Mike Asti and Cody Nespor discuss the start of the Darian DeVries WVU basketball era, a critical stretch to end the season for Neal Brown's team and some future schedule possibilities on this new edition of Mountaineer Report.

WVU breaking news prompted a live edition of Mountaineer Report. Mike Asti and his new co-host Cody Nespor unpacked everything they know about Jordan Lesley being fired while chatting with fans. They also talked about what it means for the Mountaineers moving forward.

To take a brief break from football for a minute, Mike Asti and Ethan Bock discussed the WVU women's basketball team earning a preseason AP ranking and what fans should realistically expect from Mark Kellogg's team in his second year on the job on this episode of Mountaineer Report.

They also talked the polar opposite situation for West Virginia men's basketball team in terms of the national perception and what Darian DeVries needs to show to give fans hope in this new era for the program.

In a battle of two teams in the midst of disappointing seasons, WVU and Arizona will meet for the first time ever on Saturday.

Since the matchup is so difficult to predict between two teams dealing with so many issues, Mike Asti invited Justin Spears, who covers the Wildcats for the Tucson Star and serves as a host with ESPN Tucson, on this preview show edition of Mountaineer Report to discuss the keys and storylines for this pivotal game for both programs.

Neal Brown's comments are making it so no one is talking about the actual game WVU will play this week. So since a game will be played on Saturday no matter what was said, Mike Asti welcomed Katie Maher of WIBW-TV back on Mountaineer Report to preview the matchup with Kansas State.

Maher explained why DJ Giddens is underrated and they talked why this game is actually just as much a must-win for the Wildcats as it is the Mountaineers.

Since it all started with Mike Asti's question, it's only fitting Asti and Ethan Bock discuss the aftermath of what Neal Brown said as a message to the fans. This episode of Mountaineer Report covers every angle of the Brown drama and talks where the Mountaineers go from here.

Adding to the big game feel of the upcoming West Virginia vs. Iowa State matchup, Mike Asti was joined by a popular guest to fans of both programs in former Iowa State softball star Lea Nelson for a preview show edition of Mountaineer Report.

Lea offered some insight on the vibes around the Cyclones this season, gave her keys to the game and even expressed her thoughts about WVU's Coal Rush uniform.

Mike Asti and Ethan Bock tackle the magnitude of the Iowa State game for WVU and what a win would mean for Neal Brown on this episode of Mountaineer Report.
