Am I the only one that likes Shon Morris? I think he's solid and easy to listen to. Or is it just that he seems good in comparison to the abominations that are usually calling games?

I like Morris too.  Very knowledgeable and respects the Indiana program, unlike that bozo from the last game.

The bar was set very, very, very low by the clowns that called the last game on FS1 and Bardo in the past.  That being said, I also like some of Morris's comments.

Clean it up and we win going away. Let them hang around and this could be a long game

I like him more after he corrected himself on that - no goaltending call. He’s solid.

Didn't play well, but up 10. Need to quit making stupid passes. Why didn't Smith and Durham play more late in the half ?

By my count we missed five layups in the first half. This game would probably be over already if we didn't look like a high school team under the hoop.

At least he is not Marshall.

Don't forget Trollkich and his shock jock schtick.

Smith had 2 fouls so probably to prevent him from getting the 3rd before the half.  No idea on Al.

I've always thought him, Gus and Jimmy Jackson were the best the BTN has had. Bardo had been the worst ever until Donny Marshall re-emerged from irrelevance.

Illinois did nothing on offense that half and yet are still very in this. Stop giving it away or lose. That’s all.

Channel surfing to reach this game, came across Celtics-Clippers and Dick Vitale was on the call. It sounded weird hearing him broadcast an NBA game. Of course he was talking about Kentucky.

But to hear Cayuts fans talk, he hates Kentucky!

Student turnout tonight is um... well... it’s weak.  (I’m a student and I’m disappointed) 

[Ranger78 1,293]

What’s more concerning to me is how much I like Robbie Hummel.

Shon is a much better announcer than he was a ball player. If my memory serves..... he was a IU killer

We could say this every single game. We are on average right now, about 5 misses per half

You just have to look past where he went to college and just think of him as an Indiana high school basketball player.
