0:00.0	Well, we're back, said he is Cederus, been wild. As you always, I'm your host Eddie Gonzalez,
0:10.4	and I am joined by you. I think the most impressive resume of everybody I've had on this show
0:16.1	with us. Wait a minute. Yo, here, off our game MVP, Rainey. We'll talk about that champion,
0:24.4	Leaning Score and NCAA history, which was absurd. That's probably not going to be broke. Maybe
0:30.9	one of the COVID people will break it. I think COVID might get me. It'll give you a chance.
0:35.6	That's crazy impressive. Six player of the year. You have all this great stuff.
0:40.4	So we're obviously going by Kessie Poem. How are you doing? I'm good. Grateful to be here.

1:42.8	And it's just not it's not fun and you can't win consistently like that. So when you chose to go
1:50.0	there, that wasn't why you're like I'm a shoot every time I want and get all shots I want. No,
1:55.5	I mean, when I chose to go there, I felt like I want to do something different. Like I want to try
2:01.2	to bring a program from, I mean, I don't think they had been to the tournament in like over 10
