The pride, passion, and pageantry of college football lives here.

This is the Paul Pinebaum Show, Our 3 Podcast.

And welcome back.

When we last talked to Coach Mike White, we were in Athens, the basketball season just underway.

And what a season it has been for the Bulldogs as Coach White getting ready for Tennessee, joining us from Athens.

Coach, always great to see you. Good afternoon. I know you're coming off of a tough weekend, but you got the first end of the road trip okay,

and that's the great part about basketball.

There's always another night.

Yeah, absolutely, right around the corner. I appreciate it, Paul. Thanks for having me. Yeah, we split last week. We would have liked to finish better. of course in Austin

played a good first half, you know, on the road

against a really talented Texas

team and up seven and a half and just

struggled defensively and offensively. course in Austin played a good first half, you know, on the road against a really talented Texas

team and up seven and a half and just struggled defensively and offensively. They did a great job.

So you're talking about how well we played in the opening couple lines. I wish you had me on

the show a few days ago. Well, we'll continue this. So we usually bring good luck. Coach, listen, I mean, I realize in basketball, all you can think about is what you just got through going, but you've had a really nice year. It's been quite a resurgence since you got there offensively. You're the, really, the talk of a lot of places in college basketball. Let's talk about that because sometimes in college basketball these days, you don't see much happening on the offensive side of the ball. Describe what has been going on with you and your team. Yeah, we've scored a lot of points this year. We play a really fast tempo. We get up and down the court. We start four shooters, you know, around an elite

rim runner in Sampto Surreal, who finishes at a really high rate around the rim. Overall,

we added some good skill level, you know, from the portal to complement a couple of the

rising junior returners in Blue Cane and Dylan James. And I mentioned Sompto, Justin Abson, also as another front court guy who comes back as a senior.

And he's, he's having a pretty good year too.

But those portal guys to compliment the two freshmen that we brought in, again, to add to our returners overall, just our skill level.

We pass it and dribble it a little bit better than we have.
