkable year. But when he comes across the mid court
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: and two big physical guys are coming up on him, yeah,
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: presumaby way somebody's opened. But man, that is that wears
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: a guy down.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Need little help, got which he got in the second half,
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: and I'll get into some of Mamani's numbers. That was
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: exactly why you have Amani Hansbury on this roster because
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: now hop what it does and I'll dive into this,
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: but looking forward other teams now that are scouting West Virginia.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Now you got Now you've got a problem because you
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: want to double Javon. That's fine, and that's what you
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: should do. Try and get the ball out of his hands,
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: but that's gonna leave a MANI open for what's called
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: the pick and pop right where you back off for
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: the three. So what's the adjustment you still want it
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: out of Javan's hands, so you're still going to run two.
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: But you don't want a Moni sitting over there on
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: the wing. So now you're going to rotate somebody up.
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: Now you put Powell over in the corner and a
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: third pass to power Yesufu, but comes the scorer. So
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: that's the cat and mouse game that's going to happen
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: moving forward here.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: And they're going to see again one of the nation's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: best defenses on Saturday against Iowa State. We'll talk about
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: that coming up in just a little bit. You're ready
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: to do some numbers here, get in so you're gonna
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: do Colorado.
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna do mostly Houston. And that's what's unfortunate about
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: these road trips, because we'll we'll do more Houston because
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: it just happened. We'll get back in and hit a
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: couple of Colorado things because you're right, Hoppy, I don't
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: I don't want to move past that too quickly. That
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: was a really big significant road wind so for West Virginia.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: But we'll begin with Houston there, so I check the numbers.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: I'll just go right to the umbers.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, check numbers. Let's jump into the analytics worship of
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the show. This is this is, this is spreads on stats.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: That's brought to us by the Conley CPA group. That's right,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: the Conley CPA group. They can provide value beyond numbers.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, in essence what they are. They're just terrific.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: They're just terrific. They are consultants to businesses throughout the
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: state of West Virginia. And beyond outsourcing your accounting, they
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: can take care of that. You say, hey, here's our situation,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: here's what we have. Can you guys help us with that?
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: They go, yeah, we can. We can outsource your accounting
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: for you. Also outsource CFO services chief financial officer. I
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: don't know if Kurtiable Communications his new company that he
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: started since he's retired from here, if they need a CFO,
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: but Conley CPA they could come in there and do that.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: All you gotta do is call Mike so Audit and Assurance,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Tax Planning, prep Consulting Advisory, Conley CPA. All right, what
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: did the numbers say?
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: First and foremost, let's dive in a little bit to
• 19:08
  Speaker 3: what we just talked about. The game last night was
• 19:10
  Speaker 3: decided on points off turnovers and that's a category that
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: West Virginia has been very good at this season, one
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: of the best in the country. In fact, last night
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: it went the other way. And again hop we talked
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: about going into that game, was that was Darren's number
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: one concern. He kept preaching, you just cannot turn it over,
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: and you can't do it in the live ball situation
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: when there's action going on, which will allow Houston to
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: get out and go make shots and get the crowd going.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: Last night, West Virginia had seven live ball turnovers. Houston
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: converted that into two point one four points per possession,
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: so literally a basket plus on every single one of
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: your turnovers. They were three of four from three point
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: land off live ball turnovers.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: That hurts three to three.
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: Scar three made threes off seven live ball turnovers, and
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: that's what they do. Hop They came in shooting forty
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: six percent from three off those live ball turnovers. They
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: were seventy five percent from three last night. They just
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: simply didn't miss. There were five more turnovers that were
• 20:11
  Speaker 3: dead balls. Houston converted those into two points per possession,
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: two of three from three, so that's five of seven
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: from three point land off. West Virginia's turnovers last night,
• 20:24
  Speaker 3: full stop ballgame right there. You don't have to you
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: don't need any more numbers that I'm gonna give you,
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: but that was the difference in the game last night.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: I will give you some more numbers though last night.
