0:00.0	Welcome back to another episode of the three-man weave college basketball podcast. I'm your
0:16.9	host. I'm your Hote. I'm your hotel. I'm your Hote this week. Your host this week,
0:22.4	Jim Roots. I'm joined by Kai McEwen and Matthew Cox, my two consistent colleagues. Basketball is back and we are apparently tongue-tied, but also excited to talk about them.
0:34.2	The games, what we actually saw on the court. It's not preseason. It's not preview
0:38.6	season anymore. Kai, the ball is back. How are you feeling? As I put in the title of our
0:44.4	episode is the revenge of college basketball. Oh, mercy, Jim. Relieved, so relieved to have
0:50.5	college basketball back. Excuse me, Goodness gracious. What got in there?
0:56.9	Tung-tied, coughing.
0:58.6	It's a really good start to the show.
1:01.3	I love college basketball, Matthew.
1:02.1	It's been fun to watch.
1:06.7	I've watched a lot of obscure games because there's been kind of some tough scheduling to start the year.
1:07.1	I have a small, incy-be-n bency thought on that later on. But overall, happy
1:12.7	it's back and excited to watch more. Yeah, the schedule stinks. I hate it. I've spent
1:18.3	the last two days watching like on demand replays on ESPN plus or ESPN, watch ESPN, whatever
1:23.6	it's called now because you can't watch more than a game when there's 50 going on at one time on the opening day. It's just maddening. We've got to fix it. Props to Florida and Arizona
1:32.4	playing a real game. Props to Mazugan on the road at least, playing kind of a semi-significant
1:37.5	game to some people's, you know, in some people's eyes. Yeah, as I mentioned before, I think the whole
1:43.3	scheduling, the scheduling hack formula we talked about, people got the memo, and then now it's just ruins. Not-conference scheduling, effectively. So I hate it. I hate it. I'm going to host to my thoughts for Kai's thought, because it's going to be a longer discussion about scheduling, but I'm not a fan either.
2:03.2	But hey, we are a fan of games being back.
2:09.3	There's actual ball to discuss players doing things on the court and games and results to discuss.
2:10.4	So we're going to do that today.
