Summary

Gary Parrish and Matt Norlander touch on plenty in this hour-long episode. They start with Joel Berry's hand injury at UNC. It happened playing video games. And now UNC is going to be a much different team for at least a month. They also discuss Miami coach Jim Larranaga's recent comments about the FBI investigation and offer up their latest thoughts. From there, the guys discuss the roaring success that was the Missouri-Kansas exhibition game, then ask: Why can't these exhibition tours be an annual thing, and why can't Kansas get over itself and play Mizzou every year? Norlander and Parrish wrap the pod by talking for 15 minutes about Norlander's annual ranking of all 351 teams in college basketball. Who's surprisingly high? Who's maybe too low? There's a ton to unwrap. To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Hey there, it's Gary Tarris. It's Wednesday, October 25, 2017. Welcome back to the ION College
0:15.4	Basketball Podcast. We got Matt Norlander with me and before we get into it, I want to
0:20.0	thank everybody for the kind words about the recent podcast. ESPN's Jay Billis has been
0:25.0	really nice about helping expose our conversations to a new group of people. If you're one of them,
0:31.1	welcome and know that we appreciate you being here. And please, if you haven't subscribed yet,
0:36.4	go over to iTunes when you get a chance and subscribe and rate the ION College Basketball
0:42.3	Podcast. I won't pretend to know exactly how all of that matters, but my understanding is that
0:46.7	it matters to some significant degree. So if you could do that, even right now, why are you listening,
0:51.3	that would be super cool. Just please go subscribe to the ION College Basketball Podcast.
0:55.5	Rate it favorably and if you do that, we'll owe you forever. Anyway, the start of the
1:02.1	regular season is now. I did the math on it, Norlander. Just 16 days away, champions classic,
1:06.8	20 days away, PK 80, Phil Knight, invitationless, just 29 days away. So the game, they're not too far away,
1:13.7	thank Lord. And already the sport is dealing with some significant injuries to key players on
1:19.0	relevant teams, none bigger than Joel Berry, who has a broken hand at North Carolina.
1:25.6	North Carolina announced that earlier in the week and the announcement did not say how he broke his
1:32.7	hand or where he broke his hand or where it broke his hand. All it said was that he suffered a
1:37.0	broken bone in his right hand and is scheduled to miss approximately four weeks. And immediately,
1:44.9	that sounded fishy to me because I don't know if you know, but North Carolina played Memphis in a
1:49.9	scrimmage last Friday night at FedEx Forum. And I did notice in that that Joel Berry only played 21
1:56.6	minutes. So I said, my initial thought was, okay, well, maybe he heard it against Memphis and then
2:00.6	Roy just, you know, pulled him out of the game after 21 minutes. Turns out I was told that wasn't true.
2:05.1	I talked to somebody who was at that scrimmage. They said, no, Joel Berry was fine. He just only played 21
