3 Guys Before The Game
About
The bubble talk is no longer hypothetical.
With six Big 12 games remaining, West Virginia has officially entered the NCAA Tournament at-large conversation. The path is there — but so is the pressure.
Saturday’s gritty, come-from-behind win at UCF may have changed the tone of the season. The Mountaineers showed toughness, late-game execution and the kind of resilience that the selection committee notices. Now comes another opportunity Wednesday night against Utah.
In this episode, the “Guys” break down what flipped the switch in Orlando, analyze the remaining schedule and explain exactly what WVU must do to secure its postseason fate.
Hoppy returns to the studio with a fresh batch of Obvious Observations, and listener questions and comments close the show with Textual Healing.
The stretch run is here.
