Happy Halloween, boo! I scared you. Welcome to the three-man-week college basketball podcast. The boys are packed. Jim is spooky on YouTube in his dank basement. Matt is

stunning in his Florida mansion looking all very nice. Kai is in his normal abode with the

three-man weave background that you can barely see on YouTube, but it's there. It's all about the

idea of it, as it were.

Hello, this is our last offseason podcast, and we're very excited about that,

because we're ready to watch actual college basketball, actual hoops.

I know we're all kind of tired about the exhibitions.

We just want to see real games that matter, Jim.

Today we are giving final four predictions, Elite 8 predictions, title picks, and all Americans.

But first, Jim, hi, how are you?

Our correspondent from St. Louis.

That's right.

You two are from St. Louis, but I am the one in St. Louis.

I'm visiting some friends.

We've got a buddy, all three of us know that's in town from old Europe.

So it came down here sitting in my old roommate's basement. As you alluded to, it is kind of a glorious setup. I can get a lot of work done with all the amount of screens he's got going here.

It's pretty great. But yes, we are approaching the season, ever approaching. And Matt, this is the

only college basketball podcast where we also pick the elite eight. Not just that lame final four. We get to be a little more adventurous with the elite eight, and I always enjoy that. Yeah, I won't suggest doing Sweet 16 just to throw a few more like maybe one or two more like, ooh, Matt on this fun not that elite team that's cool yeah

I agree we're super unique we're really different we're hashtag built different uh what are you

guys being for Halloween I just went to uh McDonald's this morning I'm gonna be a

McDonald's ensemble so I was trying to get like some like the fries containers to paste on a

wow our costume.
