I only caught the pregame in the car and heard Marty Bannister calling it and he mentioned Russ slid over to TV, I assume doing the ESPN3 telecast...which is usually done by Marty. Anyone know why they did the trade?

I really like the way Marty called the game. Yes, I was at the game, but as usual I had a earphone in one ear listening to the game at the same time. Marty kept up with action very well and didn't once that I can recall substitute his judgement for that of an official. I really like this style of play-by-play. Also, to me his voice inflections we good at conveying the rhythm of the action and the pace of the game.

I thought OUr production had less of a homer feel than EMU's did Tuesday. No plugs for the coach's radio show and fewer shots of the home team huddle, although Russ called Ohio players by their first names a bit much late in the game.

I didn't realize he got to call one, but good for him. Lived in my dorm freshman year, ran the NCAA tourney bracket pool.
