The No. 8 Oregon Ducks took down the Washington Huskies 64-61 in overtime Saturday in Pac-12 action. The game was tied 61-61, when Oregon guard Payton Pritchard nailed a long, contested three-pointer — his sixth of the game — with 3.2 seconds remaining in overtime. Pritchard’s go-ahead three would serve as the game-winner for Oregon.
This would’ve been an awesome hoops moment on its own, but it’s so much better with the commentary of CBS announcers Ian Eagle and Bill Raftery:
OOOONNNNNNIONS!!!!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/6XN58mlTNP

Eagle and Raftery both reacting with an “OOOOOOOOOOOOOH!” at the same time is great. And we got a good ol’ “ONIONS!” from Raftery.
Hopefully we can get much more of this duo calling college basketball games in the future (especially in March, please).
