What a performance by Rob Calhoun.
The play-by-play man is relentless in saying the word "basketball". Calhoun will say it multiple times in a possession if needed. Thursday it was said 116 (!) times in Eastern Illinois' 75-67 win.
Let's break down this record-setting achievement:

Game 556 - First of 68
Ohio Valley championship
(2) Belmont vs. (1) Murray State
March 3 at Ford Center in Evansville, IN
ESPN2
Murray State completed a fantastic turnaround and advanced to the NCAAs for the first time since 2011-12 with a 68-51 victory.
The Racers finished 16-17 a year ago, but moved to 26-5 with their 13th consecutive victory (last loss was to this same Belmont team on January 18). Johnathan Stark led the way with 24 points, and though he struggled from three-point range (2-of-10), he was excellent on twos (8-of-11). Three others were in double figures for the Racers - Temetrius Morant (15 points) and Leroy Buchanan and Terrell Miller (11 each).
* Roy Philpott and Adrian Branch!
"he lives in the gym"
"Kyrie Irvingesque"
"dynamite from bonus land"
"stop and pop for a three-point shot"
"plays with a chip on his shoulder the right way" (?)
"put back presence"
"got caught ball-watching"
"dribble drive" ! - 11:32 left in the first half
"a bubblelicious match up"
"plays bigger than his 6-2 frame"
"coach K"
"Luke dropping dimes like it's his job, and it is"/"Austin Luke is playing chess while everyone else is playing checkers"
"center by committee"
"what did Kevin McClain eat pregame? gun powder!"

Game 547 - (8) Murray State women vs. (1) Belmont
Ohio Valley first round
February 28 at Ford Center in Evansville, IN
OVC Digital Network
The Associated Press No. 22 Bruins got a bit of a scare, leading by a single point late in the third quarter, but a strong fourth sent the regular season champions to the semifinals.
It was 41-40 after Murray State's Bria Bethea (team-high 21 points) converted a lay-up with about 4 1/2 minutes to play in the third. Darby Maggard drained three 3-pointers as Belmont (29-3) closed the third on a 17-8 run, then the Bruins out-scored the eighth-seeded Racers 30-16 in the final period.
The junior Maggard, top-30 nationally in three-point percentage, hit 5-of-12. She's also a top-40 in assists and she handed out six Wednesday and Belmont had 23 as a team on 34 made baskets. Kylee Smith (21 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists) and Sally McCabe (19 points on 9-of-14 shooting, 13 rebounds) were both excellent for Belmont (29-3), which has won 38 consecutive games against league opponents.
Last game for Ke'Shunan James, the OVC player of the year, who had 17 points and 11 rebounds, but was just 6-of-21 from the field.
