For those doubting this, look at our own noncon schedule and actual attendance. Lots of people skip those blowouts because they can get pretty boring too after the first couple. Now imagine having 20 of those games every year.

Harlan making sure that the other guys laid out and let the moment breathe is TOP NOTCH play by play.
He's my absolute favorite going today.

The Zags are an enigma of a program. Back in the early days, they killed me in the Tournament picks when they were seeded in the lower depths and advanced beyond their seed in the Tournament. Now, they have earned the right to have a higher seed IMO and do well most of the time. Plus, I do respect they play tough OOC game including beating Alabama @ Birmingham this year.
Intriguing, don't often see announcers during a big moment, I tend to envision them as being mostly “static” physically, using voice delivery/intensity to describe the action — Harlan reacted physically like a fan/viewer might. Maybe that’s common for him … I’m so used to hearing & not seeing during action, so I don’t know.

I'm in a pool with someone who has 12/16 still standing too like @dahliaclone! Granted, I made some goofy picks based on who I simply like (ISU, Drake and Northwestern for example), but I totally wiped out this year for the most part. Marquette can suck it!
I filled out 2 brackets. The 1st, I got to my final 4 and realized it was 4 Big East teams! I swapped out Xavier for Texas.
I have Marquette in the final 4 in both. UCONN winning It all in both. Couldn't get out of my head how good and deep they looked in Portland. I think it will be them again Alabama.

I'm just shocked they are able to call a moment like that without cussing. I'd be on the mic like "HOLY ****!"
Those are the moments that make this tournament absolutely magic. It's cool being able to see how the announcers reacted on camera.
According to the CBS TV schedule:
Brian Anderson / Jim Jackson // Allie LaForce
(For Sweet 16 Thursday, that crew is doing (3) K-State (7) vs Michigan State and (9) FAU vs (4) Tennessee.)
When are Saturdays games? It doesn't have a time on ESPN. Do they wait to announce game times? I figured since there are only a couple games it could be more pre determined. Trying to schedule some Saturday plans but obviously can't miss the games
After Thursdays games they will schedule Saturdays
