Thankfully, I will be at the games in Bridgeport but when I get home, listening to the Wichita region could be painful.

Nothing against them personally, just poor production by ESPN. If ESPN wants to use their commercial breaks to have the sideline reporters give their reports and tell meaningless stories, fine, but too many times they do it right in the middle of game action.

Holly Rowe had a great 10-minute interview recently with Azzi. You could probably find it on YouTube. Don't miss the shocker at about the 8-minute mark where Azzi reveals what she does to relieve her nerves before gametime. I think if enough people watch this video, we'd actually have a new tee-shirt to replace Nika's "Everybody Eats" in popularity.

Back to announcers, I personally like Eric Frede, who did the UConn broadcasts with Meg Culmo on SNY for several years before ESPN snatched him away.

Well played
Youd make a terrific diplomat :)

I'm guessing Dee Kantner and/or Joe Vaszily to begin with. Even though I think that Dee could be in Greensboro (

Two of the officials I want are # 1 of the 3 things I want to see for the game. Dee Kantner is not on that list. Everyone is invited to join me in chanting “No Dee Kantner”. Again “No Dee Kantner”. Again ...... Denise Brooks and Maj Forsberg are two of the best.

#2 on my list was which commentators I did not want to listen to. That one has been fulfilled.
 
Can someone let me know how to listen to the game on radio, if you are in a different part of the country?

Good news for tv fans.

Bridgeport: Ryan Ruocco play by play
Rebecca Lobo analyst
Holly Rowe reporter
Andraya Carter sideline analyst

We got the A team

For anyone who cares Caroline Peck is in Greensboro and Pam Ward and Stephanie White are in Louisville.
Expand ...
We get the #1 team because they anticipate a UConn-NCST final. I don't care who we play. Let's just concentrate on tomorrow. Christyn said as much in her interview.

I do too. When watching some of her longer interviews with players, it’s clear that she is all in with whomever she is interviewing. She puts players at ease. She exudes joy and confidence in the player. Everyone should have a Holly Rowe in their lives. She just makes me happy, and I don’t actually care about the content she brings. Who she is everything.

I rather liked FS1’s broadcast team of Bynington and Kustok. (Hope I spelled their names correctly.)

Lisa Byington became 1st female NBA team PBP announcer for Milwaukee Bucks this season, followed shortly thereafter by Kate Scott in Philadelphia.
 
Aside from the peerless Doris Burke-Dave O’Brien tandem, my favorite NCAAW booth was Adam Amin flanked by Rebecca Lobo & Kara Lawson.
 
… Andraya Carter is an impressive young analyst with a very bright broadcast future IMHO.

Immense professional & personal respect for Holly Rowe, but she’s not my cup of tea— too saccharine.

You must joking--Doris Burke is one of the truly best b-ball analysts--male or female--that's why she's doing NBA games...

And you just proved my point. I have not watched the NBA since the late 80s and stopped watching MBB in the mid 90s. IMO, it was not basketball anymore. But we don’t need to discuss this subject anymore. I just felt like Doris became bigger than the players/teams she was talking about. Sorry.

Thanks heavens. My only beef is that Ward and White discussed lots of off-topic stuff. That's fine during time outs or when the refs are reviewing a play on the monitors but not during the actual play.

I have to give you that on NBA viewing, mine has dwindled down to next to nothing as well. What I was saying in regards to Doris Burke is that in the hierarchy of TV b-ball analysts, doing NBA games is the top perch so Burke must be well-received with her assignment to the NBA and a largely male audience.

Point taken.
 
One of the things I have notice over the years is that while I may enjoy an announcer for a few games and even for a few years, almost every announcer beings getting 'old' quite quickly. The first time you hear their patter it seems fresh and new and interesting, but the more games you hear, the more trite and tired it becomes because they generally don't evolve and they rely on the same soap box stuff they started with.

Kara was one of my favorites because she actually watched the games and reacted to what was on the court, not a prearranged script.

Please keep them there.
 
Agree with most of you. We got the best pair of announcers. They did the game justice without all the giggles and non-game related discussion. RL is very good as a color announcer, especially when paired with an actual pro doing the PBP.

The studio threesome is another story. The hostess is like an immature child who has no business doing that job. Mc Nutt -pitiful..(if I gave my reason, Nan would probably ban me.) The 3rd member of that crew is actually very professional, but drug down by her association with Frick and Frack,

I really haven't watched much WBB on ESPN these past few seasons with us being on FOX. But man, they are rough. Huge step down from Lawson/Landers.
