I came to this thread to post how much I can't stand Bill Walton as an announcer for a game.  It looks like I am not the only one. I had to turn off the volume to watch.

Stanford might have trouble against a team with a tall, strong post player.

Well, I'm in the other camp - I like Walton as an announcer.  Only caught last 7 minutes of 1H today and was chuckling the whole time through his stream-of-consciousness commentary (and yes, including the shrooms can save the planet sidelight).  But he'll give some good game commentary, too . . . like when some guy from UNC chucked up an airball from three.  Bill interrupted his own rambling with:  "Oh . . . so close!"  I'm chuckling just recalling that one.

I suppose like most things, moderation is best.  But still, he doesn't take himself too seriously, which is generally a good thing in my book.  And a free spirit ain't bad, either.

P.S. A legit concern with Haase teams is the ability to score late in games. I agree that nothing is conclusive after this back-to-back game against a good team; still, it's a bit concerning.
