Butler is playing some fine ball this tourney. Nice win. Heck, Murray State has given them their closest game in this tourney, so far .

UK game is getting dicey for the faithful Blue...the outside shot is not falling in the 1st half, and WVU started waking up and hitting the outside jumpers about halfway through the half. We need to start seeing some "Ashley in the crowd" shots from CBS...she is good luck for UK!!! .

UT girls go down to Baylor earlier today. 10 blocked shots for the 6' 8" prizefighter.

See what happens when they don't give us "Ashley shots"?!?!?!?

Sheesh! The Cats stunk, for the most part. Calipari didn't have them ready, couldn't buy a free throw, wouldn't/couldn't help out on defense, refused to abandon the ice-cold 3 point line, etc. No real full-court pressure till the last couple of minutes, for some reason. REAL bad time to go cold. WVU just plain out-played them, and deserved the win. I hope they stomp dook.


And I hope Butler wins it all, now.

Oh, and as much as I've enjoyed Enberg over the years, it's time he stepped down from announcing. Not real good tonight.

As much I as understand the frustration with announcers that make mistakes and have obviously lost their edge, which Enberg would classify as, I still love him.

This has nothing to do with the point made above that Enberg has lost a step, I agree. For me I still love him. I think too much is often made of announcers that are past their prime. I will take Dick Enberg over his idiot partner Bilas and most of these other weak asses that are rolled out on a telecast.

Having Enberg doing the game and hearing his voice is just.....I don't know how to word it other than it is comfortable. It frustrates me like everyone else when they f up, but I guess I just don't mind when it comes down to it.

The best analogy I can use is Pat Summeral. As must as he struggled calling a game, hearing him on Sunday just felt right.

Rambling now, so I will stop. Again, not trying to stir any pot, just wanted to plant my flag in the land of loving the old school pros of broadcasting. The ones that made people take notice of the broadcaster in the first place.

For me the Enbergs, Summeralls, Michaels, K Jackson's, Gowdy's, Scully's, Caray's and Niehaus's(local flavor I know, but he is the chit) of the world will always have a mic open for them.

That is all. Looking forward to the games tomorrow, great games today. This has been one of the better tournaments in recent years no doubt.
