Crean and Fanta on the Call Tonight

[TallTitan34]

Very excited for this.  Unfortunately, I will be there and miss the call.

[jutaw22mu]

That is exciting.  I'll be at the gym but now I will definitely be listening.

[tower912]

Fanta Crean soda.

Gotta work, eh?

[Macallan 18]

Hope Broeker hands Crean an invoice for the soccer stadium. Better late than never!

Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'

Can you imagine sitting near the screamer in the crowd?

Sounds like good eatin!

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Who spilled the Diet Coke?

[GoldenWarrior11]

I thought Crean did very well on color, and Fanta continues to grow as a commentator (I have followed him for several seasons now).

I would much rather have this duo than some of the others on FS1 or CBSSN.

Crean's line about Matt Foley was funny during an infuriating stretch in the 2nd.

[MarquetteDano]

Had my issues with Crean like many here but did anyone notice when Fanta asked about his Marquette memories Crean started to choke up a bit?  Maybe it was me but it didn't seem contrived.

He absolutely did. I thought Crean was great last night.

I don't think TC has spoken ill of his time at MU. His biggest regret was his BIL (John) leaking the news he was going to Indiana before he could tell the team.

[Scoop Snoop]

Who spilled the Diet Coke?

I think Fanta. But I want to know why it wasn't an orange Fanta rather than a coke.

[The Lens]

You can hate TC the coach and like him as an announcer. He did a fine job last night. Fanta is a network exec's dream...the anti Billy Packer.  Gets VERY excited when a lead gets cut 8 under 2 minutes.

Fanta = Matt Foley

For those TV watchers, the picture was an incredible improvement over Fox and FS1, or am I just imagining this?

I think a lot of the streaming services have a better picture. My guess is that is more of a function of how you are receiving your telecasts from Fox and FS1.

Gotcha, I am on YTTV for the Fox games, and the Peacock app last night, I am guessing the Peacock is a more"direct" feed, versus being watered down from satellite to network to streaming service. 

Maybe next time I will try watching thru the FoxSports App for the FS1/Fox games...

[MUfan12]

I could be wrong on this, but I believe Fox/FS1 still streams sports in 720p.

[DienerTime34]

I wanted to not like this pairing, but I have to hand it to Crean, I couldn't believe how good he was as a color commentator. I felt like I actually learned about basketball (and he had some unique insights into the MU program).

Has anyone done more to repair their image around here than Crean? He used to get booed on the Jumbotron. Things started to turn for me at the 100 Years celebration, where he was also excellent.

[Mr. Nielsen]

Not speaking on last night. Yet, Peacock has odd for me. Works well on the Samsung. Not as clear on the Roku.

[cheebs09]

He's developed a lot more of a personality since leaving MU (and probably Indiana). He seems to have fun with the PMT guys.

[GoldenWarrior11]

I really like the Peacock telecasts. I just can't stand CBSSN.  It screams to me like minor league. Some may complain about streaming but it's the way of the present and future.

This. 

Everything is terrible about CBSSN... especially the commentators.  I missed yesterday's game since I was there but the games I have watched on Peacock always have a high production value.
