| 0:00.0 | Alright, this is Gary Parrish again from CBS Sports and it's now Wednesday, September 23rd |
| 0:15.1 | and this is the Ion College Basketball Podcast. |
| 0:17.5 | I'm joined today per usual by my colleagues Matt Norlander and Sam Bessini and it's been |
| 0:22.0 | on a pretty quiet week in the world of college basketball. |
