My favorite announcer of any sport. Intelligent and elegant.

It would be interesting to hear from some non-UConn fans who watch her...to see if any hear a UConn
bias in her commentary. I do not...but I suspect I would be eager to NOT find one due to being a fan of her on and off the court since her high school days.

I'm a Louisville fan and have not noticed any bias in her commentary. She is my second-favorite color commentator in any sport. (Tony Romo on CBS NFL is number one.)

Good move by ESPN. Rebecca is pretty cool. I enjoy listening to her.

Unfortunately this can't happen but I would love to listen to a UConn game with Gus Johnson (the Gus that did MBB games) doing play by play and Rebecca doing analysis.

Completely agree!

Have been missing her and Ryan Ruocco together. I wonder where he’s been.

I think Rebecca goes out of the way to not show a bias to UCONN. In fact, I get that the people who work for the SEC Network are homers, but I find Peck and Lyle to be 10000000000x more homerish to the SEC on national broadcasts than Rebecca is to UCONN. Same goes for Antonelli, she is practically on Dawn's payroll, loves the ACC(especially Louisville and NC State). I mean, remember Debbie pushing the Dana Evans is NPOY in 2021? What? Dana Evans? LOL!

I could make a list a mile long of ESPn personalities that are more homerish to schools they didn't even go to than Rebecca is to UCONN.

Hi Gus.
