Wow....you beat me to it VA.....all last night I thought he sounded a lot like a loud Dan Dakich .....

I thought Butch was great very positive on the ILLINI

I agree with you, his content was pro-Illini, but his voice and delivery was very dakich-ish....

I was referring more to the voice and mannerisms. A few too many references to his playing days as well...

To clarify by bench I meant deep bench during last 5 minutes, my bad on being vague... Agree with you on Feliz, Kipper, and Griffin. As far as Butch, it comes down to personal taste I guess.

Gotcha. Agree with you on the deep end bench.. BBV didn’t play at all for some reason until the end, Hamlin look rough, but he will get better..

I loved when we had a chance to run... unselfish and attacking the rim with precision...

These were BTN announcers therefore by rule they must slobber all over the B1G home team in a non conference game. Butch was hard to listen to.

Brian Butch was the worst thing about that game, bench effort being second.

Had to mute the game call quite a few times as he was just so annoying

Anyone know where I can get these jerseys?

I picked up one last year, at least the Nike Elite version. I was hoping to see the throwback ones from a couple games ago.

BU was putting him in with 6 minutes left in the half and he would have played with regulars, but there was no break in play until the under 4 timeout. That's when BU emptied the bench.

That’s true. I wish he would have used a t.o. to get him in earlier. Crowd was poised to give him a nice hand.

Brian Butch, color guy - Dan Dakich's illegitimate son?

Both half brothers to Bill Walton

Both half brothers to Bill Walton

That’s a low blow!

Tev and BBV should have got some run in the middle of the second half IMO. They are going to need them at a crucial time, a few minutes here would go a long way later.

Tev got 4 minutes and was wildly disappointing. He showed no ability to create for himself and threw up a single bad 3 while mostly just passing back to Tyler. He didn’t attempt to drive the lane a single time and made very little effort to get open for anything other than a 3. I don’t care that it was garbage time or that the primarily passers weren’t creating for him. Jones should be able to drive against those players.

I sort of agree, but I don’t think hero ball would have curried any favor with Underwood either.

Sounded more like Vitale to me, Dick Vitale light, but then I think I have only listened to Dakich once.
