| 0:00.0 | Previously on the Ion College Basketball podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | I'll go with Ohio State over Texas. |
| 0:05.1 | I've got Ohio State ranked 15th in the top 25 and 1. |
| 0:08.2 | Maybe I'm too high on them or just high in general, but I like the roster that Jake |
| 0:14.5 | DeBler put together. |
| 0:16.6 | I was a little surprised that they didn't get more votes in the preseason AP Top 25 poll. |
| 0:23.2 | So I've got Ohio State over Texas. |
| 0:26.8 | You have chosen wisely. |
| 0:29.9 | Most obvious to me, I'm going to say UCF wins on its home floor, unranked team, and beats 13th ranked Texas A&M on Monday night. I credit Buzz |
| 0:39.3 | Williams for being willing to schedule an opening night game on the road against a power |

| 0:53.9 | is UCF over an A&M and GP. |
| 0:56.4 | I'm just going to blindly say when we talk on the Tuesday morning edition |
| 0:59.2 | to the Ion College Basketball podcast, |
| 1:00.8 | I think we will be talking about two ranked teams losing |
| 1:03.8 | on Monday night to unranked opponents. |
| 1:06.3 | Pay that man his money. |
| 1:12.7 | Look at us. |
| 1:14.0 | Hey there. |
