Ryan Sylvia is here.

He's back after a couple weeks away.

We found our good night hoops action time, Ryan Sylvia.

This is good ball's hoop.

It's like late night balls hoop hour.

How are you, man?

Yeah, I like the time slot.

It works that well.

And it feels like, I know, it feels right to talk hoops at 10 p.m. feels like we're waiting for like the Hawaii tip off or something in bridging it. But I've been well. I've been well. I'm glad to be back on. And I'm excited to talk both men's women's nasty hoops.

Absolutely. Well, I wish we were talking on a happier note here in terms of it's weird.

Like, I think both men's women are obviously going through some close losses and dealing

with the high expectations because of the hot start, both being undefeated so late in the

this season and just like the fun aspect of both being undefeated

for a long period of time first time in school history like that was cool but it's at the bar

really high um with SEC play coming to the field the difference is like i think lady ball fans like

a you have a gigantic recruiting class coming in next year that you're just like hey well this is

year one and we're ahead of schedule and we're playing close in a lot of key games like this is fun um but like this is year one it's okay the it's different with barns like this everyone looks at it like this could be the last ride if it's a kai ziegler's not back uh and gets a fifth year then who knows what it looks like for Tennessee basketball after this year.

Like, this feels kind of like Brian Chipper and I talked about it, like feels like a last dance
