| 0:00.0 | Hey there. I am Gary Parrish. Welcome back to the I-On College Basketball podcast. We're here on CBS Sports Network, where we sometimes discuss camel fighting dodo birds and leaky black. |
| 0:22.6 | Matt Norlander is here with me, and the place to start on this Tuesday is with Monday's auto bid winners. |
| 0:27.9 | Congrats to Furman. The Paladins are dancing out of the Southern Conference. |
| 0:32.1 | Congrats to Troy. The Trojans are dancing out of the Sunbelt. Bob Richie, Scott Cross, both back in the NCAA tournament. |
| 0:40.2 | Norlander, good to see you. |
| 0:41.4 | Can you tell the folks why these are cool stories? |
| 0:45.2 | Well, let's go with Furman first. |
| 0:47.4 | And yes, I have to go Zoolander here. |

| 1:19.4 | who had this weird bookend, we talked about it on the pod three years ago, |
| 1:22.2 | where he was part of that incredible play to help extend Virginia's run to the national title back in |
| 1:28.8 | 2019, and then his career ended, unfortunately, in that game. So anyway, great to see Furman |
| 1:33.0 | back. This was a team that was expected to be the team to come out of the Socon in the preseason, |
| 1:39.5 | but it didn't really work out that way. That's why we have conference tournaments. Good on Bob |
| 1:43.4 | Richie. Troy is intriguing |
