2016 NCAA Tournament commentator pairings

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?
