Anybody know who is doing the color commentary for the Mizzou-Oklahoma game?

The guy seems to know what he’s talking about, but he has the voice of a little kid. Definitely not a broadcasting voice.

Avery Johnson.

Well that explains why he knows what he’s talking about.

Avery Johnson. I like him.

Weird statement for the announcers to make about a team that's battled for 18 offensive rebounds in 20 minutes.

Totally agree. It's lazy announcing. "I don't have anything worthwhile to say, I can't point to specifics, so I'll go with the 'they want it more,' or 'the effort's not there' narrative." They pulled the same crap on Marquette's players in the BET.

On another note ... I had UConn as my Final Four upset pick, so my bracket is burnt toast unless they rally like hell now!

It also shows that the conference tournaments were really not necessary this year.

100%.

A source close to the Saint Bonaventure program regarding the A-10 tourney. Bonnies played VCU Sunday in title game.

“There was high school state tournament going on at Dayton - Saturday before our game. Kids, fans and parents were there — not following rules.”

No question he knows his stuff. It just is not your typical announcing voice. But I will definitely take him over a Dicky V cheerleader kind of guy.

The A10 should have never allowed that. Should have rented the entire place.

From what I've heard from the analysts this tournament I agree about Avery. Defensively among the most knowledgeable.

rocky_warrior · « **Reply #436 on:** March 20, 2021, 07:47:49 PM »

I know as a fan I'd be fine with the winning ways of Bennett/UVA. But this pace is so boring as a casual fan.

tower912 · « **Reply #437 on:** March 20, 2021, 07:49:20 PM »

Go, Bobcats. Does anybody else remember early in the season when they almost beat Illinois?

Yep. The home fans are fine with it, opponents absolutely hate it, and most casual fans are simply bored by it.

Go Ohio. It will mess up my brackets but who cares Go Bobcats. Might also help Creighton right but who knows

Maybe he wants to coach college ball again.

Wow. I turned to the Mizzou-Oklahoma game when UVA was up seven or eight points. It isn’t easy to come back from a deficit like that against them.

Go Ohio!

Can’t miss the dunk at that point in the game. Big turnaround, as UVA got a 3 in transition. Lead down to 2 instead of 7.

Yuck. I’d have to find a new favorite team. I’d rather watch paint dry than this style 30+ times a year.

tower912 · « **Reply #445 on:** March 20, 2021, 07:56:27 PM »

5 point swing. Can't miss a dunk with 3:05 to go trying to pull off an upset and then give up a transition 3. Arrrggggh

Yes. But that was a very unfortunate swing. Preston sets up his guy for a dunk, he misses it, and UVA hits the triple on the other end. If you've noticed Bennett has moved Sam off of Vander Plaus.

Preston was absolutely brilliant in that game. An all-time great performance.

Missing shots left and right and getting abused by his childhood buddy.

Great play out of the time out for Ohio.
