3 Guys Before The Game

One game remains on the home schedule for the West Virginia University basketball team.

Regardless of what time it is, the Mountaineers are hoping their last time on the home court will produce a victory. A lack of consistency has become a recurring theme for the Mountaineers, who fell to Texas Tech 81-70 after leading at halftime.

In this episode, the "Guys" explain what went wrong against the Red Raiders and what needs to go right against the Horned Frogs.

It's late in the college basketball regular season, but there's still one Big 12 team West Virginia University hasn't played. That changes on Saturday when the Red Raiders of Texas Tech visit the WVU Coliseum.

It's been a successful season for first-year coach Grant McCasland, but the visitors have recently stumbled. The Red Raiders (19-9, 8-7) have lost two straight and three of their last four. Like many teams, Tech has struggled on the road, losing six of eight games.

West Virginia is hoping a return home will be the remedy they need. The Mountaineers dropped games at Iowa State last Saturday and Kansas State on Monday.

In this episode, Brad Howe and Tony Caridi analyze the analytics on Saturday's game and present their blueprint for victory.
