I guess the game was mildly interesting. One of the announcers was awful, who I guess is Chris Webber per a quick web search. When that Oregon kid blatantly flopped, Webber said "I'm fine with that. Sometimes you need to do that." What? And then the refs, rightly, give a double-technical. And on the missed Oregon three late in the game where the kid airballed it and complained for the next minute he was fouled, the replay clearly showed he wasn't even touched, if at all, until the ball was out of his hands for two seconds. Weber then talks about how hitting a guy on his elbow can affect his shot. OK, yes, but what game are you watching? I'm pretty easy on announcers as the job is so much harder than it looks (try turning off the sound and announcing the game for a minute to a phantom audience), but this was head-scratching.
