List your favorite and least favorite duo for the tourney....

Favorite
Verne Lundquist & Bill Rafftery

Least Favorite
Jim Nantz & Billy "Fudge" Packer


I still do not understand how Jim & Billy continue to get the marquee matchups. Who likes listening to these clowns? Nantz's personality is made for golf at Augusta and the game passed "Fudge" Packer by about 15 years ago. He continues to make an ass of himself with his stupid statements (i.e. George Mason and other Mid-Majors shouldn't even be in the tournament to this year questioning the tourney selection committee in selecting only 4 ACC teams).
Fav.
Bilas and whoever his sidekick is...

Least.
Packer and anyone he works with
Favorite-
No one

Least-
All of them


I normally put the games on mute when I watch the tournament.
What commentators? All I saw was commercials.
Gus Johnson is the best

Packer is annoying but he knows what he is talking about.

I know Im in the minority but I really cant stand Bill Rafftery

I sometimes feel like the next thing out of his mouth, after the analogy that was pulled out of left field, should be "F---in A, Cotton. F---in A!"

Gus Johnson is pretty good.

Packer doesn't know anything. He is completely an ACC homer.

QFT!
I'm too busy yelling (either cheering or booing) to hear announcers anyway

I usually turn the volume down and listen to Michael Jackson's Thriller really loud.

Gus Johnson needs to stay far far away from NFL games, though. The few games I've heard him do were horrible. Although, the ones that stick out were the one he did with Brent Jones...and Jones was one of the worst ever
Isn't Bill Rafftery the guy that has to say "and the kiss... from the little guy" everytime a guard makes a layup? That's neat the first time, but gets old fast when he says it 8 times through a game.
Rafftery is up and down to me... some days I think he does well, other days he just annoys me. Billy Packer is terrible and should have been let go 15 years ago. Bilas is usally okay, but he was bothering me during the Stanford/Marquette game on Saturday... Ian Eagle did a better job than I expected in his play by play. I hate him during the NFL games, but he wasn't too bad during the basketball.
