Meet Your Announcers, And Your Historic 1-16 Near Upsets
Awful Announcing has helpfully listed the announcing teams for each NCAA tournament venue, and we were gonna say you gotta feel bad when your game is being broadcast by Craig Bolerjack, but then we see he's doing the Duke game and therefore pass the last-announcing-team award to Ian Eagle and Jim Sp...
