Welcome to the Three Men Weave College Basketball podcast.

Kai, Jim and Matt are here who once again take you through another conference on our conference preview bonanza prior to the start of the college

basketball, 2023, 24 season. Fellows, we are, I believe, 19 days away from the tip of that glorious

season on November 6th. Matthew, are you just so excited? You look great today, by the way. Thank you. Saw you guys last night. Solid silver medal performance for the trivia squad. Nice job, us. Yeah, I know we're not happy unless we win at all. I know that's kind of the bar we set for ourselves, but I think we should be very proud of what we did. And today is the Big Bad 10. Hoosier Nation, who Hoosiers, brace yourselves. I have hot takes. Yeah, we're very Ricky Bobby-esque in our trivial pursuits. If you're not first, your last, unfortunately. We did get a gift card for second. So we'll take that, Kai. We'll run with that every time. Exciting stuff there. but even more exciting.

And I have a couple spin zones on the postseason stuff, Kai. So I'm excited to talk about it. I love it. And yes, folks, everyone knows the Big Ten has not done very well in the tournament. Hopefully, Jim will give us some insight about his theories as to why we don't like the NCAA tournament bias, though. Okay. We won't get that out of the way right now. Show outline, it is the Big Ten. Welcome. We are doing Roots Roundup. We're doing a few reviews first. Got three new reviews. Very, very exciting. Thank you very much. You can leave those reviews on Apple iTunes, the podcast app. Five-star variety are our favorites, of course. And if you leave a review, leave a question, leave some comments. We will discuss them on the show at the very beginning, like we are about to do.

First, a comment on our YouTube video from the Mountain West WCC preview.

I don't think Matt has seen this yet.

I don't think he either.

We're kind of sneak attacking him.

It was basically like, how dare you,

Matthew calling Santa Clara in San Francisco?

He says he lives between the two cities.

He said Santa Clara is a much nicer area than the city.

My favorite gag running bit is Matt in his California geography person.

He just doesn't know it,