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: This speaks to.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: What West Virginia was able to do. Even again, you're right,
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: there's no moral victories, and you're right that you're in
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: to win the game. But I think you also, over
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: the course of a long basketball season, given what West
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Virginia's dealing with without being at full strength one of
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: its best players, I think you got to put some
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: of this in context and see what they're doing so far.
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: Here's one for you. Houston's the number one defensive efficiency
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: team in the country per Ken Palm, the very best
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: defensive team, and they've been right there most of the season.
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: If you took their defensive performance last night, their numbers
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: against West Virginia, and if they averaged that for an
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: entire season, they'd be in the sixty sixth percentile nationally.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: That shows you the effect West Virginia had in that game,
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: and it just missed a few shots. There were some
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: open shots there that if West Virginia knocks down or
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: when it gets it to three or five and you
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: get one more bucket right there, then Houston's in some
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: real trouble there. You might not have won the game.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: Houston's very tough to beat at home. What'd you have
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: that number up?
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Thy right?
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: It's outrageous at home.
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: So you may not have won, but you you went
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: into that without one of your two best players and
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: put on a performance against them that they really haven't
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: had all season, right in Big twelve play certainly, so
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: I thought that was pretty impressive. Here's another thing to
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: watch this also effects moving forward. Evanmakala evanmeia dot com
• 21:58
  Speaker 3: put out a graphic yesterday that listed teams. It was
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: in a graphic form that went on teams that go
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: on ten oh runs or more called kill shots, and
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: then how many do they go on versus how many
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: do they give up? Like on an xy access there,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: Houston is in one of the top two teams, one
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: top five teams in terms of going on ten oh runs,
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: but they're one of the two best along with Arizona,
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: who West Virginia saw in not giving up ten point runs.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: So last night go look at that number hop. Houston
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: had a fourteen oh run, an eleven zero run, and
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: a nine ozer run which didn't qualify for that number,
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: but it was right up against it. West Virginia had
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: none of those, so Houston did what it did. It
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: was able to get those turnovers and lead to two
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: big runs or kill shots. Hard to get wins when
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: you give up two or more of those in a game.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: And they went on those runs when West Virginia got
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: within a couple.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they answered there.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, that's what good national championship contending teams do.
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: They answered.
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: Here's a side note note of the top five or
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: six teams in the country in terms of who has
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: the most kill shots, who goes on the most runs.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Arizona was up there, Houston was up there.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Or give me Iowa State.
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Here comes Iowa State. So they're similar and we'll get
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: we'll get into a little Iowa State preview. Not too
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: dissimilar from what you saw last night. A really aggressive
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: team that wants to bully you defensively and has made
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: themselves a better offensive team. Iowa State's offensive efficiency numbers
• 23:26
  Speaker 3: are better than where they've been, so it's a dangerous
• 23:28
  Speaker 3: team coming in.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Here Saturday, lined up, took Kansas last night, beat them,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: kicked them around, started to finish, beat them seventeen. Yeah,
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: that's Kansas. Kansas Jayhawks watched a little bit of that.
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: Just a dominant performance Bioa State. They were at home,
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: they were all greased up, just houseome. Ever, how someomever
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: last Saturday, the Iowa State ors went to Lubbock, Texas
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: Tech's there and they were beat They were defeated Texas Tech.
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech misses free throw shooters, missed foul shots for
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech, which allowed the Cyclones to win that game.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: So you're a different team when you're on the road,
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: and a sold out crowd here on Saturday could provide
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: some tremendous energy and juice, and you just hope they're
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: off a little bit. You're on a lot and you
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: take your swing.
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: Suck some more offense.
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: For West Virginia, let's go back to points off turnovers
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: for just a second. What West Virginia or what Houston
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: finished with last night, twenty five points twenty twelve in
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: the road wins over Kansas and Colorado. West Virginia only
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: gave up five points combined on live ball turnovers wonder
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: why you won two road games there, right, So that
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: was a big difference. Here's some more numbers West Virginia offensively.
