Hey there. Gary Parrish, welcome back to the CBS Sports Eye on College Basketball podcast,

where we sometimes discuss camel fighting dodo birds and leaky black

if you're watching on youtube you know what to do to the like button shouts to brandon davies

and if you haven't yet subscribed to the cbs sports college basketball youtube channel

please also do that while you're here let's get into it different deal today as you'll soon realize

matt norlander is not here with me and that that's because I'm in Chicago for Big Ten Media

Day, and while here, I sat down with most of the coaches and some of the players for

The conversations I had with coaches and players, they are on tap. I hope you enjoy them right after
