3 Guys Before The Game – WVU Football vs Kansas and WVU Basketball Game Recap (Episode 755)


The forecast calls for football weather. The stakes call for something considerably hotter.

When West Virginia and Kansas meet Saturday at Milan Puskar Stadium, both teams will arrive carrying the weight of seasons that haven’t unfolded as expected.

But disappointment hasn’t eliminated opportunity.

For the Mountaineers, a victory would mean bowl eligibility and another step toward salvaging a season that has delivered its share of frustration. For the Jayhawks, the trip to Morgantown offers another opportunity to change the direction of their season.

The temperatures will be cold. The urgency won’t be.

In this episode, the “Guys” examine the matchup, dig into the numbers and identify a path to victory for West Virginia.

The conversation also shifts to the basketball court, where the Mountaineers improved to 3-0 with Thursday’s victory over Mercer. The crew breaks down the performance and what the unbeaten start reveals about Ross Hodge’s team.

Hoppy Kercheval delivers his Obvious Observations, while Brad Howe goes deeper into the analytics with Spreads on Stats.

Listener questions and comments complete the episode with Textual Healing.

The “Guys” return Sunday with a football recap and a preview of next week’s Players Era tournament in Las Vegas.

3 Guys Before The Game is sponsored by – Jan Dils Attorneys at Law,  GoMart, Lou Wendell Marine Sales, Tudor’s Biscuit World  and Conley CPA Group.
