I too agree thought Vandross's version was much better.

Jennifer Hudson was on it more than any of the teams. "Back in the day" they used to have at least a small clip of each of the teams in the tourney, with obviously longer/more highlights from the teams that went further. This time they just bastardized it.

This was a very weak effort. CBS should be embarrassed.

That was a joke. They were showing her instead of a jumpball during the 'the ball is tipped' line. What a poor effort. They need to bring back Luther.

Yeah, she sang it faster I thought also and was WAY to loud.

CBS didnt show any real K St -- Xavier highlightes from arguably the best game of the tourney. Just the reactions of the players. It was retarded. No OU, no OSU, barley anything from the teams that made a run....and those teams they showed sporadically instead of lumping the highlightes together based on when they took place. I was thoroughly disappointed.

Oh, they showed a shit load of Chism from Tennessee for whatever reason. I counted the Tennessee jerseys at least 4 times.

Xavier/Kansas State highlights were almost completely omitted. What a great game that was.

Several players and reactions from Wofford were shown. WTF did they do? I believe they lost their first game, so how is that a shining moment.

Ohio University completely dominated a potential elite eight/final four participant, yet nothing was shown.

The Player of the Year in all the polls didn't make the highlights whatsoever. I don't like OSU all that much, but still to not show the consensus National Player of the Year is downright terrible.

To top if off, they showed too much of the singer...ABSOLUTELY NO REASON TO DO THAT. At least 6 more highlights from other teams could have been shown instead of popping her ass onto the camera.

I can't wait for the tournament to leave CBS. Sure I'll miss Gus Johnson's calls, but other than that, having the games on CBS does nothing for me.

cbs whiffed on a lot of things during the tournament.

i don't give a shit about survivor, the amazing race, etc. please don't cut away from the game during a timeout when something is going on (coach yelling at refs etc.). i give cbs a D on this tournament. in years past they've done a great job, truly disappointed this year.

You can't fault CBS for advertising their shows. They got $6 Billion wrapped up in the NCAA tourney contract, they have to advertise their stuff some to keep people watching outside the NCAA and get a little return on the investment.

HORRIBLE, a pack of sreaming dogs would have sounded better. I agree with ts1227, a lot of it has to do with money and CBS's investment. But, please never have Jennifer Hudson sing, if that is what she did? There are better choices out there.
