Hello and welcome, ladies and gentlemen to another episode of the three-man weave college basketball podcast, working on some tech issues behind the scenes.

So if you experienced a little bit of that, don't worry about it. It's normal. That's what. That's what happens when we do this. I'm your host this week, Jim Root. I'm joined by Matthew Cox,

Kai McEwen. Matt is down in lovely Florida. Kai and I are in Chicago. And not as bad of

weather as you might think there. We're handling it. Got another wonderful show here coming today,

your usual segments. But Kai, before I really get the intro going, how are you feeling? How are you doing this fine Wednesday? Oh, Jim, I'm doing well. Wednesdays, Wednesdays, busy, busy. Yes, yes. We're doing good. We're doing good, Jim. I'm reading about the XFL. Matt, you know, I'm trying to broaden my horizons.

I'm still a college basketball guy at heart.

I'm excited to talk about college basketball.

Yeah, someday we'll broaden this podcast, folks.

But today, we remain college basketball-centric.

But I love to hear your XFL takes at some point throughout this episode or episodes to come in the future, specifically if they applied to AHA, St. Louis Battle Hawks, the current favorite in the betting market, go Hawks. Coco! Dahl, look at you. You two getting back into football. It's so inspiring. Join me in my Packers world. It's a football town, Jim. It's a football town. Everyone knows.

They're starved for another team in St. Louis. That's what the battlehawks are for. But we're not talking XFL. We are talking college hoops. We've got our normal Roots roundup coming. Got We've saw that three man thoughts, a little weekend preview. your standard three man weave show.

Excited to get into it. Before we do shout out to Jay Pity, our guy for the tunes started off, Joe Pascov.

Also on Instagram, Matt, gave a little bit of content into the desert. Guys, what the hell happened with my story? What the hell happened with that? Like, I looked at it the day after. Our service was horrible at the moment, or in the moment, in the stadium. No, I had some really good footage that just did not post as I hope. So when I post an actual post, a non-story, as I call them tomorrow, you'll see those reflected. But yeah, shouts to Dusty May, big FAU guy all the way in. I bought a shirt says winning in Paradise. That's like kind of their motto. I'm adorning that in Vegas when they play opening around, knock on woods. Don't lose down the stretch. Don't lose down the stretch, Dusty. Love it. Love it, Matthew. Getting the weave boys on board with the owls, hoot,

we are owl boys. Subscribe to the pod on iTunes, Amazon, Spotify, SoundCloud, wherever it is that

you get your podcasts. We appreciate that. And of course, we love reviews, preferably the five-star variety. Hopefully we've delivered that five-star experience to you, but we'll take honest criticism as it comes.

Kai, we got a couple of reviews here. excited to get to those. Gmart 244 says, excellent podcast. If you love college hoops like myself, this is the pod for you. These guys are amazing. Quick question, though, why isn't Jai Lucas getting more looks for the Texas job? Is it mostly because he coached under Shaka and that ship has sailed? Well, Jim, I don't know. I don't know why he's not getting more looks. It's a big job. They're not going to hire a coach with no head coaching experience, in my opinion. Yeah, I think they want a splash hire.

That's kind of a big deal for them.

We'll see where they end up going with it.

And I don't know if Lucas, if you're going to go with a guy that doesn't have the coaching experience,

it's probably going to be Royal Ivy, right?

Like he got the pitch from Kevin Durant.
