Can't CBS just have Jim Nantz and Bill Raftery call the games?

Jim Nantz is a huge UNC homer. Turn the sound down and listen to Westwood One's radio crew - John Thompson and Bill Raftery do a great job.

Yep hes for anybody playing us. And add the homerism and -
the 4 charging calls and the lack of ONE blocking foul in the entire game shows its us against the opponent, the refs and the world.

I noticed it as well, the excitement level in his voice when UL would make a play was clear as day. It doesn't really mean anything in the grand scheme of things but it is aggravating to have to listen to someone that clearly wants the opposing team to win.

Exactly. Not saying it means anything at all, just gets annoying to listen to.
I give Steve Kerr a bit of a pass. Probably should have done a little more homework but he's an NBA guy. I don't expect him to be 100 percent spot on doing an NCAA game.

Didn't listen to the TV broadcast. Got the SportsSync radio to listen to the UK radio broadcast while watching TV.
Kellog always seemed to be a fan of UK from his first days as a broadcaster, (Think that he liked us from our recruitment of him as a player.), but I noticed a big difference just after Tubby left. Thought that it might had gotten better this tournament. Guess not.

I'm assuming it syncs up radio with the TV broadcast? That's pretty cool. May need to invest in one of those.

It did seem that way, but I think it's common for everyone (including broadcasters) when there's a huge, overwhelming favorite.
Kellogg used to be one of my favorites, but (totally aside from this issue) he seems to get more annoying with each passing year.

Kellogg is bad but Kerr is horrid...Nance just needs to stick to golf and his Tiger Woods worship...That is one horrible basketball
broadcasting crew..

I did get pretty pissed when they both talked about how Dieng was the MVP of the game for either team then continued to go on and on about how he definitely had the better game just before some stat guy drops Davis' night on em and how Manning in 86 was the last to have a game like that.

My feelings exactly. Jimmy Kimmel made fun of Kellog's interview of Obama at the basketball game with the UK prime minister: he touched Obama's shoulder or arm 37 times!

CBS made a huge mistake letting Gus Johnson go but even still, Kevin Harlan, Bill Raftery, Jay Bilas, etc. are all so much better than Nantz or Kellogg.

It's wonderful! So very, very glad that I got it. Sometimes the TV broadcast is several seconds slower than the radio, and the Sport Sync radio makes them at the same time. --Or you can set it a little ahead, if you want. Can even do replays. Listening to the UK broadcast is so much less frustrating. Like their insights, too, since they know the UK players better. The link to the radio is on Tom Leach's web site.

I'd rather listen to anyone than Kellog / Nantz. Harlan is very good, so is Bilas and Raftery.

Pleased with the quality. Better than most transistors. Digital.
So glad to be able to not have to listen to the TV broadcast.

On Tom Leach's web site: http://www.tomleachky.com/.
The link is on the right side of the page...little more than half way down the page.
With the shipping it cost a little more than I expected, but have enjoyed this season so much more with it.

I didn't come away thinking that in the past games but the whole crew today I thought were pulling for the Cards. Maybe just hoping for a close game, but yes, today it was a tough game to watch and listen to.

THIS!
