Sorry if this was mentioned elsewhere. This may have, probably was, the worst announcing job I ever ever had the displeasure of being subjected to. The two chuckleheads announcing the game acted like they were hosting a talk show. I literally expected one of them to blurt out at some point, "Hey when did the game start?" Women's basketball announcing has far too many babblers (men and women) as it is but these two are Hall of Fame worthy. If it had been a road game I would have muted the sound.

They ruined a great, close game with their stories instead of actually calling the game at hand? I despise CBS Sports.....

I don't know why you all torture yourselves. I almost always watch sports with the sound off. My wife likes (as we say) "the noise," but when she's out of the room, it's back to mute. Pretend you're at the game and there's no play-by-play chattering.

I watched the UCONN highlights (UCONN baskets only) on YouTube yesterday, I did mute that.

You'd think by now in their careers the notion of play by play would have seeped in.

apparently, play by play is an out-moded idea, no longer persisting in the video environment.
I hate tv announcers. they suck. in general.

I think the announcers were fine. But we watch every UConn game. So of course we know the players more than the commentary team. We know more about Villanova too. So, that means they come off to us as lacking expertise. It is what it is. Shrug.
