Author: MetroNews March 17, 2026 Duration: 55:52
Monday was a record-setting day for the WVU women’s basketball program—and the Mountaineers didn’t even step on the court.
 
More than 11,000 tickets were sold for West Virginia’s opening round NCAA Tournament game at Hope Coliseum, forcing the athletic department to temporarily pause sales. A sellout for Saturday’s matchup with Miami (Ohio) is now within reach.
 
In this episode, the “Guys” welcome two key members of the Mountaineers into the studio. Senior standouts Jordan Harrison and Sydney Shaw reflect on their season, their careers in Morgantown, and what it means to host NCAA Tournament basketball at home.
 
The talented tandem also answers a series of fun and insightful questions that reveal a side of the players Mountaineer fans don’t always get to see.
 
3 Guys returns Thursday with a full preview of Saturday’s NCAA Tournament game and a look ahead to the upcoming College Basketball Crown tournament involving the WVU men’s team.
