Fox Sports B-Ball Coverage

Don't remember hearing it during Saturday's OSU game. When did they start playing the old John Tesh NBC/NBA theme? Made me think I was watching an old Bulls payoff game.

Yeah, I wondered the same thing......

What a spectacular song.
Fox acquired the rights in 2018, and used it last year.
The song is called “Roundball Rock”, which is spectacular for several reasons.

Awesome MD/WI game going on BTW.

Great game. MD shooting the lights out.

That MSU win isn't looking so impressive now though........

Somehow, "Bulls" and "playoffs" sound weird in the same sentence. Kinda like ketchup and hot dogs.

Yeah Fox bought the rights to it a couple years ago, presumably from NBC? They have been using it the last 2 seasons for CBB on Fox, mostly Big Ten and Big East games. It is a great song. Need Bob Costas on the call.... although Gus isn't bad.

There’s a mildly amusing story about how Tesh wrote it in this video.
