That we get to watch any game we want with the CBS/TNT/TBS/TruTV package throughout the tournament is awesome. What sucks is that the NBA guys have no idea in many cases as to what they are even discussing. Charles Barkley just stated that Kentucky should win as Wisconsin will be lucky to get to 60. The Badgers average 73 points per game. My guess is that he didn't watch Wisconsin play one game all season long.
Get some announcers that know what the fuck they are talking about.

LOL. So, CBF was watching the Florida feed the whole time...and complaining about it being pro-Florida?? That is fantastic if thats the case.

8th seed Villanova is the lowest to win the championship. UConn is the first #7 seed to advance to the final.wghfan;1601395 wrote:IF Kentucky wins, would a #7 seed vs. #8 seed, be the lowest seeds ever to play for the championship? I would think so, but didn't go look it up.
That would be the lowest seeded final, I think, in at least 40 years...still true even allowing for KY being seeded too low.

Why isn't it on CBS though? Was it like this last year?

Part of the TBS/TNT deal. TBS will be carrying the national title game in 2016 as well. Sucks, but it's part of the give-and-take of being able to get to watch all the games with the package. So in that sense, I am ok with many of the announcers fucking sucking. At least we get to choose which game to watch in the earlier rounds.wildcats20;1601407 wrote:Why isn't it on CBS though?

Not that I disagree, but KY would have beaten Wichita St, Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin...if they won it all I'd say they proved they were the best team.

Gotcha. I don't watch pre and post game shit, so I don't really care.reclegend22;1601408 wrote:Part of the TBS/TNT deal. TBS will be carrying the national title game in 2016 as well.

Nantz does his thing, doesn't bother me. Greg Anthony is meh and I've always liked Kerr.

I like Barkley and Smith doing NBA. But they are terrible doing NCAA. As you said, casual cbb fans at best.Mohican00;1601398 wrote:

They could have easily lost those games as well, one game scenario they got it done though. Doesn't prove to me that they are the better team or the best team. May be in the minority on that but I've played enough to know sometimes it's a make or miss game.gut;1601409 wrote:Not that I disagree, but KY would have beaten Wichita St, Louisville, Michigan and Wisconsin...if they won it all I'd say they proved they were the best team.

I don't really watch it, either. I don't give a fuck about their useless analysis (read: guessing). But having to listen to how stupid some of those guys are for any length of time is beyond obnoxious. It's as if they do absolutely no homework at all.wildcats20;1601410 wrote:Gotcha.

I thought it was pretty good idea as on TBS was Nantz but on TNT was the Florida announcers and Tru TV had the UConn announcers.centralbucksfan;1601404 wrote:My bad, I was on TNT. Must be SEC suckfest seeing as Rex Chapman is doing the UK/Wisky game. Moving over to TruTv!

I love Charles. I could listen to him talk about anything, dont care how dumb he is.
Kerr/Anthony is a HUGE upgrade over Bill P or Clark Kellogg. In fact, when Clark Kellogg and his dumbass analogies finally left the FF, it instantly became better than it has ever been.

That's why it's not trivial that they would have gone thru 4 legit title contenders just to reach the finals. They run that gauntlet, they're the best team, no doubt.robj55;1601412 wrote:They could have easily lost those games as well...

Agree with this. Winning six games in a row in 19 days with all the pressure of playing on the sport's biggest stage is a feat deserving of being called the best team.gut;1601420 wrote:That's why it's not trivial that they would have gone thru 4 legit title contenders just to reach the finals.