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: If you take the Mountaineers points per possession for the
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: game last night, it ended at point nine to eight
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: to two, so almost one point for every possession. To
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: put that in context, the point nine to eighty two
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: against the nation's number on defense. If you did that
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: over the course of your season, you would be the
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: eighty third most efficient offense in the country out of
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: three hundred and sixty seven team So that's top twenty
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: three percent of teams against the number one defense. So
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: you were doing some good things last night. In the
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: second half, you jumped it to one point zero three
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: to eight points per possession. That's twenty fourth nationally if
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: you averaged over a season. So you went on the
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: road on the second of a back to back long
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: road trip against the best defense in the country and
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: put up a top twenty five type of offensive effort
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: without playing one of your best games. Right, I don't
• 25:34
  Speaker 3: think that felt like one of Westernian's best offensive games.
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: But you just put some numbers on paper there that
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: were pretty solid. Talk about things to build upon. I
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: think you walked out of that arena disappointed in the loss,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: disappointed in the margin of victory, but there were some
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: things within that game where you went, you know what,
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: we had a chance to be right there throwing last
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: punch at the end of the game.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Here's that Houston record. Since they renovated the what was
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: the hoff Hindsvillion and they reopened it in twenty eighteen,
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: they are now one to three and six in the building.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That's ninety four percent. And their current streak with their
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: win against West Virginia, they've won thirty two games in
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: a row there. Going back to the twenty eighth of
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: January twenty twenty three.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: It didn't look like there was a big house still
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: last night, was there?
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: I couldn't a seat seven thousand, seventy one hundred, So
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, it wasn't. It wasn't. Jam Pagett's that's
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: a hard job, man, Like Houston's a you know what.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Houston's big city. And guess what we were walking around there,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: like where we were staying, people are all over the place.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: We were near the medical complexes, and I said, we said,
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you think anyone knows Houston's playing tonight? No, it's not
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: on the radar, man, it's like not on the radar.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: So that state that the arena of seven thousand is
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: perfect for them, but they can get lost if they're
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: not really super good. And I think about that. They're
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: top ten team in the country. They're a team that's
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: got a final four. You would think it would be
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: locked out.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: But it's not, like you said. I mean, in a
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: big the downside of the upside of a big city
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: is it's a big city. There's a lot of things.
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of players, there's this and that. The
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: downside is there's a lot of stuff, so people have
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: other options. And you know, I looked at the Houston
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: newspaper this morning. It wasn't the lead story. No, it
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: wasn't the lead sports story.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Texans are playing man and the Rockets are really good.
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: Rockets are really good. So yeah, okay, a couple other things.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Let's go back to Amani for a second. With those
• 27:33
  Speaker 3: three big threes happy, I think that's big moving forward
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: because of what I said earlier. Now, now upcoming opponents
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: have some more tape on him making those shots. Look
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: at what Amani's done against the best teams West Virginia's
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: played and talking about Houston, Arizona in the latest iteration
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: of that game, Lewisville, and Gonzaga.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: So you take those.
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: Four teams all having great years, three of which are
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: in the top fifteen, two in the top ten, and
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Louisville's having a nice year, they're going to be right
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: in the hunt for second.
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: In that acc.
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: Armani in those four games has ten threes on forty
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: two percent shooting. That's critical moving forward one, just to
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: keep up that performance. Can he keep with a couple
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: of threes per game? Moving forward one? But to the
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: threat of him doing that is really big for this
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: offense in the offensive efficiency moving forward, flip over to
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: Jawan the aforementioned Juwan Roberts. Let's talk about him for
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: a second. You mentioned Hop He was really good in
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: the first half. He was a matchup problem. Again, some
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: of that was by design to let him work one
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: on one rather than just give up open threes. He's
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: had ten or more shot attempts in just five games
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: all season has Roberts. Four of those have been in
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: the last five games he's played. So other teams seeing
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: the same thing, they're trying to not let Crier and
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: Sharp beat you. In four of those last five games
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: where he's had ten or more shots, he's had exactly
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: thirteen shot attempts in the game, which is wild. This
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: is a wild coincidence there. That's his most in the
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: game the two previous games prior to West Virginia. This
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: shows what an outlier that was. In the two previous
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: games he'd shot thirty nine percent and forty six percent
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: from the floor. He shot seventy seven percent against West Virginia.
