I forgot to complement Donny Marshall on his announcing today. He was a breath of fresh air after the crap we've had to put up with here in the states. His Lithuanian pronunciation was pretty awful but he knew what he was talking about and added value to the game.
Donny Marshall's UCONN teams in the early 90s is what got me into college basketball. Watching him, Ray Allen, Doron Sheffer and Travis Knight was a joy and I am still a UCONN fan today because of that group.
I also didn't mention that the refs were once again horrible. I felt sorry for Nigeria at the beginning of the game, they could not get a call. But the best FIBA ref moment of the game was when Lithuania had the ball with 7 seconds left on the shot clock and the time keepers sounded the horn and gave the ball to Nigeria. Solid officiating folks.
