Hey there, it's Gary Parish. It's Friday, November 4th, and this is the eye on college

0:12.0

basketball podcast. I got met Noirlander with me. The college basketball season tips exactly

0:16.3

one week from tonight. It's almost here. Thank God I'm going to be at the veterans'

0:20.5

classic for the third straight year. Always cool to visit the United States Naval Academy.

0:25.1

And I'm confident we will talk about that a little bit next week. But in the meantime,

0:29.5

what surprisingly, biggest story in college basketball this week has actually been former
