Is it just me or did one of the guys today keep referring to Mike Connolly, distant relative of former Buckeye Sean Connolly?

It was a great call on Lewis' shot. The problem I have is that he tried to impose the same kind of emotion on countless other moments preceding that.

I love him calling the game down the stretch... but you are right that he throws that excitement around every other shot.

Yep, I made that complaint during the game (it's not the first game he's done this either). He figures out his name when he's at the charity stripe, but I guess he gets excited during the play and his mind drifts off to Jennifer.

Gus Johnson is worlds better than Billy Packer. At least he seems to be having fun.

I think it's a given that Packer, Vitale & Rafferty are dreadful.