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: So give him credit. He made the shots last night.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: He also against West Virginia had a season high three turnovers.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: So sometimes you put a really smart plan in place,
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: and that's why you do it, to take advantage of
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: a guy that had been struggling from the floor, and
• 29:29
  Speaker 3: he made some shots last night.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: So credit to him. By the way, Crying Sharp, they
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: some of those jump shots Tony were from downtown Houston.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: I mean those were long shots. The superb yeah, and
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: the other didn't. I might have this wrong. I thought
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: that Hansbury actually had twelve points in a row. Am
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: I wrong about? They had three threes in a row,
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: and then I thought he had a conventional three.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: He might I remember at least nine. He might have
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: had twelve. He might have I remember nine.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: I can check that out.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: Here's another one you mentioned, Crier, Yeah, I ran out
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: of time here four the show start didn't get all
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: the way back. I think I've got the bulk of these.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: I've got him.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: In the last five games against West Virginia, twenty three threes,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: starting in reverse order.
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: From last night, five four.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: In a game twenty twenty three, played twice, he had
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: won three in the first time they met, eight threes
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: in the second time, and then twenty twenty two, one
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: of the matchups he had five.
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: More's you know one of the differences. One of the
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: challenges in this league, going back to staying the obvious,
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: is with this, with this level of competition, when you're
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: playing an average team, what do you hope will happen.
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: They'll screw it up, launch of three, launch a bad three,
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: miss it, you get the rebound. You know, they'll do
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: a stupid foul. At this level of competition, you don't
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: get the typically do not get those kind of breaks.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: They don't screw it up as often as you'd like it.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Like you said, you can have a great plan, like
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: oh that was the plan. It's a good plan. They
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: gotta make shen you go, you gotta go take games.
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: And West Virgin's done that.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: It took It took the Kansas game, it took the
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Colorado game, It took Oklahoma State at home, Arizona took
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: it from West Virginia and Houston.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, dictated, did it last night? So correct.
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Hansbury scored twelve straight West Virginia points. They were down
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: ten forty nine to thirty nine. He hits a three,
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: hits a three, they hit a two. He hits a
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: conventional old school three point play crier missus Hansbury another three,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: and he got it down to fifty one forty eight
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: with twelve thirty six.
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: That's who you were right there. And he got it
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: down to three and they probably went on a run.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: That might have been one of the runs too.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: Let's jump back to Colorado for just a second. I
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: mentioned those the low points off turnovers that West Virginia
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: gave up. That was critical and probably the difference in
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: that game. But go back to Javon Small for a second.
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: In that game, guys twenty six points, seven assists, four rebounds,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: He was electric, an Tony there was a stretch there
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: to begin the second half when he was just simply unguardable,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: and he did it again last night. He is the
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: number one focus to these scouting reports and happy he's
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: out there. He's truly unguardable. He's been unguardable in these games.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: Twenty six for him. Jojiesfu coming through with eighteen in
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: that game was just simply critically a two threes, couple
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: drives to the basket that were big. Eduardo Andre go
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: back to what he did against Colorado. Five of five
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: from the floor in that game, gave you twelve points.
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: He was outstanding. So plenty of efforts to go around
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: over the last couple of games.
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: Absolutely, three guys before the game is brought to us
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: by our good friends at lou Wendell Marine Sales. I
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: was talking to a boating buddy of mine the other day. Yeah,
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: he's looking Oh really, I steered him. I steered him
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: stern side over to lou Wendell Marines Sales. Because now's
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: a great time whether you are in the pontoon world.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: How about these Gator Tough John series boats. They're really
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: really special. What do they give you? Durability, dependability and

• 32:55
  Speaker 1: Great great boats. So if you're a fisher or an
• 32:59

• 33:03
  Speaker 1: our good buddies at lou Wendell Marine Sales. Also in
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: those pontoons avalon pontoon boats. We were talking to someone
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: just the other day had a pontoon. Where were we, dude?
