Bill Raftery will be part of the announce crew for USC-Miami
The USC Trojans and Miami Hurricanes will play in the middle of the day on Friday in the Round of 64 in a tough 7-10 battle at the NCAA Tournament.
Also, the teams get the pleasure of having Bill Raftery as part of the broadcast team with Jim Nantz and Grant Hill. One of the signature voices in college basketball will watch two improving programs meet. It will be a special day for both basketball teams, even though both programs are more known for what they accomplish on the football field.
Let’s sit back and relive some of Raftery’s finest moments from a legendary career.
There are a lot to choose from, but we have dropped a few here for your viewing pleasure.
That clip was 32 years ago. Wow.
Here’s another legendary call from Raftery and Gus Johnson.
And, of course, last year in the UCLA-Gonzaga game brought out some golden quotes from Raftery.
Raftery patented the ONIONS call. Speaking of UCLA, the Bruins were on the wrong side of this ONIONS call by Raftery a year ago, thanks to Jalen Suggs.
Raftery has been doing this for a long time. In fact, he was doing this when Carmelo Anthony was at Syracuse.
Raftery is a legend, and perhaps we will get the joy of an ONIONS call during the USC-Miami game on Friday.
