Wow - Baylor's going to be one tired squad playing both the 5:30PM and the 8PM games back to back! ;)

I went back to the article to see if I had done a poor copypasta, but no, it was the source that was sloppy, so phew!
 
My favorite team is R & R. I like Beth and Angel. Deb? Not so much. Dan Dakich is not a fan either. :D
[ can't find the segment]

And is an expert on (waving hands around wildly) everything, and has suggestions to improve the game, blah blah blah.

I look forward to the day when there is the option to mute the announcers and still hear the sounds of the game, and she's an example of why, although not the only one. For now, it's just plain mute.

It is my opinion that most times when this announcer calls UConn’s games, she doesn’t seem enthusiastic about its players. And when she does, it seems and sounds almost forced. However, I’ve noticed her overly enthusiastic disposition and excitement, when she does other games. So I’m hoping that UConn’s players will get a little bit more love from her this weekend. Go Huskies! Go UConn!

And she is usually an ACC homer.

Probably, but it is also perception, knowing that this is the conference she knows best, follows the most and played in.

There were some RU fans (this is over 13 years ago when we were in NJ) who thought Rebecca was a UConn homer, which I never really saw. There are some who think Joan Bonvicini that did Arizona at times on the PAC network was a homer because she is close to Adia and a former coach here. Others see a Big 12 bias in Brenda VanLengen and absolutely a Texas bias in Andrea Lloyd (that's the only one I really see, admitting that I don't get the PAC network and can't speak on Bonvicini).

I would consider Rebecca a homer but only because she is so intimately familiar with the entire UConn WBB program. When it comes to being an analyst, she knows the pertinent facts about both teams and treats both teams as equals.
 
Wow! Love them or hate them I think all these are good.

I don’t necessarily think any of them are UCONN haters especially Mowins. She is always gracious and talks positively about GA.

I do agree that there are some better than others and some that aren’t on here that I wish were such as Sarah Kustok, Christy ThomasKutty, Megan McKeown, or Eric Frede.

But i also have to keep in mind that many on here disliked Doris Burke and I think she was one of the best in the business.

The problem with Rebecca is that she’s so paranoid about being called a homer that she often won’t speak up against even the most horrific calls against UConn!

I loved Doris but she became too enamored of her own voice and ultimately became insufferable! Before that happened though, she was the best along with Kara Lawson (who was even better).
 
I wish john Fanta was doing the game - or the UConn radio network.
If the TV would synch to the radio I'd use that for audio.
