need to stop babbling. Love them both but, geez.

Well, we know they both hated playing defense

Yes pairing those two very good basketball people is proving a detriment to the broadcasts. Instead of doing the game they sound like just another one of ESPN's "Buddy" talk shows. I love them both as well but working together is not a treat for the people watching the game.

I just can't say anything bad about either of them. Some folks have earned all our love and support, and they are really, really, really high on that list.

While they are gabbing, Katy Lew is on triple double watch... 11, 5, 5.

I just can't say anything bad about either of them. So folks have earned all our love and support, and they are really, really, really high on that list.

I love my kids, but they can make me crazy. No one gets a pass.

Hard to get into a game that has the other team scoring like a middle school rec team.
The announcing is less a thing to me than the fact that GA just won't go beyond MW up 30 in the first half. He really doesn't trust his bench. That would be worth discussing for our friendly broadcasters.

So true. They were cackling. Argh

I get that, but do we need a discussion of Kazakhstan? At one point they talked about the tourney or Megan’s international experience, which was much better.

 

[Puppy Love]

They just don't bother me anywhere near as much as Beth Mowins.

Don’t go knocking Kazakhstan.

 

[BostonCanuck]

It's not their fault, it's Adam's. He needs to be the anchor, the adult in the room. Instead he just encourages them, since he apparently has very little interest in the game...

 

[JordyG]

So here we are. When Doris Burke was doing WCBB games she had quite a number of detractors on this board. When Kara became the new darling I pointed out that at one time Burke was the darling, and that familiarity breeds contempt. I stated then that there will come a time when the Kara detractors would show their distaste and they will be equally as loud as the Burke detractors. I just didn't think it would be so soon.

The game was over a long time ago. Cut them a break.

Nan, you know insanity is hereditary - - - you get it from your kids!

 

[wbball novice]

Doris is a fave with me, though not at Drake's level. My fantasy announcer trio for a game like this: Jackie MacMullan play by play, Michelle Beadle and Bill Walton for color commentary. I suspect that for the casual sports fan, a game like this, with such a huge discrepancy in skills, is about as interesting as a bowling tournament. The announcers having fun can be more interesting, so I would give Becca and Kara a break.

 

[Boreifs]

The whole issue is that three game announcers doesn’t work. Solo, both of them are effective color announcers. If ESPN insists on pairing them , put them in the studio, where both of them are so much better. It would also spare everyone the indignity of being exposed to Andy Landers

 

[Fairfield Fan]

Those two are the best!!! My favorites!!!

 

[HopJim]

No one wins when the game is this much out of control. With subs in throughout second half and Cin. not doing much right, all you can do is criticize (not good), praise (too much in first half), or try to be funny. Was good at first but did get old. Fix the game, not the announcers.

 

[MD#12Fan]

Anyone ever watched "Players Only" NBA broadcasts. Fantastic! Even sideline reporters and interviewers are players. I like it best when they all sit in studio and just talk hoops. Player makes a great move, they just go off. So, get rid of the play-by-play guy and just let them talk as they watch the game.

 

[Bama fan]

I just can't say anything bad about either of them. Some folks have earned all our love and support, and they are really, really, really high on that list.

I cannot say anything bad about either one of them, but I cannot say much good about both of them. They are not additive. They subtract from each other and diminish the whole. Perhaps if they were not expecting their third wheel to keep things rolling, the pair would be good. They are fine in the studio together without Mr Amin. I like them so much that it pains me for them to fail .

 

[RockyMTblue2]

Lower than the Laurentian fan or abyss. Worst I can remember. Hard to believe either can be so unselfaware and even harder to believe no one has told them to throttle it back before we got to tonight.

 

[Bama fan]

Don’t go knocking Kazakhstan.

I think you have to go there to get to the International Space Station, at least for now. And of course, only if you really want to go.

Or if you adopt from there;-) Sixty seven days spent in Kaz and two wonderful sons as a result. Some spots were just beautiful and others not so much.
