Play-By-Play Announcer Freaks Out After Witnessing Unspectacular Basketball Play
On Nov. 27, the Bucknell men's basketball team defeated Dartmouth 62-49. I can only assume that the game was as boring and sloppy as the final score makes it seem, but that didn't stop the play-by-play announcer from becoming completely euphoric after witnessing a rather mundane layup....
