Game Thread: UConn-Marquette

[Icebear]

It's almost impossible to listen to the woman announcer. What is she from? Fargo?

That isn't near a Fargo accent, dontcha know.

Definitely rural Wisconsin or Western Michigan

This announcing team are homers to the max! I know a lot of people say MPC and Bob are homers. But I don't recall hearing Meghan ever say when a UConn player is taking three foul shots where there doesn't appear to have been a foul "this will work", or audibly grunt and say "oh come on" when Marquette misses a shot. And she just did it again!!!!

They are painful to listen to.

You should have watched the ND - USF game. The ND announcer was far worse.

At least she knows who's playing. The man seems to focus on every Marquette player and call the UConn players "UConn."

Ice, I know it's not Fargo, but it's definitely midwest. Hard to listen to! Meanwhile, the game is pretty hard to watch too. But not for audio/visual reasons.

The Boneyard just noted by the fundraising crew on CPTV.

From John A:

Geno has just removed coat, the fashion equivalent of thrusting his head into a wall. #UConnwomen up 34-21 at the half

 

[speedoo]

So what's with the 5 guard offense Geno? You wouldn't be trying to get Stef and Kiah pi**ed off for Monday night, would you?

 

[rocky rococo]

From somewhere in deepest Waukesha County no doubt.

Defintiely, Mid Western.

I love east coast snobbery. It's so cute!

 

[Replicant]

The female analyst has a terrific Midwestern accent!

I thought of Fargo as soon as I heard her!

 

[alexrgct]

The Boneyard just got hit up by the fundraising crew on CPTV.

I missed that. What was said?

John A. is monitoring the BY:

Folks, if you don't like the announcers, don't blame #CPTV. They are picking up the feed from a Time Warner production. Do not blame them

 

[DaddyChoc]

Oh, I have no doubt Uconn will win this pretty handily. But as far as playing to a standard...not so much.

this game has you worried about how they will play against Notre Dame... 2 different animals

 

[ThisJustIn]

We know this, John.... We heard Harriet. ;-)

I disagree... he got KML's full name correct

Not enough Minnesotan or Dokotan Scansk singsong to be Fargo.

 

[ChicagoGG]

As a Chicagoan, I understand every word the woman says. I just don't understand WHY she says it.....

 

[ThisJustIn]

Mary's in the hospital? Get well, Mary!

that was nice of Lee Newton

 

[Icebear]

Still using the short line up.

 

[blackbird]

Where's Doty? It concerns me when she doesn't start.

 

[Aluminny69]

No Dolson No Doty
