  • Game Four - SMU (Fort Myers Tip-Off SF)

  • The Exclusive Season?

    This is a basketball podcast, but I start with my reaction to the WVU/Houston football game. What a crazy game.

    For basketball, a spreadsheet in Connecticut has determined that WVU's 2023-24 season will mostly be experienced on ESPN+. The early computer rankings have WVU in the bottom half of the Big 12. Is that going to make the 2023-24 WVU Basketball season feel like an exclusive club? Let's process the early WVU predictions and spin them into a postive.

  • Thanks a lot, Steve! (No way, Jose!)

    Another change has happened to the WVU Men's Basketball Roster. This change, along with many other events in the last 12 months, could only happen with one coaching change in the Bronx two weeks before the start of the 2022-23 basketball season. How does this change affect the remaining roster? Listen as I try to figure it out.

  • Good News (Or A Reprieve From Bad News)

    The 30-Day Transfer Portal closed. The Big 12 Schedule Matrix was favorable to WVU. WVU picked up a big man from the portal. Jose Perez returned. Best Virginia won their 1st Round TBT. I'm filing all of these events as...GOOD NEWS!

    Also, I share my attempt at recording a podcast when the bad news was happening earlier this month.

  • Addio Italia

    If there were only 6 guys on the roster in a home game, would you let the bench guy run out on the carpet in the Coliseum? Is losing 5 guys (currently) to the portal actually the best case scenario for roster retention? Does it matter to you that the blue heart comes before the gold heart in the transfer portal thank yous?

    A lot has happened in the two weeks since Bob Huggins was fired. There was a coaching search. There was an interim Head Coach named. Also, a transfer portal opened. Players entered. One returned. One left. Some are still in the portal. Some may still enter. We've got some answers, but there are still a lot of questions. Let's talk about the hiring of Interim Head Coach Josh Eilert and a roster update on a new episode of Unreasonable Doubt.
