Loved the double flop by marcus against Kane. The 230 pounder gets knocked over with a whisp of air, then he sees Kane going for it, so he tries to get up to flop again and then he is called for a foul. Classic.
I think he congratulated Smart for "selling the flop" when Kane schooled his *** in OT. :twitcy:
I really like the two, but Musberger really makes a ton of mistakes. That said though, I just like having him in the gym. Think of all the sporting events that guy has been around. He's a legend. Fran has always been very complimentary of ISU. Not sure why he likes us so much, I'm guessing that he realizes that our fans are special. Look at GIA, or OU, or BU, or... Fans just don't appreciate their teams like we do in Ames.
Regarding Bilas and others, if we tank he will be just as critical. Not because he has it out for ISU, but he is going to pimp the good schools. We are a good school now, hence the praise. It's funny to me to look at the other topic on his power ratings and the critique he's getting for where he put Iowa and OkSt, yet in here he's getting love for his knowledge.

I wonder if Georges and Nerlens ever played against one another. That would be something, wouldn't it?
We sucked and he didn't like us when we sucked. Dreamy has made us discussion worthy. Bilas is as straightforward as they come.
Yeah, I'm guessing there weren't many Cyclone fans who were super excited about ISU hoops during the McDermott years. But if it's Jay Bilas who's not excited? He's a hack who doesn't know what he's talking about.
Seemed like an appropriate place to put this, from today. Fran tweeted Chris Babb.

Favorite call of the night was Fran after Smart's double flop.
"Thats a flop, thats a block, good call."
Fran called him out!

I would also take some of the pro color guys. I like Hubie Brown and Doug Collins, but for gosh sakes don't send Bill Walton! Fratello was OK as was Jackson, but who ever put Van Gundy on the air should have been shot.
Just a weird observation… Whenever Fran says "Oh No!" just as one of our 3pt shooters catches the ball, they always knock down a huge 3 right away. Thomas did it monday night and Tyrus Mcgee did it against Kansas last year.
Agreed. He was excellent. He and Ron Franklin used to be an excellent team and knew the conference inside and out. I really enjoyed them calling our games during the back to back conference title seasons. Franklin's call of Kantrail's bomb at Fog Allen is still one of my favorites. "HE HIT THAT FROM THE N IN KANSAS! Any further out he's gotta buy a ticket!"
As long as we're talking espn I'm disappointed Raftery isn't working Big East games with Bilas and McDonough anymore. They were really entertaining together without taking away from the games.
