[tcf15]

Also, here's what Jim Calhoun will be doing:

Naismith Memorial Hall of Fame member and former UConn head coach Jim Calhoun joins ESPN provide insight and analysis, including studio programming, joining select game telecasts and conducting sit-down interviews with top figures in the game.

Eh, I guess that's OK.

 

[UConn990411]

Ugh. The Patrick-Elmore/Knight combo is just brutal.

 

[upstater]

Doris Burke dropped her level a lot last year too.

Don't hate on Mike Patrick - we won a ton with him announcing our games. As long as its not that one guy who did the SMU game (or maybe the Houston game) idk.

 

[tzznandrew]

Can we at least get Dickey Simpkins? He at least made me laught. Hot like fire!

 

[BigErnMcCracken]

Len Elmore is a very nice, very smart guy but pretty insufferable as a commentator, and I don't think they play particularly well when he does their games.

 

[UConn990411]

Don't hate on Mike Patrick - we won a ton with him announcing our games. As long as its not that one guy who did the SMU game (or maybe the Houston game) idk.

He's also horrible at his job. And, weirdly, I just don't think he affects how UConn plays all that much.

 

[Stainmaster]

Are you kidding? Totally a causal relationship between who's calling the game and how the players perform on the floor.

 

[UConnSwag11]

love Doris Burke, miss bilas

 

[RedGuerrUltra]

Mike Patrick brings the Mojo. He mispronounces player names, gets basic facts wrong, and is generally out to lunch...but we WIN! His antics bring some much needed entertainment to the 2nd half of a USF spanking in a silent XL Center.

 

[Jerry1714]

Bob Knight is the worse broadcaster on the network, by far.

 

[RedGuerrUltra]

Bob Knight is the worse broadcaster on the network, by far.

Hoping for the day he and Mike Francesa team up to call a game and both fall asleep on air.

 

[BleedHuskyBlu]

I want Lundquist and Raftery for all of our games

 

[RayRay19]

Calhoun conducting interview.....hahahahahahaha

 

[RayRay19]

Oh man if Calhoun had to interview Squid

 

[James]

Don't really mind elmore, i feel like he made a leap last year in commentating. years before he was terrible for sure

 

[HuskyFich]

I don't think McDonough Raftery and Bilas with Burke on the sidelines is too much to ask for.

I think we play pretty well with them doing the games as well

 

[Waquoit]

Don't really mind elmore,

Me either, but I can't stand the others. I find them turn down the sound bad.

 

[Hoophound]

Patrick was awesome for us last year. He pretty much became a UConn homer. He knew the team and players and got everything right after so many broadcasts. He genuinely seemed to like and respect the program last season.

 

[RedGuerrUltra]

Who cares about regular season commentators. Our focus should be on Allie LaForce in March. We're about the cake, not the crumbs.

 

[Cheeky]

Not Dick Vitale? Works for me.

 

[gtcam]

Not Dick Vitale? Works for me.

Is he still around?
Thought he passed on or in an old folks home!!!

 

[bcisco]

I want Lundquist and Raftery for all of our games

Love them two, especially with Ali Laforce

 

[Danzz]

Calhoun conducting interview.....hahahahahahaha

After all these years I still don't understand him sometimes.
