3 Guys Before The Game

WVU football has entered week three of spring practice drills. Is it too early to predict what next season's team will be able to accomplish? The "Guys" answer that question and share some love for the nationally ranked West Virginia baseball team. And, the first time was so nice, they're going to do it twice! Details of the 3 Guys Live Event on April 21 are released. Tickets go on sale Wednesday,...

Yes we know its spring, but that's not stopping 3 Guys from kicking off its annual summer series of guest interviews. Brad and Tony stay local (sort of) with their first guest. Former Mountaineer, Chase Harler, joins the show from Hungary where he's currently playing professional basketball. The "Guys" get great insight into playing overseas both on and off the court. Mountaineer football conversa...

There's no game to preview or recap, so what does 3 Guys do? Well, just like the teams and athletes they cover, they put in the work! In this episode, Brad and Tony dive into multiple topics, from Mountaineer football to WVU baseball and the weekend's NCAA tournament results. (Was that a foul?) The "Guys" also provide Textual Healing as they share listener questions and comments.

If you're in the mood for a multi-topic episode, the "Guys" have you covered. Brad, Hoppy and Tony discuss WVU spring football, women's basketball coaching searches and a hot dog pie. (That's right, a hot dog pie) Brad, Hoppy and Tony also reveal what allowed Texas and Kansas State to reach the Sweet 16. Listener questions and comments complete the show.

The basketball season is over, but it's a busy time for the West Virginia University Athletic Department. The head coaching position is open in the women's basketball program and Spring Football practice is ready to begin. In this episode, the "Guys" deliver their assessment of the WVU men's basketball season and look ahead to the coaching search and the start of football practice. Listener questi...

Mission accomplished! The West Virginia men and women's basketball teams are NCAA bound. Now, the big question: can either team advance? We'll find out starting Thursday when Bob Huggins' Mountaineers meet Maryland in Birmingham, Alabama. In this episode, the "Guys" take a deep look into how the Terrapins like to play and what WVU must do to win. Listener questions and comments complete the episod...

They did it! With odds stacked against them, the West Virginia University basketball team has positioned itself to reach the NCAA tournament. Saturday's victory over No. 11 Kansas State propels WVU into this week's Big 12 Championship with a boost of confidence. West Virginia will meet Texas Tech in the tournament's opening game on Wednesday night. The winner advances to meet top-seeded Kansas in...

And then there was one. Just one game remains in the regular season for West Virginia's basketball team. (And, it's a biggie) WVU would likely guarantee itself a spot in the NCAA tournament if they beat No. 11 Kansas State on Saturday in Morgantown. The Mountaineers lost to the Wildcats in their first Big 12 Conference game back on December 31st. Missed free throws and turnovers led to the defeat....

The Mountaineer basketball team recorded its guttiest win of the season at Iowa State. (Yeah!) Was that enough to lift WVU into the NCAA tournament field? That question remains unanswered, but could be determined with a home win Saturday against No. 11 Kansas State. In this episode, the "Guys" review the Mountaineers two-game road trip and answer listener texts and questions. Brad and Tony also ce...

It's travel time for the Mountaineer basketball team. WVU plays at Kansas on Saturday and at Iowa State on Monday night. This final regular season road trip provides great opportunities and great challenges. A win against either of the nationally ranked opponents would be invaluable to WVU's NCAA tournament resume. A pair of losses will leave them perilously close to missing the tournament. In thi...

Yes, the Mountaineer basketball team is still swinging. Just two days removed from its worst loss of the season, WVU dealt an early knockout to Oklahoma State on Monday night on its way to an 85-67 victory. The win keeps West Virginia's fragile NCAA hopes alive with three regular season games remaining. In this episode, the "Guys" explain the good and bad in recent games against Texas Tech and the...

The margin of error for the West Virginia basketball team is very thin. (Really, really thin!) The Mountaineers must win at least three of their final five games to have a legitimate chance for an invite to the NCAA tournament. The first two obstacles are Texas Tech and Oklahoma State. WVU hosts the Red Raiders on Saturday and then entertains the Cowboys on Monday night. They may not be "must-win"...

It was a trip to Texas the Mountaineer basketball team would like to forget. Losses to No. 6 Texas and No. 9 Baylor put WVU's NCAA tournament chances into question. The Mountaineers must win three of their final five games to meet the minimum requirement for consideration. That means WVU must record at least three victories over Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, No. 5 Kansas, No. 19 Iowa State or No. 12...

