[RedOctober3829]

Was just going to start this. Games are on TBS. UConn local broadcast on truTV.

GO HUSKIES

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Gators (non-Uconn) and Kentucky local broadcasts on TNT. (Wiscy on TruTV)

 

[mikepnq]

Any idea if the online streaming Will have a home/away announcer option?

 

[bosockboy]

So will these games be without Nantz?

 

[jsinger121]

Why is this not on CBS? We are at the final four stage where these games shouldn't be hidden on cable TV.

It was written into the television contract.  TBS has the Championship Game in 2016.

Because Turner paid 10 billion dollars

Nantz/Kerr/Anthony will have the TBS call

 

[RedOctober3829]

Huskies need to move the ball more and not make it so easy for UF to defend them

 

[mikepnq]

Finally

 

[mikepnq]

Jesus Christ Uconn looks bad right now.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Donovan also realized that Uconn is a s*it team other than Napier.

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Florida can't turn the ball over like that and expect to win by 25

 

[bankshot1]

Gators are suffocating Huskies.

 

[OCST]

Florida is too big, too physical

 

[riboflav]

Donovan also realized that Uconn is a s*it team other than Napier.

 
You have underestimated this team for weeks. 

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

Gators completeley lost discipline.

 

[bankshot1]

just in time 
 
nice run 

 

[OCST]

But... Here come the 3s

 

[mikepnq]

Donovan also realized that Uconn is a s*it team other than Napier.

Daniels and Boatright say shut it DTB.

 

[riboflav]

But... Here come the 3s

 
Those are nice, but defense is what leads to them. UConn is playing the best defense I've seen by any team this season.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Donovan also realized that Uconn is a s*it team other than Napier.

Oh really?

 

[Dan to Theo to Ben]

 
You have underestimated this team for weeks. 

maybe months.
 
Still not as much as Wellman's Committee

 

[riboflav]

You're a troll, but worse, you know nothing about basketball.

 

[johnmd20]

The three broadcasts are new to this year, right? You can listen to Nantz, or the Florida crew, or the Uconn crew. I think that's pretty cool.

 

[mikepnq]

How is Florida not attacking Napier on the low block there?

Qucik hands. seriously, it takes a very good big to not let the ball drop beneath his shoulders to play agasint Napier.

True. Moot point now, but that would seem like an ideal spot to post up against 'bazz.

That's new. This is Turner's first year broadcasting the Final Four.

 

[Clears Cleaver]

the three broadcasts would be better if the home broadcasts had a local play-by-play guy. interesting idea
 
Florida is big and strong and well coached. I'm not sire I see any first round picks there though. Maybe Prather? I'm not sure Uconn has any either. 
 
Kentucky has like six of them, right? 

 

[DukeSox]

Florida is enormous

 

[RedOctober3829]

Just keep getting stops. Don't let them in lane. Make them a jump shooting team. Move ball on offense and get bazz off screens.

Balls to the wall for 20 more minutes.

I think Napier is a late 1st rounder. That could be home bias though.

 

[koufax32]

This is incredibly frustrating. If Florida loses this game I'd request that you UConn fans post your addresses so I can mail you dead squirrels. Thank you.

 

[OCST]

Love UConn's defensive intensity

 

[mikepnq]

I don't know why people keep getting surprised about Uconn's pressure defense. It's been winning them games all month.

 

[Ed Hillel]

Who are these announcers?

 

[Ed Hillel]

Monster dunk, the guy sounds like he just woke up.

 

[OCST]

In other news, Buchholz is getting knocked around

Don't ruin my mood

 

[mikepnq]

Good timeout there.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Bullshit fucking officiating

 

[aksoxfan]

Refs calling everything Florida's way.

 

[RedOctober3829]

What a stud Bazz is.

 

[mikepnq]

God I love watching this team play defense.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Playing 5 on 8

 

[mikepnq]

I guess they figured out the 1-3-1 zone.

 

[shawnrbu]

Ball don't lie.

 

[Dogman]

That's not a good TO
