Oregon State Play-By-Play Announcer Claims He Was Assaulted Before Sweet 16

Oregon State play-by-play radio voice Mike Parker claims he was assaulted in Indianapolis right before he called the team's 65–58 win on Saturday over Loyola Chicago in the Sweet 16.

In an interview with The Oregonian, Parker said he was enjoying a walk along downtown’s Canal Walk when he was approached by a man who he described as scraggly and in his mid-20s.

Parker said the man crossed the bridge to get to his side of the canal and asked him what he had in his bag.
