And welcome back, ladies and gentlemen to yet another edition of the three-man weave college basketball podcast.

Staring through the Skype machine are my two cohorts, as always, Mr. Jim

Root, Mr. Kai McKee, and they have not graduated to any sort of surname more advanced

than that, although I maybe someday will be doctors or sirs of England of some sort.

But right now we are all very much in the peasant, Mr. surname, Kai, I'll lead with you. How are you doing today? Matt, I'm doing just fine. It's a lovely brisk day in Chicago. There's snow on the ground. Snowy down here, yes, it is. Yeah, a little chilly out there. Matt, I see you're quite bundled up. You're wearing a be a beanie and a hoodie. Must be cold in there. The floor to ceiling windows, man, FTCs. Yeah, they're right in front of my... Just on the opposite side of the screen, heat has been cranking all day. Doesn't quite seem to be doing its job. Jim, I haven't checked the weather forecast in Vegas. I would presume there's no snow on the ground there. I just pulled it up. It's 54 degrees, mostly sunny. I might go for a little jaunt, but you know, I got to make sure I have long sleeves on if I do go outside. You know, don't want to get too chilly. Yep, I can't relate. It's going to be a blizzard, an Arctic tundra here from the next couple months.

But, you know, all the more incentive to dig in to college hoop. I am dawning my brown

beanie right now supporting my St. Bonaventure Bonnies as they take on Rhode Island. So hopefully

at a time listening to this, I will be a happier individual if they cover plus two.

The outline, it's pretty standard, folks. We got rounded, we got Rootsy Roundup, we got three-man

thoughts, we got game previews in that order. But at first, let's promote ourselves, promote

others that promote us. Joe Pascoff, aka J. Pity, just want to say hello, as we always do. I miss you. Hope you're doing well out there. Wherever you are. Hope he's doing good. I hope he's doing good. I hope he's doing good. I hope that we record this podcast for the next 50 years and none of us talk to Joe for that time. And we continue to say hello and ask about him. And he appears somewhere somewhere and maybe in the review board.

Yeah, we gotta get it just like a one-time guest like 10 minute. Yeah, just to prove he exists. I don't really care about college basketball. I'll be like, this is a great interview. Perfect. Let's do this. It's kind of like my imaginary friend Mitch that you guys don't think is real. I just want to prove that Joe Pascoff exists to listeners. He is. He's a real human being.

Subscribe to the podcast on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, among other platforms, and a pretty

robust set of reviews, although bittersweet. We did receive one of the penny one-star variety.

We will make this guy a Penaata.

Kai, run through these now.

Yeah, we will, Matt.

Because you know how I respond to criticism.

I dislike it.

Yeah, no.
