And welcome, ladies and gentlemen to yet another episode of the three, man weave college basketball podcast, Matthew Cox, going back to back, hosting duty.

Jim, Root, back in tow, Mr. McKeon, back per usual.

We are at full strength, ready to talk A10, one of the most scary, feverish fan bases of any conference out there.

But this is the one conference that at least feels somewhat intact for now.

Knock on what,

I think is going to change as we know,

but it does feel like without UMass,
