ESPN microphones picked up the comments, which were not acknowledged by the play-by-play announcer.
Our Reading
The game followed a familiar script.
Unidentified voices whispering obscenities on live TV, because of course.
ESPN’s hot mic picked it up, because they’re always watching.
Kevin Brown, the play-by-play announcer, didn’t flinch, because he’s a pro.
This is the moment that will be remembered, not the actual game.
Original Observation: The hot mic moment was just one of several surprising developments leading up to the tournament, because that’s what happens when you’re trying to make sports news.
