Wow. Billy Packer just told us that he "warned" Tom Izzo at halftime about the tempo of the game, and guess what? Packer proclaimed himself right and Izzo wrong near the end of the game.



Packer also informed the audience that Louisville should have listened to him as well, but instead that numbskull Pitino played the wrong defense and Louisville lost because of it.

:machinegun:

Question: if Billy Packer knows so much more about coaching basketball than either Tom Izzo or Rick Pitino, why doesn't he coach or ever be mentioned as a coaching candidate?

Billy Packer belongs on ESPN with the rest of the numbskulls.

What can I say? I like ESPN. I think Billy Packer is insightful. I'm even mildly entertained by Dick Vitale.

I noticed him ranting and raving last night. Maybe he just likes to hear himself talk.

I like Vitale too.

And I can't believe any of you that bash ESPN all the time... Recognize the fact that howevever biased they may be, you'd probably die without them.
