Who’s this color announcer? He is terrible.

 

[Raiders70]

The one thing I love about the tournament is the production value is really good and the crews going the game. Everything is so much better than if ESPN was doing it

I feel like that wasn't always the case. This must be some kind of cost saving edict from the top at ESPN.

Lappas He is god awful

 

[CloniesForLife]

For the most part, CBS tends to let the event speak for itself. No ESPN sensationalism.

I've found all the crews to be very knowledgeable as well. Whatever prep they do is very good

I think we save the Meteor Strike for the Auburn vs. Iowa National Championship Game!

Ugh! Hurts my eyes to even read that match up for a Natty.

His voice is annoying but I think he gives good insight

Arkansas and Saint John's both suck....why can't we be in this bracket. These teams are terrible

Beyond. It’s like the guy some half cocked guy out of a local bar.

 

[Raiders70]

Megan Calipari seems to be a bit of a head case.lol

 

[Cyched]

Cal is an insufferable sleaze...but he can coach.

A sort of @HoopsTournament-esque note: The previous time St. John's won a round of 64 game, in 2000, it was a 2 seed, then lost to a 10 in R32 (Gonzaga).

 

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Calipari wins the battle of the slimeballs

 

[ISUTex]

How did St John's get a two seed? Big East sucks.

 

[rosshm16]

44 fouls in this game.

So happy we’ve had Van Gundy for our games. Even without the CBB background, he’s very good.

 

[Kinch]

Hope this isnt a bad omen for Creighton.

 

[rosshm16]

Van Gundy is a legit Cyclone fan, he's the best.

Lappas He is god awful

Just an absolute disaster.

And the worst part is he's got a 50/50 shot at being in Atlanta next weekend.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Goes to show spending a shitload of money on a roster can payoff

Steve Lappas. KNOWS East Coast Ball.
