@JustinDeFeo That did help, no Gus Johnson though? I don't know about you but love that guy at tourney time.
@BSansom08 Oh no doubt, he was the best..but I'm pretty sure he's no longer w\/ CBS. Maybe Fox now? That's prob. why.
@JustinDeFeo I think you're right about him being with Fox. I know he hasn't been with CBS for a couple years. Some of these guys are brutal
@awfulannouncing is it pathetic I knew the exact game you used for the corresponding picture?

@iveyjanette_207 @awfulannouncing @randy87109 I like Dedes a lot. I met him in San Jose when the Lobos were there as a 3 seed last time.
@GeoffGrammer @awfulannouncing @randy87109 I've been a big @SperoDedes fan for a long time-he did @Lakers games on radio for a while.
Rex Chapman will be a Studio Analyst from Atlanta for March Madness this year too, which means that Turner might not be using current Head Coaches as Guest Analysts in their Studio coverage of March Madness this year, like they have been doing for the last 2 years and here are the Studio crews from Atlanta for TruTV's coverage of the 1st Four on Tuesday and Wednesday, on Tuesday the Studio Crew will be the same as it was for the Infiniti Selection Show on TruTV on Sunday Night of Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Steve Smith and Rex Chapman and on Wednesday night the Studio crew will be Matt Winer, Seth Davis, Steve Smith and Rex Chapman.
I have a correction to make, Greg Anthony was in the Studio for the 1st Four on TruTv last night and he was working double duty, because he was also working as an analyst for the NBATv Fan Night Game last night too and Rex Chapman wasn't in the Studio for Trutv's coverage of the 1st Four last night, even though Turner Sports put out a Press Release on Sunday saying that he would be and Marv Albert made the same mistakes when announcing that Inside March Madness from Turner's Atlanta Studios would have EJ, Charles Barkley, Rex Chapman and Steve Smith before correcting himself and saying oops my bad Greg Anthony is with the guys in our Atlanta studios and not Rex Chapman like this Press Release right in front of me says to which Steve Kerr repied Greg Anthony is outraged in our Studios to which Marv Albert replies sorry Greg i didn't mean to give you the short end of the stick.
However Rex Chapman has said on his Twitter page that he will be in Atlanta as a Studio analyst for the next few nights!
Wow, does CBS/Turner have a loaded announce crew or what?
Nantz/Kellogg Verne/Raft Marv/Kerr Ian/Jim Harlan/Elmore
That is a stacked lineup. Have you noticed that they've spaced the first set of Thurs. games? Its 12:15, 12:40 and 1:40. I remember when the games were 12:15,12:25 and 12:40.
Giantsfan1982 this is the 3rd year in a row that they have been spacing out the schedule like that and don't be suprised if the 3rd game from Utah starts later than 7:20 ET because they are suppose to have a 50 minute break between games 2 and 3 and the 2nd game from Utah is schedule to start at approximately 4:10 ET,this also goes for the 3rd game from San Jose on Thursday too which is schedule to start at 7:27 ET, don't be suprised if it starts later and the same can be said about the 3rd game from Texas that is scheduled to start at 7:27 ET on Friday, it also might happen for the 3rd game from Dayton that is scheduled to start at 7:15 ET on Friday afternoon too!!!
What suprises me is that on Thursday and Friday TRUTV changed from having a 1:30 Pregame show from 11-12:30 ET for the last 2 years, to only having a 1 Hour pregame Show from 11-12:00 ET starting this year this is according to reports by Sports Media News and could be wrong.

@CUbsfan May I ask where you got that information? I can't find it anywhere for some reason! And it's usually easily accessible.
Crippenstation yes you may ask me where i got that information from, I got it from DIALGlobal's official website which normally shows who will be broadcasting their games if you click on the games.

@awfulannouncing instantly scanning to look for Charles Barkley. I know I'm not the only one.
@awfulannouncing Same error the copied CBS material had... Duke is not a 1 and Albany is not a 16.
