I hope Avery Johnson is only calling these games. His analysis is good but his delivery isn't.
It's too bad he won't accept that his position in basketball is probably being the best assistant coach available. Id take Avery Johnson as my main assistant in a hot second.
They lead their conf but 21 per game. So that just means they basically get to double bonus each half, not terrible. Getting nearly to double bonus in 6 minutes is insane. If they keep it up they won't have enough players left lol.
I have no rooting interest, but I do now, let's get you that money! lol
I don’t mind his analysis, I’d rather hear guys talk that actually know the game.
Okay I got a second bet. I need Jalen Jackson the point guard to get seven rebounds and win the game to win a hundred bucks off of $5 bet. Lol. He has 1 so far.... Yesssss! You're telling me there's a chance
I'm liking so far what's happening with my team here and my bet 6 minutes to go

Whew that 3 looked like it was taken by a former co-worker.
That guy seems pretty cool.Whew that 3 looked like it was taken by a former co-worker.
He can spot a UFO and Bigfoot at the same time.
That was a good time out just now by smu U or whatever.
I'm sure he's telling his team right now look there's this guy bluegrass that can win $30. We got to cut this lead down to one point guys. Come on now we can't let this guy win
Let's go guys 1 2 3 **** the gambler!!!!

Thank you thank you. Paid 29.
Moral of the story before the game check and see if either one of the teams are foul prone. The referee's know this **** before the game starts and they look harder
Great story out of the Michigan Toledo game. Ray J Dennis, a guard for Toledo was born with a clubbed-foot. He averages 19.7pts, 4.4 rebs, and 5.7 assists per game. Shoots 49% from the floor and 37% from 3 this season as a senior. He looks like he could fit in at one of these top 5-6 conferences. He's as good as any guard Michigan has.
Carla and Ray already had two daughters, so Ray was excited to find out they’d be having a son. As a former athlete himself, he dreamed of watching his son play sports and coaching his teams growing up.
Those thoughts quickly changed when doctors informed them of the clubfoot diagnosis during a regular prenatal checkup.
“When we got the news that he had the situation, as a dad you are thinking about your son and being an athlete and everything,” Ray Dennis said. “You’re trying to figure out what that means.”
Doctors cautioned up front that he might have limitations.
“We had been told on several occasions to lower our expectations of what he would be capable of doing physically,” Carla Dennis said.
Clubfoot can be treated and corrected on most occasions, at least to a point in which the person can walk normally and not have it hinder them. Growing up to be a Division I athlete is a different story.
The Dennis family went through what Carla called a “very rigorous, hard process of finding and selecting the doctors” to help try and correct the issue. As Christians they also did a lot of praying.
“He went through a corrective process in his toddler years which was very involved with surgeries and other procedures,” Carla Dennis said. “It meant that he started walking at a much later age, but he hasn’t had any issues with it since. That in it of itself has been a pleasant surprise to his doctors.
"They expect you’ll have issues and there are other kids that developmentally aren’t able to do the things that RayJ is able to do. Quite frankly it just hasn’t hindered his quality of life. He went through the process and he hasn’t looked back.”
His first cast was placed on his right foot when he was just six days old, and he eventually had to wear full casts nearly up to his waist on both legs for several months. Most babies should be learning to roll over and crawl and walk in their early months, but Dennis was mostly immobile for the first two years of his life.
“It was a very involved process for a few years,” Ray Dennis said.
But doctors were able to successfully correct the issue, and Dennis had the final cast removed shortly after he turned two. He started walking at a much later age than a typical child — between his second and third birthday.

Really? That’s what the fuss is about?
YEEEESSSSS!
Ok then, must be gambling I guess.
It's been 49 hours since college basketball was played. If you don't understand that... I can't help you.
Avery Johnson played college basketball for Southern. They played UK in the NCAAT back in the 80s with Rex, Davender and the crew.
I just can't take 2 straight hours of listening to Avery Johnson's voice. Its very grating.
