| 0:27.5 | good a short time back in Knoxville before we hit the road again for for March Madness coverage |
| 0:33.6 | but I think I say it every week but it's my favorite time of the year I love love March Madness, so it's fun. I've never been to Lucas Oil Stadium. It makes no sense to me that they're doing it in a football stadium instead of the NBA arena that's 10 feet away, but, you know, whatever. Let's do it. It'll be, I guess, a bucket list item. We'll go, you know, make sure you see the paint manning statues check off all the t-suffe up there try to find like a i p ui t-shirt if those still |

| 1:47.6 | limiting factor in tennessee and kentucky shooting well this is something that i think about |
| 1:52.7 | because i mean it is harder it's a different kind of feel it's a different kind of look and |
| 1:56.6 | tennessee could use kentucky being off playing in a football stadium than a traditional basketball arena. |
| 2:02.4 | I don't know. |
