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.
