    3 Guys Before The Game - Arizona Game Preview (Episode 606)
    The surprising season of West Virginia's basketball team continues to produce even more surprises. 

    On Monday, WVU was ranked in the Top-25 for the first time this season.  That's an amazing accomplishment for a team that did not return a single player from last season's squad. 

    Saturday's win over Oklahoma State was another example of tenacious defense and timely shooting.  Next up, a rematch with the Arizona Wildcats.  West Virginia defeated Arizona in overtime in a non-conference game in November.  This one will count and the 'Cats will be looking for revenge. 

    In this episode, the "Guys" breakdown the analytics to Saturday's win and preview Tuesday's game.
