As UNLV’s game against Duke quickly got away Saturday, D’mon Cotton knew he had a lot of time to fill on the radio broadcast knowing most listeners would no longer care much about the play-by-play.
He had learned from experience in the spring, broadcasting seven UNLV baseball games, a sport that by its methodical nature forces announcers to look for various ways to fill time.
So Cotton and is broadcast partner, Raheem Bennett, had to scramble as the Blue Devils dominated in the 94-45 victory.
“We were talking more about like do you think Duke is actually forcing UNLV to play so terrible,” Cotton said.
