Benz - "and a 13-0 run overall!"

I know its a redundant Benzism, but his obsession with the 2 for 1 is astounding. There could be 25 seconds left on the clock when a team controls an offensive possession, and he will be talking about if they hurry up, they can get a 2 for 1.

Pete should sarcastically ask him to explain what a 2 for 1 is to the audience.

My new favorite is when we turn it over with 30 seconds or less to go.."the good news is, the Wolves will get the last shot"...yeah, that's great :roll:

"Denver now pulls it within 2 points. The closest the game has been since it was 7 to 11."

what about when it was 0 to 2?

A couple tonight that you could tell Pete was shaking his head at...

talking about ideas being thrown around for a new playoff format.

Benz - "One idea that is catching steam is having play in games for the 7th and 8th seed." Pete - laughter, and then "catching steam where, in your head?"

the other one, KAT cleanly strips Capella of the ball, but gets called for a foul..."Karl didnt think he fouled him, although it might not be that bad to send him to the line. Better to have him there than throwing dunks down."

you can hear a chuckle from Pete, and then a "aaii.." but then decides hes not going to explain that getting a foul and putting someone on the line is not a good thing when there was clearly no foul.

On Colin Sexton's age...

"He is 19, and that's an appropriate number for him, because he averaged about 19 points a game for Alabama last year."

Tyus and Gorgui enter game.
Opponents score 3 points.
Wolves then score 13 points with Tyus and Gorgui in the game.

Happy to math for you.

It was suggested a couple nights ago over Twitter to Jim Pete. Pete loved it and brought it to the broadcast, with Benz stealing it.

Benz making a big deal about towns picking up his 4th foul with under 3:00 left in the game.

It's a game that could have gone to overtime, it would be huge at that point.
