Couldn't make it to the BC today, so watched from home. How Tim Welch is even employed is beyond me. He called Vander Todd Mayo on two seperate occasions, and never corrected himself when it was obvious to whom he was referring.
He said 'Cincy may get an 11 seed..........I would hate to be the 4 seed that has to face them in the tourney." Last time that I checked 11 plays a 6, and i'm not even on the payroll . These second class announcers that we seem to get, are so eager to provide listeners with proof of their 'homework' that they did an hour before the game--regardless of the actoin on the floor. If I had better reception where I live, I would have turned on Homer and Mac.
I think I'm the only who kinda liked them today. Announcers have been confusing Blue and Mayo all season (about the same size and single digit uniform numbers, I guess). Tim Welsh is on the Big East show on SNY all the time and he's pretty pointless on that show, but I liked his humor today, particularly after Jones made his 3s. Beth Mowins is professional and solid. I used to hate the idea of women calling these games, but the ones doing college basketball are pretty good.

three mistakes all game? wow, what an amateur.
I agree that Beth Mowins is solid and a good announcer. Welsh was awful.

I see your mistake. You thought he meant in the opening round. He really meant in the Elite 8 game. ;)
Welsh was awful. He kept referring to our freshman as unknown players, when most of them were Top 100 high school players. He seems to amuse only himself. Mowins was solid which made up for Welsh' incoherent thoughts.
her and mike kelley would make a good team. welsh was almost as bad as he was coaching.
The MU/Depaul women's BB game is on ESPN2 right now. Beth Mowins is doing this game.
I wonder of Mowins has had an all MU weekend before?
And, let me repeat what I wrote above, she is really solid as a play-by-play announcer, both for Men's and Women's games.
welsh: Couldn't recruit, can't announce.
Yeah! I knew Al Mcguire and Welsh is no Al McGuire.

I kind of liked Welsh too. I thought there were a few times when he pointed out specific scenarios that were actually a little insightful. For instance, he said Cincy should add another ball handler when we were forcing all those TO's, and he called out our 2H defense for not being aggressive enough in the half-court.
I didn't find him awful.
