Kevin Harlan perfectly called his own play as an errant Ole Miss-UNC ball flew at him
Kevin Harlan is an incredible broadcaster with a wide array of sports and events on his resume — along with being the king of ad reads and giving fans moments like, "AND A LOT OF VOWELS!"
The CBS Sports broadcaster is a man of many talents, and he reminded March Madness fans of that Friday during the men's NCAA tournament first-round game between Ole Miss and North Carolina.

With about two minutes left in the first half of the game — Ole Miss ultimately won, 71-64 — an errant ball was flying off the court directly toward the courtside broadcasters. And Harlan delivered the perfect call while getting his hand on the ball.
"Saves the ball with a leap," Harland said of Ole Miss guard Jaylen Murray. "Knocked out of bounds, deflected me, and off to the side."

"I was saving you," Harlan said to Stan Van Gundy sitting next to him. GREAT SAVE.
