    Jim Nantz...stick to the Masters

    Let Gus Johnson take over this game at the half. What a snooze fest.

    No joke. Why Gus isn't calling all of the big games at this point is ridiculous. Seems like you have to be white and blahzay to call big games (or just horrible, like Joe Buck).

    That is crazy, but to be fair, if Lunquist is #2, it's probably because of Raftery, who also is 100x more entertaining than anything else they can schlep out there (I am also partial to Len Elmore, also).

    Gus johnson is an idiot

    florida ball and about 20 seconds left in the byu/florida game in a tie game and byu had no fouls to give he asks the question if byu will foul

    and all he does is scream

    Yep, no one in the history of broadcasting has made a mistake. Not even the great Phil Rizzuto *cough*, god rest him. Nantz can't make a mistake because he doesn't say anything.

    I see it was a tie game...crazier things have happened. Not a bad strategy if you foul a shitty ft shooter.

    I actually can't kill him on that. Sometimes you OVERthink strategy. Is it stupid? Yes. Is it out of the realm of a good question? Not entirely. There's a lot of controversy in late game basketball fouling strategies - like fouling a team with the ball down 3 with under 10 seconds to go. What if they did foul and the guy bricks 1, is it a bad strategy then?
    To me, it's not enough to crucify a guy who loses his shit when someone walks on the moon:

    Gus Johnson is a prick

    he cried to the knicks asking for $5 million to do radio and only be part time

    hed only be part time bc he works for cbs and does mma

    and the knicks smartly did not bring him back

    the worst freethrow shooters makes half of their free throws

    no one fouls in that spot

    why are you trying to cover up for his mistake?

    btw you still watched the game didnt you?

    you didnt have to if you hate nance so much change the channel

    no one watches or does not watch a game based on who is calling the game

    it has been researched

    It wasn't Jim Nantz's fault that it wasn't a very exciting game.

    Gus Johnson would of been the only reason anyone kept watching one of the worse College Basketball championship game of all time. Man what a boring game wow ha very bad basketball. I think Johnson is a good announcer.
