Emeka calling the Creighton Providence game

[nelsonmuntz]

Is this his first game ever as a color guy?

Voice is low and a bit muffled

Has a tough tone for the job. A voice coach would be a good idea.

Doing a pretty good job otherwise. It is funny that he is starting to get annoyed at how bad defensively Providence is.

We now say African-American guy.

Seen him in studio first time I've heard him call a game

 

[BGesus4]

Still can’t believe we didn’t seize the opportunity to have a backcourt of Dix and Ball

 

[Leebo]

Maybe I'm just getting used to it, but his mic situation sounds marginally better to me

 

[nelsonmuntz]

They should be able to autotune his voice so it is not so deep.

 

[willie99]

He's trying, he'll get better. Experience is the world's greatest teacher

He's too smart to not succeed


Will we bash Meka as much as we do Donny?

Does Kim have any idea how to beat a zone? Just one play

If Hurley was coaching Providence. They would be 15-3 instead of 9-9

It was a fun and dynamic game to watch. Very high scoring, shades of the UConn game, intense, great TV. Providence is young, with real impressive pieces. Hope they are able to keep most of them. That team is an offensive hand full and just needs fine tuning from experienced coaches. In a few more games, Providence may be the second-best team in the Big East.

An interesting Boneyard theme might be to rerate the conference based upon the first half games and why.

Depends. Is he going to bend over backwards to avoid sounding like a homer?

 

[ucp990411]

Vaks, Mela and Jones are very good offensive players. Portal bound? Might they want to actually be coached?

I like Donny. Announcers shouldn't sound like homers. I think he does a good job of mixing in his love for UConn with his love for basketball in general, with the latter being the norm. I couldn't do it. I would be such a homer, and that's why I'm not cut out for that job.

Hurley has been hesitant to poach in conference. Pitino certainly doesn't mind.

He tries too hard not to. There's a middle ground there.
