After a rough start to Virginia's California road trip, Preston is joined by Mike Barber to take stock of where the Cavaliers stand during their worst start to a season since 2008-09.

First, Preston and Mike recap a late night at Cal where UVA saw their second half struggles continue and they discuss the reason for those post-halftime meltdowns. Mike also explains the reasons behind Isaac McKneely's struggles this season after the guard's worst game since his freshman season. Finally, why this California road trip was a huge opportunity for the Cavaliers and why it could put a nail in the coffin.

Later Preston and Mike ponder the reasons UVA fans should continue to watch this season like young players, the chance for a memorable win and more. Then the guys get into the Christian Bliss saga floating around the program after Ron Sanchez's comments earlier in the week. Finally, a quick dive into the latest transfer portal commits for UVA football and Mike's thoughts on JMU offensive lineman Tyshawn Wyatt.
