Love how the announcers still talk about our FT shooting.
« on: February 24, 2011, 12:00:15 AM »
We've been pretty good for awhile now.  Especially love when they rag on Jamar's FTs.  Dude is shooting like 80% in B12 play, he's money.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

It is one of the dumbest talking points in basketball. I get more and more annoyed at the dumb stats that are throw out there all the time, but this is the worst.

well lets be honest.  The announcers are working off stats sheets for talking points and only prep for a game a day or two in advance.  Maybe they troll youtube for highlights.  Not a lot of sources of info unless you are well studied like Gottlieb.

They should show our tournament resume again.  I missed it the first 50 times.

Jamar had his worst FT shooting I've seen since league started.  But yes, the FT percentage talking point is lazy announcing at best.

National audience.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

4-6 might be his worst in B12, that says a lot for his improvement.

I just don't find myself getting upset over what a game announcer has to say.  Except for Fox's instant replay analyst, the former NFL official.  That dude was almost always wrong.  I mean, seriously, almost always.  And you knew he was going to be wrong because you could see it for yourself right there on the replay.  What a joke that guy was.  Sheesh.

I think she is a pretty good announcer.  I think most women who make it are.  It's kind of like being a white rapper, you have to be really good to actually get the shot.

Lawson's analysis was decent as previously mentioned. She actually understands the game and doesn't lapse into a bunch of nonsensical crap like Pam Ward. However, their PbP sounded half asleep, kept throwing cliche after cliche about us that his stat crew likely coached him on before the game, and ultimately he probably thought that the Hawkeyes were playing the squawks or something :blank: . He was the textbook definition of a scrub play-by-play

This is going nowhere.  Tell us more about FT stat commentary.