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: We were talking to someone had a pontoon. Oh, Fred,
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: Fred had a pontoon. Fred was on the trip with us.
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: Fred's a Charleston area based guy. So check it out
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: lou Wendelmarne Sales dot com. Time for the preview of
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Iowa state.
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: Is too little one.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: They're good, Thank you very much. We'll be back.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: Oh, I have one thing, that's all I have. Gohead.
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: He really has not changed since he retired.
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: Curtis Jones, go bred, Kirsh Jones really good. I always say.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: It comes in fourth and Ken Palm number two in
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: the poll's highest ranking ever. They own the nation's longest
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: active wind streak at twelve. They're only lost this season
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: was to top ranked Auburn by two. They have been
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: as elite as you can get. Number five defensive efficiency
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: number eight offensive efficiency, and I do think that's the
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: big difference with them. I think there's been times the
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: last couple of years when their offense could get bogged
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: down and couldn't carry them through. I don't think that's
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: the case now. And Curtis Jones is a big reason
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: why he's gonna come in firing twenty five against Kansas. Yeah,
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: he'll come in and he'll get his shots up there.
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: But this is going to be a West Virginia team
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: similar keys to what we just talked about. You're going
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: to have to handle their pressure. You're going to have
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: to handle their traps. You're gonna have to swing the
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: extra pass when they try and pinch you down into
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: one side of the court and eliminate the other side.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: You're going to have to be willing and able to
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: reverse that ball and get some open looks. This will
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: present a real challenge if if you want to try
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: and find glimmers in here. I think you're not wrong
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: when you talked about the situational spot. Come in off
• 34:49
  Speaker 3: a big win against Kansas, you have to go on
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: the road. You're getting a West Virginia team off a
• 34:53
  Speaker 3: loss that'll be anxious to get back home on what
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: will be a big day honoring Jerry West sold out
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: a building. If West Virginia can start and make some
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: shots here early, that that environment is going to be
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: pretty special on Saturday.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Now, big injury news for Iowa State. Milan Mama silovak
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: am I saying that, right.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: That's always a some mono syllabalic problem.
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: Is what it is.
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: One of their one of their best players, six eight
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: frontline player out. It looks like coming up on Saturday.
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: So West Virginia of course has been without Tucker divrees
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: if or out. If he's out again and Milan's out
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: that uh, I don't know if that's advantage West Virginia,
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: but it certainly helps to take one of their very
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: best players out of that lineup.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Didn't slow him down too much last night, did not?
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: Did not?
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, anyway, take your shot, man.
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: Five o'clock is that right?
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: Five o'clock? Yeah, second, one of those we've had this year, right, second,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: five o'clocker, Eastern. It will be in the eastern time,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: so be body clockwise will be four o'clock for the
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: Iowa State. But it'll be a great electric atmosphere. The
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: West family will be here, and it'll be it'll be
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: a great honor just to to you know, give Jerry
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: his well recognized do here.
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: It should be very emotionally. You guys should be proud
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: to be a part of that. You'll be part of
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: that Saturday.
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: That'll be all a special time.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: A couple couple quick numbers, whore you move on here.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: I mentioned it's a similar plan to what you went
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: into with Houston. Points off turnovers is going to be
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: massive on the season West or excuse me, Iowa State
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: gets twenty two points per game off of its turnovers.
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: West Virginia on the season gets fifteen. So again, which
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: of those teams is going to win that part of it?
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Can you turn them over?
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: They've been pretty good, Iowa State has it not turning
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: it over, So you've got to protect it, make that
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: extra pass, and then knock down some open shots. They'll
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: also get on the offensive glass as well, so you're
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: going to have to just like you did last night,
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: which you did a pretty good job last night against
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: Houston and keeping.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: Them off the glass.
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Some of that's they shot so well for the first half,
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: there weren't a lot of opportunities, but I thought Westerndian
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: did a nice job of limiting them.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: At times. You're gonna say something, huh, I'm just gonna
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: say that, Tony. I know that most people listen to
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: you all, some watch on the ESPN plus that they
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: had a problem.
