per Marcus:
Q: Have you changed your announcing style at all this year with a new coach?
A: I told the Gophers before the season started I would do whatever they wanted. Nicknames would be great. They wanted a lot of enthusiasm. They said they wanted the students and the crowd to really get into it. I think that's happened to some of the games. Illinois and Northwestern really didn't have a whole lot when we didn't play that well. But the fans have really reacted when we did. Our season-ticket base is a little older crowd. But they are so faithful. I don't think a lot of people realistically expected them to go to the NCAA tournament. It would be an additional piece to the puzzle in (Pitino's) first year.
