Yo, I’m going to be out of town this weekend. I think. I should be able to get to PIT. I’m not sure about getting back to town Sunday. But quite likely I’ll be gone when that big storm rolls through here. If the roads are a beyond-defense mess, I’ve got a torch and a pitchfork in my garage. I’d be happy to tell you where the key is. (So would Texas, which needed a police escort to get here and didn’t arrive until 6:15 p.m. This is nuts!)

Moving on, the crowd’s going to be … not as inspired to make this trek as it was for last week’s game against then-not-struggling Kansas. And Cam Ridley isn’t someone you need to worry about tonight, which is great news for Devin Williams, who’s had issues with Ridley and his size for as long as they’ve run into one another in the Big 12.

The 6-foot-10, 290-pound Ridley is out with a broken foot. He’s averaged 8.9 points and 7.6 rebounds in five games against WVU and made — deep breath — 26 of 37 shots. He played 25 and 8 minutes the first two times these teams plays, but he had 12, 17 and 19 points in games the past two years and shot 20-for-26 in those three games.

“Wait until you see Prince Ibeh,” WVU coach Bob Huggins said. “He plays real big. He’s a great shot-blocker. He’s struggled to make shots. But he’s as good a shot-blocker, probably the best shot-blocker in our league.”

Connor Lammert is also still around, and he’s 6-10 and 235 pounds, “a pick-and-pop guy,” who can hurt you on the perimeter but also spring guards for drives. The Mountaineers have not yet seen Shaq Cleare, the Maryland transfer who’s played more in the absence of Ridley. He’s never rebounded a lot, but he’s always shot a high percentage.

“It’s not like they don’t still have size,” Huggins said, knowing that trait above all else led to the losses — and the sweep in 2014 — in the 3-4 Big 12 record against the Texas.

Williams is averaging 10.8 points and 7.6 rebounds and just 21.8 minutes per game in Big 12 play. He’s had single-digit points and rebounds twice, and he was noticeably ineffective (with an explanation) Saturday in the loss to Oklahoma.

“We’ve just got to keep Devin on the floor,” Huggins said. “Devin’s one of the premier rebounders, not just in this league, but in the country. Him playing 15 minutes is detrimental to the way we rebound the ball.”

And yet, despite the presence of all those big guys, the eye on Williams and what he can or can’t do in the absence of Ridley or the presence of the officials, the bump in playing time for Elijah Macon and the overlooked strides of Esa Ahmad, we ought not look in the frontcourt. This might be about the guards.

Texas has a good one in fun-to-watch Isaiah Taylor, who’s second in the league in scoring in Big 12 games. Huggins believes Taylor is the best point guard in the league.

“I like everything about him,” Huggins said. “He understands when people are coming open and he gets the ball to them. He’s the best guy in our league at pushing the ball. He’s got the best mid-range game in our league. He’s just really good. He’s good defensively. He hasn’t shot a bunch of 3s, but he’s capable.”

He has has not because he doesn’t need to. Taylor’s skill is that he stays away from the defense and doesn’t allow himself to be covered or covered up when he gets the ball.

“He shoots it before the size gets there,” Huggins said. “He does a great job stopping and shooting floaters.”

But the worry for Huggins is Javan Felix, a classic talisman player.

“He’s played really well against us,” the coach said. “For whatever reason, he’s always made shots against us, from his freshman year on. I don’t think he’s ever had a bad game against us.”

Not entirely inaccurate, but Felix does that to coaches.

Felix was a no-factor last year, scoring seven points on 3-for-8 shooting with two assists and nine turnovers. But in the two years before that, Felix was hot. He averaged 15 points, made 31 of 54 shots and 10 of 25 3-point attempts and had 15 assists in five games.

He’s far better at home than on the road, but when he plays well, Texas generally wins. These Longhorns are 8-3 when he reaches double figures.

The guard to watch, though, might be Daxter Miles, who’s lost his shot and who was made to take a seat a few times Saturday as Huggins has grown increasingly upset with his offensive selection (77 2-point shots at 45.7 percent, 63 3-point shots at 27 percent).

“It’s not that he shoots too much,” Huggins said. “He doesn’t make enough. Look at his numbers for the year. His numbers for the year aren’t very good.”

This would be a very good time to change that.
