Michigan St./Duke announcing

Of course it's Packer and Nance. Did anyone else catch Nance say they called 10 seconds in the frontcourt? It was probably around the 17/18 minute mark of the first half.

How about the great foul call that was just made and the babbling idiots were talking about how bad it was because it was "all ball" and "his arms were straight up". The freakin body contact was so hard and the defender undercut the shooter. These guys need to STFU.

Also, what was the reason for the video review on the OOB??? The morons were talking about a foul vs OOB vs touch. I couldn't figure out the video review though....

Okay, 4.2 to go in the half. Obviously the clock doesn't start and the correctly cancel the basket.

But the stupid thing is that they're showing instant replay and Billy Packer is counting, thousand one, thousand two, etc. The problem is they're showing the play in SLO-MOTION!!!

WHAT AN IDIOT!!!

And just when he's saying the words "straight up" you can see the defender with his arm at about a 45 degree angle!

And Packer he said the only three teams to return to the Sweet 16 from last year were Illinois, Duke, and Michigan State, right after he gets done talking about how OSU went to the final four last year.

Juulie - Did you catch the comment about the defender didn't make a choping motion so it's not a foul? How do these guys dream this stuff up. I can't wait till next season when some kid says to me "hey ref, I didn't chop him"

My answer to Billy Packer is DIRECTV. Have the Mega March Madness package and watching the NC State/Wisconsin game. Rather watch Mich State/Duke, but Packer isn't allowed in my house. What an "IDIOT."

I'm sitting here at my apartment in Austin wishing I was there. (To watch, not officiate.)

But yeah, I'd rather hear Jay Bilas and his crazy babble than Packer and Nance.

Just sat down to supper when the game started. She asked me why the sound was muted. I told her, "Packer" and she said, "Nuff said". I luv that woman to death, even though she won't watch much with me

13:49 remaining in the 2nd half.

MSU running, fast break.

An absolutely horrible traveling call.

Player bobble the ball, no had control, C calls traveling.

Dookies. Going down!

The calling official clearly signaled a push and they are analyzing replays to see if the player got hit on the arm. AAAAAAAAH!! This has happened several time during the tournament. Officials call a push because of excessive body contact and the announcers are saying what a bad call because he got all ball.

They didn't know what "paradigm" and "holistic" meant?!?! Sheez...

I did, and I just considered the source.
