The calls
The last few seconds of Saturday's game were harried for UCLA broadcaster Chris Roberts. There was the play with Donald Sloan and Josh Shipp. Then there was the score. Chris Roberts saw an official wave off Russell Westbrook's dunk because it came after time expired. UCLA won 53-49, but the score was 51-49 the next day after the NCAA took back the basket.
``I thought it was good, but I was afraid to give the score after Westbrook's slam because of the scoreboard malfunction,'' Roberts said. ``I saw an official wave it off, but I gave 53-49 because that's what was on the scoreboard.''
He also said he gave Shipp credit for a block on the play against Sloan in his play-by-play, and he was glad to later see that Dick Enberg did the same on CBS.
Chris really didn't have a chance to comment, given the crowd roar. I listened to him on the replay going home and he's barely audible over the screams of the fnas. Who said that Bruin fans don't stay to the end, and rock??!! That was the loudest game I've been to ever, and I say the Lakers win the 2000 championship, UCLA beat 'SC numerous times in the Rose Bowl, a ton of good games at Pauley. Bruin fans were rocking the Honda Center and Chris's ears were ringing!!
Chris Roberts is the worst play by play guy in college ball. I have no idea why he's still at UCLA. He's terrible.
I hope he leaves soon.
