| 0:08.9 | where we sometimes discuss camera fighting Dota Birds and Leaky Black. Matt Norlander is |
| 0:13.3 | here with me. If you're watching on YouTube, smash the like button like your brain and |
| 0:16.7 | devies you have considering if you haven't yet subscribed to the CBS Sports College Basketball |
| 0:21.2 | YouTube channel. Also do that while you're here. Let's get into it. Today we are continuing |
