And it's Gary Parish. It's Monday, December 19th. Welcome back to the Iron Cowards Basketball

podcast. I got Matt Norlander with me. It's been a few days since we last talked. We're

are. For those that actually got in this early, subscribe to the podcast and iTunes.

We saw a pop on your phone before you went to bed on Monday night, shout out to the

hard course. And yeah, what do you want to lead with that? Well, we got a lot of things

to get to, right? Like I said, I was in Vegas. So I saw what I believe was the most impressive

individual performance I've ever seen from a college basketball player in person. And