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: That's gonna come up in textual healing. But go ahead,
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: all right, that's fine, No, no, no, go ahead. What did
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: you say?
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: Well, they started the game and all they had was
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: the base baseline camera. Huh, that's all they had. What
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: was the base the first four minutes of the game,
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: just the baseline camera, just a guy run the camera.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: It was like, it was like, you hate to hear that.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: I think our angle is pretty good. All night right
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: from the tap on radio, it was like your it
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: was like your dad shooting home video. I mean, it
• 37:43
  Speaker 2: was just it was all over the vice. No bug
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: with the ses. I'm sure you're already large. Audience increased even.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: More because I hate to hear that.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Almost I almost texted you, guys, but I thought you
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: look at it and goes, stop I'm doing a game.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: Stop texting me.
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: So I didn't you know what my sponse would have
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: been good, I know, I know.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: Would have been good.
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, one last thing, turn live ball turnovers. Yeah, we
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: talked about that a lot. A lot might be the
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: most mentioned term on this show outside of Andy kdle
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: Nicky right right, live ball turnovers.
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Number ten, it's past on the season.
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: Iowa State averages one and a half points per possession
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: off a live ball turnover. So we said Houston was
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: at two last night and it was the difference in
• 38:30
  Speaker 3: the game. Iowa States averages a point and a half.
• 38:33
  Speaker 3: If I do my percentiles for you, that's one hundred
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: percentile if they do that for the season.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: So watch that.
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: What's a high school cheer kids protect that basketball, Protect
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: that basketball.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Cyclone shoots seventy five percent from two off of those turnovers.
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: So key, area, there's a.
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: Lot of My number one key coming up for the
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: game on Saturday is turnovers turnover. Wait a minute, is
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: this a carryover for football? Did it every football game?
• 39:00
  Speaker 3: And I've carried over every basketball game?
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: Well it is. It's relevant and that's obvious. So by
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: the way, you would notice because the West Virginia women's
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: team won last night by turning over their opponent thirty times. Yeah,
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: that's right.
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, coach Kellogg, I'm glad they won that game seventy
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: three forty six.
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: The women won returned beat down. Yes, so it was
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: kind of wild.
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: It was West Virginia's down seven at the end of
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: the first quarter, twenty two to fifteen, and then West
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Virginia says, oh is that right, outscores them sixteen to
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: two in the second quarter. Third quarter it's even eighteen
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: sixteen West Virginia. And then fourth quarter West Virginia twenty
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: four to six. You know why why d D elevation?
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: Colorado was suffering from D elevation.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: Too much oxygen got down to se level.
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: He couldn't handle it. They over twoed.
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: Are we still in the Conley CPA spreads?
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: We're done with that? Would you look at the clock?
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I gotta go wokay one more No, West Virginia's
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: women last night, Yeah, twenty one live ball turnovers one
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: point five to two points per possession.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: So what was it?
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: Twenty one live b turnovers one point five to two
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: points per possession off of those So again, that's why
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: the two parts of that's critical. It's not just getting
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: the turnovers, it's converting into points. Westernians women did that
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: last night.
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: Last night I was watching one of the sports programs
• 40:15

• 41:39
  Speaker 1: a full tank of gas, but I had to stop
• 41:41
  Speaker 1: to get this picture made Dean from Parsons. Now in
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: from of there it is. We're on top of the
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: gas tanks, gas pumps right there. Connection three oh four.
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: Beer of the Month at your local goal Mart. Check
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: it out.
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: I'm still searching. I stopped at a Gomart. Yeah, didn't
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: seem to have it. Yeah, keep looking so I'll stop
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: at you. A ton of It's had a ton of them.
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: Tony Brad Hoppy John and Alabama. After watching Andy Codle
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: Nicky with his offensive performance in that playoff game, zero
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: catches by a wide receiver. Kidding me anyway, I'm excited
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: to see who we land in the portal today. I'm
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: loving this daily WVU excitement. Attached is a picture of
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: a rare snow event in Huntsville Alabama. This snowman will
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: just line up and beat the other sec snowman's in
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: the neighborhood.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Take a look at that thing. Oh my, it's an
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: anemic snowman, very long, very looks like a five man.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: What's that?
