Cannot possibly be as bad as the Baylor game announcers. No idea what those bozos were talking about half the time, and the one guy was making weird, high pitched calls like he was a strange, low enthusiasm version of Dickie V
Definitely. For some reason Tim's voice just bothers me and he doesn't seem to know his stuff all that well.

I think you guys know I'm not prone to overblown statements - but last night I woke up from a dream with the image of a scoreboard in my head, and it read:

Iowa State 82
Texas Tech 81

I'm betting there won't be that many points scored tonight, and yet............

Another call for Walton. Most of the commentators are really not good at their job and it doesn't take a commentator to know what's happening in a basketball game.

Even though much of his stuff is incoherent rambling, he typically knows some good stuff about players and gets excited about good, solid plays.

For a good team, you need a color guy who keeps things interesting, and the more straight laced, tell it like it is guy to describe what is happening, but the key is that they both know a little bit about the teams and a lot about the game of basketball.

I'm sure that there are certain posters that would be thrilled to see a bad game so that they can continue their rants.
Oddly there are a lot that would be happy with that. Prohm haters could be out in full force tonight.

Feels like the kind of game ISU will win, just so the KSt loss stings that much more...

That said, I expect a 7-8 point TT win.
