Announcers

[FurdTerguson]

This was a businesslike win for UK. I thought our better than usual defense saved our sleepwalking offense.

What game were the announcers watching? Troy this Troy that. They just keep coming at you, blah blah blah.

The Cats played with their food tonight. They should have been addressing that instead of trying to will a comeback out of Troy.

 

[FiveStarCat]

Harlan was definitely itching for the upset. I would be too but it’s annoying when it’s your team that it’s against

 

[HagginHall1999]

I will never complain when Kevin Harlan is on the horn.

One of the true greats. Maybe my favorite.

 

[runt#69]

Wasn't half bad for me. The officiating crew was fine too.

I'm glad the SEC officiating is over

Nah...he has mad respect for UK. He was pulling for energy...that is what he does.

Go listen to him on Leach Report this a.m. He is very fond of UK, even as a Kansas grad.

Troy only lost by 6 threes and a 2. Get with it man.

 

[will1976]

I was too busy dreaming about Tom Leach to care what they said. 😍

 

[Wildcat Sheli]

Did the announcers mention it was Pope’s first NCAA Tournament win? I was glad Butler mentioned it afterwards. They seemed happy. Go ‘Cats!

 

[mg0721]

Thank God we got a thread bitching about the announcers. It's not a UK basketball game until we have a thread on the announcers.

 

[2Dope15]

Million times better than listening to Dykes repeating same lame stuff over and over.

 

[Wildcat Sheli]

I thought it was hilarious when Amari made the dunk and one of them said, “Thank you!”😀

 

[ftp000]

Which announcer said Williams was "swash-buckling" down the court? That was unusual.

There is no question about it.

 

[FurdTerguson]

The story of this game was Pope winning his first tournament game at UK. Nobody gives a crap about Troy. I understand the whole underdog thing, but come on.

 

[drbubba]

There is no question about it.

Harlan's biggest weakness is his parrtner. It is a treat to listen to him do NFL games. He loves the game and loves what he does.

Outside of Kentucky fans and Mark Pope's family, nobody gives a crap about his first NCAA Tournament victory. Good for him getting it but if you are expecting a 60 Minutes cover story about it, you are badly mistaken.

That was me . I yelled it so loud you heard it.

 

[Dead Cat Bounce]

I owe Stan Van Gundy an apology. I thought it was Jeff and reflexively cringed every time he spoke.

 

[Oboro95]

Seek help.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Announcers were fine. Way better than espn.

 

[M4CAT]

I like Kevin Harlan doing our games. Enjoy listening to him call NFL games. Definitely one of the bests out there today.

 

[rolaid]

I thought announcers and refs were fantastic in this game. It was so nice to not see ticky tak fouls called. Let them play.

 

[Phil_The_Music]

I'd take the announcers we had tonight any day and twice on Sunday if Dykes and crew. The officiating was actually good too. The SEC is the worst.

 

[bigbluedon]

Announcers were great. Don’t know where some of you get this crap.

I guarantee you it was the main story when it was Scheyer and Hubert Davis getting their first wins.

 

[Girthang]

Dang, those grapes are SOUR in ArcadiaFanLand. Might need to let that whine age a little.

 

[Padsfs07]

This was a great announcing crew and refereeing crew. I was really happy with both.

 

[megablue]

Dude sounded dead on Marv Albert …

 

[FurdTerguson]

I loved the officiating. And I normally prefer Harlan over just about anybody.

 

[ftp000]

Dude sounded dead on Marv Albert …

I said the same thing to my wife. I got an empty stare.

 

[hotelblue]

i remember when we beat umass in the ‘96 ff, nance would only talk about them, even when it was decided. cbs has a habit of being apologetic when the underdog loses.

I remember when Duke was playing Miss State in like 2003. Miss State was the underdog but might as well have been the Washington Generals. All Packer talked about was Duke.

One of the true greats. Maybe my favorite.

He was the radio announcer for the Chiefs when I lived in KC in the early 90's. He was great back then too!

Kevin Harlan.

He's still pining for Tubby

 

[know1]

Waaaaaah.....

We have a lot of snowflakes as "fans".

 

[On-On-UK]

I thought it was hilarious when Amari made the dunk and one of them said, “Thank you!”😀

After Amari missed his 3rd layup, Tom Leach said "Just dunk it!"
Goose replied "I'm tired of saying that"

Meanwhile, I was screaming the entire game, "Raise your freaking hands, Amari"

And now we find out his back is hurt.
