| 0:29.2 | we concluded our annual candid coaches series. Last week with one final question that we |
| 0:34.6 | did not discuss in last Thursday's episode. The question is a simple one. It's when we ask |
| 0:40.3 | every year who will be the best team in college basketball this season. Unsurprisingly, Kansas |
