Oh yes, welcome back.

Ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls to another episode of the Three Man Weep College

Basketball podcast, Matthew Cox, coming hot and heavy through the airwaves.

Kai McKee and Jim Root are my cohorts, as they have been for, oh, how many episodes are we at now, guys?

We hit our, oh, gosh, or something.

We've crossed the quartermark of the 1000, the Millennium Chase.

But yeah, we're a week away, actually less than a week away from tip off of the 2023 collegiate basketball

season. And with that upon us, we're going to talk today, bold predictions, lead eight,

final four, national title, all Americans, and we'll probably just make fun of each other.

And Banchol, like usually do, the usual format applies. Kai, I'll go to you first. I don't really care how Jim's doing. I know how he's doing. He's better, but we kind of get the sense of what's going on with his life behind the scenes. How are you? Matt, I'm doing great. I'm heading to St. Louis this weekend. Check in with the folks before the college basketball storm comes upon us. As usual, I'm excited

for the season to start. I can't wait. Monday is a huge slate before it gets pretty reasonable

afterwards, but can't wait, Matt, as usual. Jim, I'm just kidding. How's rehab going, King?

No, you don't care. Let's talk basketball. No, people care. A couple people care. Hey, rehab's great.

I've done some elliptical. I've done some leg press. Really starting to get activated on the leg,

Matthew. I'm wearing the brace less and less. It's very encouraging. It's weird the little

victories at how exciting they are, like walking on a treadmill without a brace is a giant win.

And you know what?

That's okay.

Got to take one step at a time figuratively and literally.

Yeah, it's kind of a bummer.

You really overshadowed my under the knife nasal reconstruction surgery, which was felt

like a pinprick, I would assume, to ACL rehab.
