VIDEO: ESPN Announcer Makes Strange NSFW Analogy on Utah Valley vs Kentucky Broadcast
By Michael Luciano
The Utah Valley Wolverines were matching John Calipari and the Kentucky Wildcats blow for blow at Rupp Arena, but this night might be best remembered for an NSFW announcing gaffe in the middle of the first half. The ESPN crew covering this game described Utah Valley's chase to pull off the impossible in a really NSFW fashion that the announcer probably regretted about two seconds after he said it.
Man, of all the phrases he could have used...
Oddly enough, Utah Valley's quest to, uh..., defeat Kentucky on the road almost succeeded, as the Wildcats had to escape Rupp Arena with an 82-74 win. The Wildcats, who looked like world beaters just a week ago, almost lost to Utah Valley and Evansville in back-to-back home games, which would have been nothing short of stunning.
Unless the Wolverines start to really make some noise in the WAC this year, the highlight of their season might be an eight-point road loss and an accidentally risqué summary of the game.
