They ended up making it to the national championship game as an 8 seed, upsetting an undefeated Wichita State in the 2nd round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are basically playing freshmen who are still adjusting to D1 You may be right, it will depend on how much their guards improve, right now they are really struggling, especially Askew, you can see he is not comfortable and makes way too many mistakes.

slufan13 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 I find one or two moments of every Bill Walton game to be entertaining but the rest of the broadcast is awful. The other day he made a comment about how this was the best he's ever seen a player play. The score was 4-2. That was funny to me. The rest of the game was unbearable.

I enjoy him in small doses, like I do the crazy uncle at family barbecues. I just don't want him doing basketball games. Let him do wacky interviews with a coach/player once a month.

Slu let the dogs out? Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 28 minutes ago, NH said: Am I the only one who loves when Bill Walton does games? No. I enjoy storytellers. Sometimes (not always) I'd rather listen to a rambling sexagenarian whose brain has been half eaten by acid tell tall tales versus 2 squares talking about 2 teams and their players I don't really care about. When I watch an MSU play Duke or a Gonzaga play Kansas I tune in to watch the game, not to listen to it. I don't need in-depth analysis to figure out OCHAI AGBAJI is good at basketball. rgbilliken likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone has their personal likes and dislikes. My #1, can't stand him, is Bill Raftery. All he does is tell you what you just saw. I know what I just saw. I don't need him to tell me. I know many don't like him, but the best analyst, to me, is Dan Dakich. He tells you what is going to happen before it happens.

Woah woah woah, since when has video chatting with a member of a jam band about their 47 minute long songs with 3 minutes of lyrics NOT been relevant to calling a college basketball game?
