ESPN’s Rece Davis hilariously delivered a line about community bacon after a missed free throw

There was more on the line than an important ACC conference game between the men of Miami and Virginia Tech on Tuesday night. As the second half of a tight battle winded down, a usual Virginia Tech promotion from the company Smithfield came into focus.

If Miami would miss consecutive free throws, everyone at Cassell Coliseum would go home with free bacon. It came down to the Hurricanes’ Jordan Miller with a little over 4:30 left, who missed a first free throw and set everything into motion.

As Miller stepped to the line for his second shot, ESPN’s Rece Davis — who was announcing the game — set the moment up. And when Miller missed the second shot, Davis had a hilarious reaction.

I don’t know whether “bacon for everybody!” or “sizzle ’em up” in the frying pan” makes me laugh more, but I’m happy Davis just allowed me to have that debate.

Miami would go on to win 76-70, but I think Virginia Tech fans and us, by extension, still got the essential bacon victory.
