MUPanther - I was worried this morning when I didn’t see this posted. It’s one of the first things that I look for each morning and jumped the gun when I didn’t see it already posted. Keep it up!

Is it me or has Gus way cut back the number of games he's calling this winter? It seems really noticable.

Maybe he has worn out his welcome? I can only get excited for a 3-pointer so many times when someone yells at me.

Anyway, I saw Chuck Harris was practicing yesterday, but the Dawgs are +10.5, so something else is up.

Something about hearing Gus call a game makes it feel like a big game to me.

I don't think he's doing any weekday games... mostly just Saturday's and seems to be every other Saturday.

He's in a masters program at Harvard so cutting back on college basketball games makes sense (this was the reason he didn't do any NFL this year either). There is going to be a special on that on FOX prior to the Michigan State @ Michigan game on Saturday night that Gus is calling.

I haven't seen Joe Davis do anything college basketball games this year - has anyone? Mostly Jason Benetti, Tim Brando, Kevin Kugler, Brandon Gaudin and a little bit of Gus Johnson this year for PxP

Ahh, that makes sense.

Yeah haven't seen Joe Davis doing anything- he might be taking a month break before getting back to do the Dodgers. (man, how lucky is Fox to have him?- he's so good on baseball and football). Fox loses Buck and upgrades in both baseball/football IMO.

Jays favored at PC? Line is moving to the Friars and it probably should. If CU somehow pulls out a victory tonight, my expectation level ramps up.

Just a reminder that tonight and tomorrow last chance to make an impression on the committee prior to that sweet 16 reveal on Saturday. Guess an outside chance for Creighton to get a 4 seed on the reveal with a win tonight. The Marquette/Xavier game tomorrow really big in terms of that reveal.
