Running Sweet 16 thread

Packer and Nantz are working the East Regional in East Rutherford.

 

What about Gus Johnson?

I need to know which games to watch with the mute button on.

 

Here's your CBS lineup (I guess Gus Johnson didn't make the cut):

Thursday:

San Jose- 7:10 Tip- Kansas/Southern Illinois- Dick Enberg/Jay Bilas
San Antonio- 7:27 Tip- Memphis/Texas A&M- Verne Lundquist/Bill Raftery
San Jose- 9:30 Tip- UCLA/Pittsburgh- Dick Enberg/Jay Bilas
San Antonio- 9:45 Tip- Ohio State/Tennessee- Verne Lundquist/Bill Raftery

Friday:

St. Louis- 7:10 Tip- Florida/Butler- James Brown/Len Elmore
East Rutherford- 7:27 Tip- Georgetown/Vanderbilt- Jim Nantz/Billy Packer
St. Louis- 9:30 Tip- UNLV/Oregon- James Brown/Len Elmore
East Rutherford- 9:45 Tip- UNC/USC- Jim Nantz/Billy Packer

 

I can't stand Gus Johnson as much as the next guy, but why is holy hell is James Brown doing Sweet Sixteen games? He's just as bad doing play-by-play.

 

My first thought was, "Who's at Rupp Arena for the Kentucky boys' state tournament?"

 

Would rather have Gus Johnson sing me to sleep than to listen to Nantzy and Paccer.

this will be over by halftime

 

That was bullshit. He had the ball in his hand still when the buzzer went off. I smell some homer refs in this one.

 

Once again I have to wonder, why the fuck does the NCAA schedule two games at the same time. Show games during the day. People will watch.

I agree. But there is MMOD. Quite handy in this case.

 

True, but it doesn't help newspapers any that the games are starting so damn late.

If fans will watch during the day while the first two rounds are going on, isn't it a safe bet they'd watch if some Sweet 16 games were on in the afternoon?
