That is right up there, in terms of end-game excitement and game-call, no?
Look, the player execution was tremendous and without every part of it, Stanford comes up short.
So I'll focus on the broadcaster. It's hard to do - capture the play by play and the excitement, and Danna nailed it. In comparison, check out the TV broadcast, where the announcers were basically bummed out by the bucket. Serious question: were those TV announcers somehow Buffs-related? Because it was clear they were more concerned about Colorado's heartbreak than they were Stanford's excitement . . . which is very odd if the broadcast team is supposed to be neutral.
Murph and Platz call of the Rhode Island comeback (leading to Final Four) and Pohlen's layup at the buzzer (also leading to Final Four) take the prize. As for regular season games, nothing compares to Nick Robinson keeping Stanford undefeated in buzzer-beater over Arizona at maples (Dick Vitale: "It's a MAD HOUSE in here!!"). But this one is awfully good, and the call of Danna will keep it up there over the years.
