0:00.0	on today's podcast. We're going to talk with Britain Richardson about the playoffs a little bit,
0:15.8	but also his playing career and then some fun recruiting stuff deciding to stay at home and
0:20.1	to Paul over going to Kansas. Tales of the couch for wide. We're doing all four playing games and
0:27.6	you know why the games played out the way they did and then the big Zion problem. I'm going to
0:30.9	finish with that one because that was pretty disappointing. Zion lasts 48 hours. Feedback
0:36.2	it's some life advice. Enjoy. Tales of the couch play in addition. Let's run through it.

1:42.8	prince finishing, shot clock possessions off the dribble and expect to win not technically a playoff
1:49.6	game but a playing game like this. We knew that Go Bear was suspended going into it. No,
1:54.9	Nas Reed who was in the conversation not that he was going to win six man of the year but that's
1:59.6	the kind of year he had and he gives you a different look. Kat was actually downgraded,
2:03.8	the doubtful. I can never tell if he's off or not physically because he's not exactly like the
