| 0:00.0 | Hey there. I am Gary Parrish. Welcome back, CBS Sports. I on college basketball podcast where we sometimes discuss camel fighting dodo birds |
| 0:21.9 | and leaky black. Matt Norlander is here with me. If you're watching on YouTube, |
| 0:26.5 | honor Brandon Davies, smash the like button. If you haven't yet subscribed to the I own college |

| 0:39.1 | Let's get into it. We are both getting ready. Matt Norlander and I to head to Las Vegas for the Nike EYBL circuit and NBA Summer League. |
| 0:45.7 | It's going to be a big week. It's the EYBL's return to Vegas first time since 2019, I believe. |
| 0:53.1 | Norlander, I think you've been to Vegas more recently |

| 1:45.2 | Folks, it doesn't matter what had happened. Belgium is so much better than us. It was |
| 1:49.1 | beyond clear. And the fact that they were bringing on guys like Doku and Lakaku in the second |
| 1:55.7 | half who are just way, way better than anyone we have on our roster showed everything. So we don't have to make |
| 2:01.7 | this a full-blown team USA World Cup recap pod, although I've got some correspondence to get to in a |
