Would ESPN allow him to call a tournament game for his alma mater though?

they let other folks, granted as analysts rather than pbp. so who knows what they'd allow.

Is StlVUFan sitting behind the announcers?  I think that is him

the newly crowned "player of the year" finished the game 1-7 from the field, and a whopping 5 points. 4 turnovers to 0 assists. how's that 'unselfish' thing workin out?

A big stat from that game WSU bench: 29pts Detroit bench: 1pt

Nice going Wright State!  They hung in there throughout!   :thumbsup:
Big bench numbers,  the Titans did have a weakness there all year...

valporun

tx, that was StlVUFan behind the announcers. I sent him a tweet asking him about that too.

vuweathernerd

i almost posted here about 8 minutes into the second half, but didn't want to jinx it. i figured that as long as wright state could keep detroit from turning it into a track meet, they stood a chance. lo and behold, they did it.

Nows the time to get down to business.  Play our game Crusaders!  Make us proud.!!

What a ridiculous tournament!  I hope it ends on Tuesday with a Valpo blowout win  :)

Todd confirms Adam Amin will be in the house Tuesday, with Brandon McPherson for some sort of three-man booth (how's that going to work? they've proven with Luke that they don't have an extra headset).

Todd also predicts that both buzzer beaters will be in the ESPN top ten, and predicts Rowdy will have the play of the day.

agibson

Ooh... but Alabama had a _half court_ buzzer beater.  That might be hard to beat.  Still, not a tournament...  we'll see.

KL31NY

What if they double up the #1 spot with WSU/VU? Two crazy buzzer beaters in the same tournament round on the same night in the same arena only a couple hours apart is hard to overlook.

Nice!

"We're excited," he said. "It doesn't matter who we play (today). This week is all about us."

The goal for Detroit, however, is simple: Match what Butler did two years ago — repeat as league champion. "We want to win back-to-back titles," McCallum Sr. said. "That's what traditionally strong teams do. Butler did it."

I did enjoy watching Doug Anderson play.

Did you catch his reverse alley-oop dunk tonight, in the first half?  Really something.
