| 0:12.5 | basketball podcast. Matt Norlander is here with me and we will preview some of the |
| 0:16.8 | weekend's top games in this episode among them. Duke Florida State Ole Miss Mrs. Sympi |
| 0:21.3 | State but first, Marcus Howard. But a great week for incredible individual performances. |
| 0:27.1 | On Tuesday night, Zion Williamson became the only division one player in the past 20 |
| 0:32.2 | years to post a line with 30 points 10 rebounds, five assists and four steals while shooting |
