On Tuesday morning, CBS Sports and Turner Sports revealed the commentator pairings for the upcoming 2016 NCAA Tournament, and for the second straight season, the deck has been reshuffled quite a bit.
With the departures of both Marv Albert and Rachel Nichols, two top-tier voices in their respective fields, it was expected that we'd see someone get both promoted and added into the field to fill both vacancies. And upon checking of the commentator pairings, that is exactly what's happened.
Commentators | Sideline Reporters |
Jim Nantz, Bill Raftery, Grant Hill | Tracy Wolfson |
Brian Anderson, Steve Smith | Dana Jacobson |
Verne Lundquist, Jim Spanarkel | Allie LaForce |
Kevin Harlan, Reggie Miller, Dan Bonner | Lewis Johnson |
Ian Eagle, Chris Webber, Len Elmore | Evan Washburn |
Spero Dedes, Doug Gottlieb | Ros Gold-Onwude |
Andrew Catalon, Steve Lappas | Jamie Erdahl |
Carter Blackburn, Mike Gminski | Jaime Maggio |
Alright, so where do we begin with this?