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: That's a snowman that's very tall and long. They got
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: to do that. It's a different kind of snow in Alabamas.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Maybe could be a stretch four as well.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: He's a stretch for Yes, Texter, Hello doctor and the
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: other guys. I'm wondering about this new age of college ball,
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: quality of the games, both foot and basketball. As we
• 42:53
  Speaker 1: do more free agency, what's the breakpoint that you're not
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: developing culture and players. We are losing fundamental skills that
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: are overall make the game better. I understand guys need
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: and should get paid, but at what point does the
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: revenue dry up because the quality of the game isn't
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: worth the price of admission? Chris from the Cape formerly
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: a Mullins Never, They'll keep watching it. Fundamentals have been
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: gone from the game for a ton of time. Be
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: quite honest my opinion, they'll keep watching numbers keep showing it. Hey,
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: three guys watching the first half of the Colorado game.
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: You can see the connected effort to get different guys
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: looks a lot of screen. The screener for Powell where
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: he sets a ghost screen on the ball immediately gets
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: a fade screen for a look at three. I know
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: we keep saying this, but seeing the offensive in game
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: adjustments throughout the season, responding to what teams are doing
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: us defensively is great from Devirees, probably why he got
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: named midseason Coach of the Year. Premature to extend him
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: and try to lock him in for a longer period
• 43:51
  Speaker 1: of time, Samy and Morganton.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: The question from you guys. Twice last night twice there
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: were calls of offensive fell in West Virginia for the
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: what we used to call in the old day moving screen?
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: Was that right? Hop? They called a couple of those
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: last night, did they? They called two of those? Huh
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: so is that where? This? Where was it? Well, you
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: guys explained, well, it's two things.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: You can You can literally be moving while you're while
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: you're doing it, which is called you've you've got to
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: be stationary. One of the calls last night they claimed
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: Amani got the elbow extended out on the screen rather
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: than they generally say, if it's tucked within the cylinder
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: of your body, you're probably okay. They claimed it got
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: outside was the other one. That's a really tough call.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: In my opinion.
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: Guys are moving a lot on those screens, and it's
• 44:38
  Speaker 3: hard to in my opinion, hard to tell if it's
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: a moving screen. Guys are great at disguising it because
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: they're they're starting their role part of it as well
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: as those are tough calls to get.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: One of the explanations was that Javon Small had started
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: to use the screen while the screen was still being set.
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: That seemed that seemed very I don't hear that called
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: very often. That seemed pretty nitpicky to me. But you
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: guys explain it, tony.
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: Nitpicky when you're in a game that's an absolute just
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: punch festes, elbows into the back, everything, and you call
• 45:12
  Speaker 1: that ticki tac horse crap, That's what I say.
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: I mean, there's screens on every possession. You don't, as.
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: He always says, don't major in the minors, like if
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: you want to call a file, make sure it is
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: an absolute bang instead of some ticki tach ballet little thing.
• 45:32
  Speaker 1: Next Ted from Colorado Tony was great to visit with
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: you and Brad on Sunday. I was surprised with how
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: much you guys interact with the fans before the game.
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: You're great ambassadors for WVU. There was a common theme
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: as we moved around Boulder on Sunday, and that was this,
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: where did all you people come from? You people West
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Virginia is well represented. Here we go, hop so there's
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: a picture that h.
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: That's him, Here we go.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: That's and Brad. I don't know what he was doing
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: back there. He was posing for an other picture. And
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: then hey, this is a group of Mountaineer fans. Take
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: a look at this next one. But there was a
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: lot more than that, but that was just one contingent. Yeah,
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: and Mountaineer fan turnout was tremendous in West Virginia's first
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: ever hoop game in Colorado, Tony and Brad.
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: Thanks to all that came down talk to us. We
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: had a bunch of them come down and say hello,
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: we'll get their picture made.
