For an ESPN blacked out game?

For the 2nd ranked BE team?

If Fox wants to just dub the radio feed over or even not have announcers, it'll be an upgrade on that front.

I thought they did a pretty good job.

Nowhere near the worst we've had this season.

Rafferty and Lundquist. They're each annoying enough on their own but together, I'd rather pop my own eardrums than listen to them. Rafferty especially.

Len Elmore is a special kind of awful as well.

The only thing I question about LaPhonso is why the hell he lives in South Bend. I know he's a domer, but c'mon, South Bend is a hole. He had a lengthy NBA career and made some cash, he can do better.

I actually like the old man team of Rafferty and Lundquist. In total agreement on Len Elmore though, truly awful.

Len Elmore was the worst. He is the benchmark against which pitiful color comentators in basketball should be compared. Do you have more than one thing to say about any player or team that is playing? If so, then you're already better than that failure.

They totally focused on the game and what was going on before them. Not the usual ESPN BS of talking about everything but the game being played. Second time I've heard La Phonso and he does not irritate me, which is high praise.

The over-enthusiast noises get to me after a while.

I also can't stand Al Michaels/Chris Collinsworth on SNF.

The Turtle is not a fool though. Harvard Law grad, practicing attorney. Famous story about him, a 64 oz steak dinner and the Pfister toilet where he lived while with the Bucks. The Turtle went to Power Memorial and considered signing with Marquette before inking with the Lefthander to play for the Terps.

His son pitched at Princeton. Good family.

He should stick to lawyering then because his commentary makes him sound like an idiot.

Well, Marv Albert and Steve Kerr are the best. Unfortunately, they don't do college hoops.

At the college level, it's hard to beat Bilas as an analyst. Unfortunately, he doesn't do it often and when he does they make him part of a three-man team with Raftery, who has fallen absolutely in love with his catchphrases and has turned into a caricature of himself.

Kerr has done some NCAA tourney games in the past.
