Message: [QUOTE="bballnut90, post: 3842421, member: 2117"] Announcers werent great but they didn't irritate me too much. I will say I prefer when an announcer brings some energy since it does liven the game some. Back in the day Mike Patrick would announce Final Fours and I loved it since he brought great energy to the game and would basically react with how the crowd was feeling. His facts and knowledge weren't always great but I found his games a blast to watch. There is a fine line though between bringing energy and going overboard with it. A lot of announcers fall victim to trying too hard to hype up certain players or plays in general. Refs last night were definitely inconsistent. I thought more calls went in SC's favor (and this is coming from someone rooting for SC) but it went both ways. Id like to say it hurt the flow of the game, but it really didn't since there just was never much flow at all. In regards to the 4th foul on Boston that disappeared....watch the replay. Boston didn't foul Griffin. The refs correctly reassigned the foul to the player who did commit the foul. That's a good job by the reffing crew even if it is frustrating when it works against you sometimes. [/QUOTE]
