Former UConn basketball player and YES NBA analyst Donny Marshall will serve as the analyst. The courtside reporter is Swin Cash, a three-time WNBA champion who won two titles at UConn as a college player.

Also, from the article: "These 'Teamcasts' will feature custom music, custom graphics, team-specific replays, additional cameras geared toward one team, and a custom halftime show."

Yeah, but at least we've got Eric Frede. Eric Frede! Who?

What the hell is TrueTV?

Is that like the Oxygen network, or al Jazeera, or something?

Frede did an excellent job with the UConn women's games this season on SNY. I was glad to read his name in the article.

I saw Donny Marshall on the court working with & mentoring this team. I can think of no one better!

It sounds like you still have the option of listening to the CBS announcers. They will be on TBS. Or if you prefer the Florida announcers you can watch tnt. I'm watching which ever one UConn does best on.

Donny bleeds blue, I like this and will watch it. They will be objective enough.

Steve Kerr & Greg Anthony>>>>Swin Cash & Donny Marshall, gonna have to stick with CBS despite Nantz.

Nantz will surely keep you informed on the impending Masters, you can count on that.

This should be interesting. I believe ESPN did something similar for the BCS national championship game. I'll definitely tune in to TruTv

I think it is a cool idea, but a bad mojo option. Now everytime something goes against the Huskies I will flip the channels to try and right the mojo. It could get really confusing and addle the mojo. I don't need yet another thing to keep track of. My plate is f'in full.

signed,
the guy who stood out in the hallway of MSG during the last 10 minutes of Mich St. game because I got an emergency call from work when we were down 7, went to take it in hallway, came back we were leading, was happy, they got it back down to 2 and I left my seat for the hallway again to change mojo.

Record both. Watch CBS live and truTV for enjoyment later.

You are assuming that a rewatch will provide enjoyment.
Which means
Clearly we are DOOOMED!

If you are trying to "right the mojo" simply turn the volume off completely until things turn. For the game on saturday I'm thinking of taping a copy of MakersMuppet to the back of the set, still mulling it over.

UConn site says game is on TBS. What's the TruTV thing then????

Tell me they will interview Senhor Testiculo and I'm SO in.

Completely politically incorrect - and thanks a ton!

Earlier, there was talk of hiring a non-sports "celebrity fan" to do some of these teamcasts (or pre or post game) It could still happen in future years.

Which knowledgeable UConn celebrity fan would you most want to hear on-air analysis/entertainment from?

I guess you don't watch much of the tournament. There have been tournament games on that channel for 4 years now...

i had Swin and Tamika in my public speaking class when i was at uconn. Remember Swin saying she wanted to be a sport news caster after she got finished playing basketball. Its good see how people get to fulfill their dreams...
