Tony Paul, the long-time writer with the Detroit News, joins Bob and Matt to kick off the first episode of the regular season. They talk about Oakland's early struggles and how the three-week layoff due to positive COVID tests have had an impact. Also, while Detroit Mercy had to cancel its opening set of games against Kentucky and Richmond, they talk about the advantage of more prep time, coupled with Noah Waterman's transfer waiver approval, will affect the Titans.
