FRIDAY/SUNDAY
Buffalo: Gus Johnson and Len Elmore
Milwaukee: Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel

San Jose and Milwaukee got jobbed.

The Syracuse/Gonzaga second round game will be epic. Gotta have one big time game with Gus Johnson announcing, and I'm going to predict that's it.

What about Vermont beating Syracuse AGAIN with Gus calling it?

As for sites getting jobbed, they have to send a team everywhere. At least James Brown isn't calling games anymore.

Ian Eagle and Jim Spanarkel

I mean, I've never heard of either of these two...Spanarkel?...WTF

not that it matters but...geesh

Ian Eagle does a lot of NFL games for CBS as well as some of the regular season bball games.

Yeah, if you haven't heard of Ian Eagle, you must never watch the NFL on CBS.

Spanarkel and Eagle aren't bad. Jim played at Duke. I don't mind that trio. I wish they had Greg Anthony calling games though. He's better than Gminski and Bonner IMO. The best pairing is Dick Enberg with Jay Bilas. Enberg is one of the worst at this stage, and Bilas is probably the most articulate, but opinionated.

I follow Gus Johnson

Brando and Gminski work well together though AZ, which is why they will NEVER be broken up lol.

And Enberg needs to retire, yesterday.

I know Ian Eagle, but I didn't put 2+2 together, and I really don't watch CBS too much as a Browns fan, usually too pissed off to watch much after that and haven't caught him enough for him to make an impression I guess.

Bilas gets people pissed but I don't mind listening to him, as you say he is articulate.

Spanarkel played at Duke He's been doing college games for a long time, but I don't particularly "hope" my team is ever broadcasted by him. Eagle is worse. I hate his voice. I don't know why. Just hate it.

Duke got robbed. I don't like Nantz. He's there because of the Duke-Louisville game (which, I imagine, will be one of the highlight second round games for CBS, and likely that lone national game on Sunday at noon), and CBS thinks he "takes the game to another level." And Kellogg was great when he was in the studio with Greg, but not so much in the booth. Ehh.

I REALLY wanted Enberg, but never have such luck. Kevin Harlan or Gus Johnson would have been nice, too.

More importantly, where's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

Thanks for bringing all that here, sportswizurd. Appreciate it.

I plead ignorant on Sparkalicious, having played for Duke may explain my innability to recognize him.

Haha Spanarkalicious. Yes, I could see where that be a random as hell announcer to see broadcasting the NCAAs if you didn't know him.

Why does a game in Milwaukee tip off at 12:25? So 11:25 there? How is that even remotely a good idea or fair to those 2 teams?

Same thing for BYU and Florida in Oklahoma City?

San Jose games as well.

True, I didn't notice the San Jose games.

Guess thats another incentive to get a higher or a much lower seed.
