Two national experts overlooked WVU basketball in recent rankings.

Shortly after the news broke that the NCAA Tournament field would officially be expanding to 76 teams, ESPN's Joe Lunardi released an early Bracketology prediction. Surprisingly, WVU basketball was not included. Couz gives his thoughts on that.

CBS Sports' Jon Rothstein also omitted WVU men's basketball from his most recent. Live 45 preseason rankings.

All of this on the heels of Ross Hodge having one of the best offseasons in Mountaineer basketball history.

Are they trolling WVU fans? Did they just forget West Virginia exists? Couz talks about all of that in this episode.

He also talks about the official reveal of the 2026 Player's Era Tournament that will take place this Fall in Las Vegas. West Virginia may face some tough, but exciting opponents in this event. Couz will explain the details and what it all means for WVU fans.