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, here's another one. Great to meet you guys in Boulder.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: My son now keeps telling people that he met some
• 46:25
  Speaker 1: super famous dudes and he's going to be on TV.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: So I had to send the pictures that we had
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: made with you. I just wish Brad would have tried
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: to pick me up to match Tony's macho hefting of
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: my boy. I feel like I should have asked the question,
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: how does the CU Events Center rank against other big
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: twelve road venues? Thanks for keeping them Mountaineer at West
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: connected to home with your podcast, Adam and Denver. So
• 46:45
  Speaker 1: there we go. His sign says Tony and Brad, can
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: I be the third guy since Hoppy retire? Right there
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: on the Colorado campus. And then we met that little
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Sparky and his dad later on the inside the Arena's
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: great to see those guys. Yeah, trying to.
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: Get a nice hit the nice Garrett Green coal rush
• 47:09
  Speaker 3: jersey on too, hopy.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I see that. Well done, Thanks Adam.
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: Here's a question from a text about officiating. He says,
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: they're calling traveling different in men's and women's games. Do
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: we notice that there was a traveler two last night
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: against them old boys? That are you kidding me anyway?
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Reagan pitt just don't get me started.
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: What are you saying there were travels that were missed?
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: Greg and Pittsburgh, As you have all said, before winning
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: conference games on the road is hard. Huge win for
• 47:41
  Speaker 1: the guys. One quick note to the senator. You had
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: quite a reaction to Joe Yesfu's and one in the
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: second half that was caught on camera. You look like
• 47:50
  Speaker 1: me in my living room on the play. Hopefully they
• 47:52
  Speaker 1: can play tough against Houston and Iowa State this week
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: keeping things. Did you react?
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: I mean probably?
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: And what are you doing? Do you need an orientation
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: on behavior on the press table? You have to behave yourself.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: What did he do, Tony? He jumps up, really his
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: shirt off, pounded his chest. I thought it was quite unprofessional.
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: He hadn't had anybody that can watch him in the
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: years past. Do you think he's sitting there all stoic.
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: So the poor guy that sits to my right, whoever
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: it may be, is is there's a lot of physical
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: at the physical at the scores table, there's a.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: Lot of movement in there. He's getting to hit on
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: the other side because he's excited. He's excited. I'm excited,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: we're hitting. Move There's a lot of things going on
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: this is but when there's when it's not exciting action.
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: Here's my impression of Tony doing the game. I think
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: I've done this before. Stop. We haven't had a lot
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: of those moments so far this year. It's been good,
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: been good moments. Yeah. I always look for you guys.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Looks like you're pretty tight in here.
• 48:51
  Speaker 1: Usual night. We were on the camera last night, right
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: because we were on the other side, which is fine.
• 48:56
  Speaker 1: Three guys, TC, color Guy and part time Hoppy. Been
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: a busy few months, Coaches fired, coaches, hires, players coming going.
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: I wanted to share an update on Cash. He had
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: his final open heart procedure October the second, spent twenty
• 49:12
  Speaker 1: two days at UPMC before heading home. He's doing great.
• 49:15
  Speaker 1: Even had a little sister that arrived on the planet
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: while we waited to go home. How about that while
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: at UPMC, we got to meet a couple of former Mountaineers,
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Beanie Bishop and Doug Nestor. I think I was more
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: happy than Cash was, But he'll appreciate this later on
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: the road. Jake, if you would show those pictures of
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: the former Mountaineers now Steelers, there's Dougie Nester, and there's

• 49:40
  Speaker 1: after and there's Beanie with them when they came to
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: the hospital. Yeah, they went to UPMC where he was
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: Beanie might have intercepted the kid. What do you think
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: we're having? Beanie got intercepted in there as well. He
• 49:51
  Speaker 1: does that and then he said, and this is that
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: video that I sent to you, Jake. Less than month
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: and a half after he came home from that heart procedure,
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: he went to a Mountaineer football game and he got
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: fired up and was running around in the stands dancing.
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: There he is, that's not great video, but you can
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: see the little guy. There's the little guy off to
