Summary
West Virginia hosts No. 19 BYU on Saturday inside Hope Coliseum in a matchup between two programs trying to steady themselves in the rugged Big 12. WVU has dropped three straight, while the Cougars have lost six of their last nine.
Even with an injury to standout Richie Saunders, BYU arrives with likely No. 1 NBA Draft pick AJ Dybantsa, who’s pouring in more than 25 points per game. The Cougars rank second in the league in scoring.
Can West Virginia slow the tempo, defend at a high level, and protect home court?
In this episode, the “Guys” preview the matchup and break down what went wrong on the recent road swing through TCU and Oklahoma State.
Hoppy delivers Obvious Observations, and listener questions and comments close the show with Textual Healing
