What’s the over/under on the phrase “solid screen”? I’ll set it at 500. Is there another kind, Billy?

And on just about every bank shot…

And I’m going Javier Bordem on the next guy to give Augustin a supplemental ‘e’.

Len Elmore should be demoted to doing those early morning Big 10 football games with that lesbian chick. His monotone is pure torture.

Jay Bilas is going to have 2+ hours to fellate the lone ACC representative left.

Other than our games this weekend, the only thing I want to see happen is Davidson win on a buzzer beater.
The ensuing guttural screams from Johnson would be greatness.

It doesn’t get much better than Johnson and Raftery. Pure insanity.

A few years ago they had Raftery, Bilas and Sean McDonough doing that pre-season Maui Classic. It was pretty funny.

Harlan’s the best. It’s criminal that any of the other four are working the regional finals, and he isn’t.

Verne and Raf are back in sync this year, and are fun to listen to.
Nantz is a class act.

Nantz goes from the Final Four to The Masters. srr50 is green with envy.

The fact that he has to sit next to Packer for two months almost makes the envy go away.
Almost.

Raftery is the best. His “Onions!!” is northeastern slang for balls or cajones. Anytime someone hits a big shot he yells “Onions!!”

I hate it when they give Gus Johnson the two games that are least likely to be close. This doesn’t make sense. Give Enberg and Bilas or Nantz and Packer the blowouts.
Though, if Davidson hits a buzzer beater to beat Wisconsin, The Palace might implode from the decibel level he puts out.
