How else can one explain the fact that Carolyn Peck is still employed by and utilized so often? Much to my considerable annoyance.

Peck's in the studio, not doing the play by play.
maybe she's cheap and good eye-candy
lol. can't argue with that one!That's too close. She should be watching the game from home.

So this means that ESPN doesn't like WBB? There are plenty of people ESPN employs on the men's side that are incredibly annoying (Dick Vitale) or who are just bad color analysts (Len Elmore). Does that mean ESPN doesn't like MBB?
Also, ESPN put the game on ESPN on a Sunday night. Not ESPN2. Why is this noteworthy? Because the MLB playoffs are going on, as is NFL football. ESPN could have run its NFL post-game show or its MLB post-game show in those slots. Instead, it put women's basketball there.
And ESPN used Rebecca Lobo as the color analyst, arguably one of the two best announcers in the game. Though she was unusually over-exuberant last night, she is one of the few (if only) announcers that really knows how to dissect a play, from an Xs and Os standpoint.
Len Elmore? We will have to disagree. Pair him with Gus Johnson and it is on. I know he attended Maryland and all, but....
The announcers/analysts I tend to dislike most are the ones assigned to women's college basketball games. It is as if ESPN uses women's games as a training/proving ground.
Who really gives a hoot about Xs and Os? Xsand Os are like scorecards. Those that know the game don't need it, those that do not know the game have no idea what is being discussed. That said, I do prefer Ms Lobo at this point in her career to almost everyone.
