| 0:00.0 | There is one regular season game left in the Big 12 basketball season. |
| 0:05.0 | Let's talk about it. |
| 0:05.7 | I'm Pete Mundo. |
| 0:06.5 | He is Matthew Postens covering the Big 12. |
| 0:09.2 | He's our lead, Big 12 basketball columnist. |
| 0:11.6 | Always great to have him on the show as we are officially now in March. |
| 0:16.4 | So Matthew, the first thing I want to ask you after I ask you, the audience, to subscribe to the |
