Phil Fayne: 17 pts on 8/12 shooting, 5 rebounds and 4 blocks

I stand corrected

De'tae McMurray averaging 24 points and 6 assists with 6:1 A:TO ratio in MVC play.

In an Illinois State game I watched on ESPN3, an announcer did say that Illinois State had the best talent in the league. That little sound clip might make it into some Valley film sessions.

The ESPN3 telecasts are produced by the schools so that announcer would definitely be biased.
I would say the Shockers have the best talent followed by ISUr and MSU. If the Redbird announcer was
including their two transfers on the bench that would help ISU close the gap overall!

We have some major homer announcers for ISUr...again somebody somewhere.

I can't stand Bob Morris, he just breathes heavily into the mic the whole game and rambles on about everything.

That breathing got on my nerves real quick. I had to mute it and listen to the Aces radio broadcast.

The color guy for the WSU/ISU game on FOX was awful. That said, I love me some MVC TV games so who cares.
The MSU guys are not good when it's Ned Reynolds (can't follow the game) and Kelby Stuckey (homer).

That was former player Aubrey Sherrod, making a special guest appearance. I believe that was his first time commentating in any sort of capacity.

Maybe so and maybe he was real nervous but if it wasn't a Shocker, he didn't know their name.
