Am I missing something? I know Gus Johnson works for Fox but for the NCAA tourney they usually let their announcers go to CBS.
 
Did Gus announce last year?  I'm gonna miss him this year.

I find Greg Anthony so unlikable that it almost makes me long for Billy Packer.  It's too bad CBS couldn't find a way to get Bilas and Raftery back together.  college basketball is less fun without the Big Monday team of McDonough, Bilas and Raftery.

Thank God you added almost because no one is so unlikable that Billy Packer is a better alternative.

That post made me feel like the judge in every Law and Order episode. "I'll allow it, Mr. McCoy, but you better tread carefully or I'll have this testimony stricken from the record."

I hear you, I was walking a very fine line but I think I came down on the right side of the law on that one. They're both terrible and Packer is obviously worse. At least we have Raftery.
