I find Bill Walton annoying. I can certainly appreciate how people see Vitale the same way. But the man has helped popularize the sport immensely, and he goes out and enjoys his job everyday more than I’ve enjoyed mine on any day. I don’t understand how anyone could despise him, hate him, etc.

Walton is #1 for dislike. DV is #2. I know what he has "done for the sport", but I used to watch college basketball BEFORE DV was on TV, so, nah. Just not my type of announcer. All his made up phrases get tedious. AND, I don't hate him. Hate > despise
Man Louisville sure is a hot mess. Just lost to Appalachian St.

We’ll, you can’t blame him for rooting for winners. ACC has won 15 NC since 1950, vs 8 for B1G
Never have I liked the “rooting for winners” thing.We’ll, you can’t blame him for rooting for winners. ACC has won 15 NC since 1950, vs 8 for B1G
The guy who stayed in the room across the hall from me in college wore a baseball cap for whichever team was in first that day.

Actually, I think “rooting for winners” for that reason alone is a literal character flaw, haha.We’ll, you can’t blame him for rooting for winners. ACC has won 15 NC since 1950, vs 8 for B1G
MSU over UK would be a huge early statement win for the conference!
3 straight 1-point losses to mid-major teams. Yikes.
Looks like Syracuse going to lose by double digits at home to Colgate…it is not the tournament, so I guess Boeheim is okay with this result
Guess hiring Dejuan Wagners grandfather as director of operations in order to get his commitment didn't work out. Good try though Payne, better get bigger bags than that
KU & MSU going to OT.

I have to root for Sparty vs Kentucky . . . and that almost makes me ill . . .
With you until I hear the name Sissoko, and I just can’t do it.

Sparty basketball using the same “injured player“ horsesh*t ploy as their football team. A.J. Hogard goes in/out twice due to “injury”

Refs should have let it go. The offense had the advantage. MSU is physical and makes their FT
Rumors of Izzo's demise have once again been greatly exaggerated.

MSU is going to be a handful n B1G play his year
FIFY
Edit: just saw you said full court, so maybe we’re talking about different inbounds plays.

MSU will be moving way up in next week's rankings. Best/Highest Rated team in the Big 10?
Is there a way to agree without “liking”?

Exactly. Unlike walnuts, Vitale doesn't go off on tangents about bikes, books, the dead, flip flops, etc. Vitale is also responsible for coining The Flyin' Illini.......imagine a world without that name for that team.
