WVU needed a late run and overtime to get past Stanford in Las Vegas. Josh breaks down how the Mountaineers found a way to advance on Unreasonable Doubt.

We’ve watched this team for 30+ games now. At this point, if they were a band, we’d have the setlist memorized.

They build a lead. They lose it. The offense looks clean for a stretch, then completely stalls out. Somebody makes something ridiculous late — or they don’t. That’s been the season.

That’s what this game was too.

WVU beat Stanford 82-77 in overtime to move on in Las Vegas. It looked exactly like you thought it would. The difference is, for once, it didn’t fall apart at the end.

In this episode:

• The “band playing the hits” analogy — and why this game felt like a full-season recap in one night.
• WVU outscoring Stanford 9-1 in the final stretch to force overtime.
• Honor Huff doing what he’s done all season: take the ball late and make something happen.
• Two made threes all night — and why it didn’t matter.
• Why being one of the few teams still playing in April actually means something, even here.

One thing worth nothing:

WVU hadn’t won a game in overtime all season. They hadn’t won a neutral-site game, either. Both of those changed in Las Vegas and now they’re one win away from playing for a postseason title, whatever this tournament ends up meaning.
