You'll See The Best In Basketball on CBS

BEVERLY HILLS (MI) -- Back in the ‘80s when CBS held the NBA contract, they had a catchy little intro jingle that went like this:

“You’ll see the best in basketball on CBS”

Well, boys and girls you’ll see the best that University of Dayton Basketball has to offer on Sunday at 1:00PM on CBS.

No need for channelsurfing.eu (which recently got shuttered by the Feds)

Or justin.tv

Or a web-stream with a lousy picture from the rafters of the UD Arena featuring the always popular PowerPoint scoreboard

Just turn on the Philco, adjust the rabbit ears and enjoy.

And speaking of ‘rafters’ no more embedded X players doing color commentary for a UD game, either. No sir. We get the CBS A-Team of Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery. No word on Jay Bilas, but he will probably be Bristol-bound to work for ESPN, as I just heard a promo for their Selection Sunday coverage and they mentioned Jay being part of it.

Speaking of Bilas, his Twitter feed is absolutely hilarious with much of it this week featuring quotes from Raftery:

A few samples:

Raftery to guy: "Where'd you go to school, kid?" Guy: "Harvard". Raftery: "Well, there's a conversation ender!"

The waitress at a Pub dropped a tray of drinks near our table. Bill Raftery says, "An Irishman's loose ball drill. Get on the floor!"

Big East coach to Raftery: "The final is at 9pm, then we lose an hour moving the clocks forward. Boy, that must really screw YOU up, Bill."

-- The A-10 website’s photo gallery (gee, why wasn’t Joe Sunderman available for pictures at halftime?):

-- Rush the Court had a live blog running during the St. Joe’s game:

-- Watched the Temple/Richmond game highlights on ESPN West. TU guard Khalif Wyatt tried the old create the contact while shooting a three by jumping into the defender play. All three of the refs swallowed their whistles.

Question: Does Tu Holloway get that call?

You bet your sweet a** he does.

-- Better late than never, I guess. The official Atlantic 10 website finally finished splicing the 8 mm videotape together and came up with highlights from the Xavier victory:

They should be done with the St. Joe’s highlights on Tuesday. It’s the league tournament for cryin’ out loud! Why is it so hard to find highlights?

-- Kevin Anderson of Richmond is one of those guys you love to hate because he is so ****ed good. Would I take him on the Flyer team? In a heartbeat!

-- The other guy that BG has to worry about on Sunday is Justin Harper who had 18 points and 9 boards vs. The Owls.

-- “The Sweet Tweet of the Week” comes from former UD Assistant Coach Reggie Rankin of ESPN.com:

Chris Wright has the Flyers in the A10 Final. Capable of dominating the game from an athletic standpoint and he plays hard every possession.

-- “From the Swamp” prediction:

Dayton 62
Richmond 58


That’s it “From the Swamp.”

Great reading. It's tough finding highlights anywhere in the media for an A10 team that
was unseeded, even when we are in the finals. It's like the A10 doesn't exist. Amazing.

Thanks.

Thanks Swampy. I was wondering why there wasn't any highlights from the X game.