West Virginia against Iowa State was not a pretty basketball game. Who cares? It was a basketball game, not a trip to an art museum. The only thing that matters is who wins. WVU accomplished its mission! The victory over the No. 11 Cyclones keeps West Virginia's hopes for an at-large to the NCAA tournament alive. However, the Mountaineers still have work to do. They must win at least four of their...

A big win calls for a BIG episode. The "Guys" go into overtime with their recap of Saturday's win over Oklahoma and preview of Wednesday's date with Iowa State. But wait, there's more! Former WVU standout Nathan Adrian joins the show from Italy with an update on his season for Unieuro Forli. The Morgantown native has returned from injury and is posting impressive numbers. Listener texts and commen...

The Mountaineer basketball team again finds itself in a precarious position. Tuesday's loss to No. 15 TCU makes Saturday's home game against Oklahoma extremely important for WVU and its postseason chances. The Sooners romped over No. 2 Alabama last Saturday, but suffered a double-digit loss to rival Oklahoma State on Wednesday. Which version of the Mountaineers and Sooners will show up Saturday ni...

Has the Mountaineer basketball team rediscovered the recipe for victory? After losing five straight games in the Big 12, the Mountaineers have now won three of their last four. Saturday's triumph over No. 15 Auburn sends WVU into Tuesday's game at nationally ranked TCU with much needed momentum. The Horned Frogs will enter the game with the status of leading scorer Mike Miles in question. He suffe...

The streak is FINALLY over. (Yeah!) Wednesday's victory at Texas Tech gave West Virginia its first Big 12 road victory in over 700 days. The streak-snapping 76-61 victory came in a most unconventional way. Consider that 65% of the Mountaineers offense came from reserve players, and that 68% of WVU's shot attempts were from three-point distance. Throw in 19 turnovers and you've got a weird win. But...

The Mountaineer basketball team has 12 games to play in the regular season. However, this week's two games may go a very long way in determining this squad's fate. WVU plays at Texas Tech on Wednesday and hosts No. 15 Auburn on Saturday. The results of those games will either give the Mountaineers hope or leave them hopeless. West Virginia has just one victory in the last month. In this episode, t...

It was just what the Mountaineers needed. West Virginia's victory over No. 14 TCU shows the Mountaineers can win meaningful games when they play efficiently. Now the question. Can they do it again? In this episode, Brad and Tony review the victory over the Horned Frogs and preview Saturday's date with No. 7 Texas. Listener texts and comments complete the show.

When will things turn positive for the West Virginia University basketball team? The Mountaineers are winless in their first five Big 12 games after Saturday's loss at Oklahoma. Things won't get easier this week as No. 14 TCU and No. 7 Texas visit the Coliseum. In this episode, the "Guys" review their Oklahoma keys to the game and look ahead to the fast paced attack of TCU. Senior Mike Miles, the...

The game of basketball can be both simple and complex. One of the basics is being able to put the ball in the basket. Unfortunately, for the West Virginia Mountaineers, the inability to shoot has left them winless in their first four Big 12 Conference games. Wednesday's loss to Baylor was the latest example of poor shooting. WVU is currently last in the Big 12 in field goal percentage and three-po...

Is it too early for "must win"? After losing to No. 2 Kansas on Saturday, West Virginia is now 0-3 in Big 12 play. A loss Wednesday at home to Baylor would be a massive setback for the Mountaineers. In this episode, the "Guys" discuss what went wrong against the Jayhawks and what must go right against the Bears. Listener texts and questions complete the show along with a review of last Friday's un...

The West Virginia basketball team has both a great challenge and an opportunity as it heads into Saturday's game against No. 3 Kansas. WVU (10-4) stumbled and bumbled on the road suffering losses at Kansas State and Oklahoma State to open Big 12 play. The Mountaineers now return home for games with the Jayhawks and Baylor Bears. It's time for Big Boy Big 12 basketball. In this episode, the "Guys"...

The Mountaineer basketball team has dug a hole just two games into Big 12 Conference play. Consecutive losses, in winnable games, to Kansas State and Oklahoma State leave the Mountaineers with more questions than answers. In this episode, the "Guys" review the two games and discuss what must change. WVU hosts No. 3 Kansas on Saturday and No. 19 Baylor next Wednesday. Listener questions and comment...
