Well, let's go to Morgantown, check in on the Mountaineers with Mike Casaza. He is with

ears sports covering the West Virginia Mountaineers, of course, part of the 24-7 Sports Network.

He's on Heartland College Sports Weekly, part of Heartland Collegellege Sports.com. I'm Pete Mundo.

Mike, let's start on the hardwood.

This team had a heck of a game on Monday night taking on Texas Tech.

And when you look back on that game and this team and kind of how this season is gone,

does that game on Monday night in some ways feel like a turning point for this team

in this very strange COVID season?

You know, Pete, I want to say yes because, well, they can't win the big 12 without it. I'm still

not sure they can. And it's a lot better than the alternative. And I say that because a loss

would be really bad. But they've had such a

problem with, you know, the pause for two weeks. And, you know, they've lost some, some games

against good teams. They really went at it with Baylor. And that was a one possession game late and a

bad block charge kind of cost of points. Could have been, I think, a one point game. Instead,

it was street throws the other way. And it goes to the number one team in the country.

They were leading Texas, which was number four, and lost on a last second shot.

They came back from 20 down against Oklahoma and almost won.

So, you know, their four losses kind of come with some, you know, only one against Kansas is a bad one so far.

So they've been really close. And I think to have a lead that was double digits and to fall down double digits

and to get back in the game and have a chance to shoot and win and get it means a lot.

However, the schedule is absurd coming up.

They play five games in 11 days.
