| 0:17.0 | Richard is out in Fort Worth, where he'll be on the ESPN call of the American Athletic Conference Tournament involving UAB. |
| 0:23.2 | We'll touch some on that. |
| 0:24.1 | First of all, how are you, Richard? |
| 0:25.0 | You good? |
| 0:26.4 | Doing great, guys. |
| 0:27.2 | Hey, it's March, so, you know, I always love this time to see. |
| 0:30.3 | That's the best time when it's conference tournament time. |
| 0:32.5 | So I'm excited. |
| 0:33.5 | That's right. |
| 0:33.9 | I'm sure you do.
