Welcome back into another episode of the three-man weave college basketball podcast.

We are back.

We are watching basketball.

We are betting on basketball. We are getting angry at missed free throws, referees, you know, everything. It's all kind of semi,

somewhat normal. It's very exciting. I'm Jim Rood. I am the host for the evening. I'm looking

through my Zoom machine at Kai McEwen, who has got a very loose fitting sweatshirt on right now. Same one as you, Jim. So take it easy, buddy. Yeah, the Mizzou Boys are matching. Big, big game for the Tigers tonight, basically while this podcast is being recorded. We also have Matt Cox, who is very excited about his Hoosiers, his alma mater, got a big win today.

So that's definitely that.

I love the little like mini villages.

I am such a fan of those.

Yeah.

All right.

We are going to be talking some reflections from the first week of basketball that was.

The old three man thoughts is back for all of our frequent listeners.

Yes.

We'll cycle through some takeaways.

And we'll have some game previews at the end.

Those might be a little quicker this time around just because we have our SBR show Monday through Friday that you'll be hearing our voices on if you're able, if you're interested.
