Indiana vs Illinios
I was actually able to watch most of the first half of the Indiana Illinois game (I wish I could have seen the 2nd half instead because Indiana won in double OT). Rece Davis and Jay Bilas were the announcers with Pat Forde as the sideline reporter, and they actually said intellectual things pertinent to the game. Clearly, they do not know how to announce basketball games. Jay said that he didn’t think the Illinois players wanted to shut down Eric Gordon just because he didn’t go to Illinois; that they wanted to stop him because he was a good player. Did I really hear something so intelligent from an announcer during a Big Ten game?! Brent would never say something so logical, and Erin would be doing her part to hype the fake story that the only thing the Illinois players thought about all week and what they were thinking about during the game was how Eric Gordon said he was going to go to Illinois but didn't. So where were Brent, Steve, and Erin? What else do they do besides announce Big Ten basketball games for ESPN? Seriously, I do not know.
