#1 Iowa vs #3 LSU, 7 p.m. ESPN
Ryan Ruocco, Rebecca Lobo, Holly Rowe

#1 USC vs #3 UConn, 9 p.m. ESPN
Beth Mowins, Debbie Antonelli, Angel Gray

(for the record, we almost had to go buy a new TV today after Mowins & Antonelli were prattling on and on about something during the game, to which we missed a whole lotta of what was actually happening on the court. I now am not allowed to have my phone or any remotes near me.)

 

[Urshurak]

Awww man! Not sure I can do Beth Mowins and Antonelli. Especially if it’s a bad game for UConn. Antonelli will be squealing like a school girl. Sound will be off for me unfortunately.

 

[Huskee11]

Antonelli sure got revved up and excited when Duke closed the gap against UConn. I imagine she will be riding the Juju train real hard tomorrow night.

Her bias against UCONN is downright unprofessional. For someone who says "our game" as much as she does, it's quite evident that she doesn't want any player that wears UCONN across her chest to be successful.

Glad to hear that I am not alone..

 

[HuskyNan]

Sigh.

Last night, Paige was called for a foul but Antonelli and Mowins were talking about the first 50 years of women’s basketball history and never bothered to mention it. I yelled at the TV a few times last night

 

[NEforceUConn]

Those 2 are terrible. Rather have to listen to a Beasty Boys concert than listen to them.

LOL!

I like Pam Ward and Stephanie White the best.

What happened to LaChina?

 

[LwrcasefaN]

You caught that too! Sure she ended up in some local bar after with red eyes.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Anyone notice that Elle Duncan was snippy with her co panelists...Carter and Ogwumike (especially after Stanford loss)? She made a snide remark how both their schools lost to the same team (NC State).

 

[FairView]

Antonelli and Mowens were actually rooting for Duke: "If they can only get three stops..."
It was disgusting.

Last night was the first time ever that I watched the first half of a game muted.

They just don't stop talking. It is always about nonsense not related to the game.

 

[jcoton56]

They really detract from the game. We wait all year to enjoy this small handful of games and we get a big heaping helping of their pro-power 5 biases.

 

[Rocket009]

I have been to a Beasty Boys concert It is far superior.

IMHO, and I've never said this to anyone but the hubby - I truly think that DA doesn't like Geno. LOL

 

[SandrasGuy]

I just do not hear the announcers (any announcers) any more. When has an announcer ever said anything that mattered? They can inform or not, misinform or not, but nothing they say actually matters.

 

[Bigboote]

Geez, they haven’t gotten the memo that maybe Paige, Aaliyah, Nika et al. deserve an A team with an A sideline reporter? Geno will give Holly a better interview than anyone in the two games she’s covering.

I literally tuned them out so I can’t say what they commented on. I really just focused on the players movements, but still yelled at the TV.

 

[huskeynut]

Antonelli is one of the most biased announcers in the game against UConn. And she has been for a long time.

Her announcing last night was terrible. She really thinks she is the ultimate basketball expert, which she is not.

 

[PacoSwede]

I just do not hear the announcers (any announcers) any more. When has an announcer ever said anything that mattered? They can inform or not, misinform or not, but nothing they say actually matters.

occasionally, they report who a foul is on and who subs in and out and sometimes even why a whistle was blown for no obvious reason (when there's a 3-second call, for example). that would be covering things that matter. the problem is: many times they apparently don't think that's their primary purpose!

 

[Geew1992]

They were horrible. Added 2 new players to UConn too

 

[Zanzman]

Hope they were bigs , I hear we need bigs

“Our” game means no men allowed.

MUTE plays no favorites. Do you really need to listen to these folks in order to know what's going on? What do they add, really? Let me hear a quote from the Great Holly Rowe. Can't think of one?
