    Being a WVU alum in Pittsburgh, it’s great to have a resource like Tony and the guys to keep tabs on what’s going on at WVU and in the Mountain State.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sportsline for Sunday, June 28. 2026
Q: How has the US Senior Open field shaped Jonathan Clark's approach to the tournament?
Clark explained the focus on driving accuracy and course management, acknowledging the competition's depth and his goal to make the weekend while recognizing the level of players in the field.
Sportsline for Tuesday June 16, 2026
Q: Greg Carey, WVU MetroNews. Steve, have you settled on a pitching plan? Can you just take us through some of the options available for Wednesday?
Sabins indicates they haven't finalized it yet, with several reliable arms in contention and a plan to decide tonight based on how Montessa and others performed today and rest availability.
Sportsline for Tuesday June 16, 2026
Q: Justin Jackson with the Dominion Post. Coach, you're kind of explaining the thought process of starting Montessa. Can you talk about whether or not that was a short discussion, a long discussion, analytically driven or gut decision?
Sabins explains it was a concise, workload-based decision among a small group, prioritizing pitchers who could handle a heavy workload and provide four to five innings while preserving arms for later games.
Sportsline For Sunday May 31, 2026
Q: Dawson, when did you know you had your stuff today and could take on the big moment?
After the first inning, two punchies and a short fly ball, I felt I had my stuff and knew I had to battle to give us a chance; the confidence built as the game progressed and the team fed off that energy.
Sportsline For Sunday May 31, 2026
Q: Steve, what did you see in Kentucky that might change how you approach the next games?
We had a solid read on Kentucky's offensive philosophy and saw that yesterday's sloppy game with many free passes could be capitalized on by playing cleaner, with more disciplined defense and sharper hitting; today we needed grit and depth, especially with our bullpen, to survive the late pressure.
