Your College Basketball Announcing Schedule For The Week Of 11/17
Monday, November 17, 2008
We're officially in the midst of the College Basketball Season, and more importantly ESPN's ridiculous (but awesome) "Tip Off Marathon". Are you ready for 23 straight hours of Basketball starting tonight at Midnight?!?! I know I'm not, but I will be watching. Here is your schedule and as always, thanks to the work that The 506 puts in on these. Sorry for the holes in spots, but there's just no way to come up with announcers from FS Ohio and Altitude for every game. If you have something or someone to share, please add it or them in the comments....

I'm actually pumped for Vermont @ Maryland Friday. Gonna be working the Matt Hahn homecoming (now an Assistant Coach at Vermont).
Dave Bollwinkel? "Hey Rocky, watch me pull a rabbit outta may hat!"
And a loud FUCK YOU to Comcast for not have ESPNU on all their systems. here's hoping that Disney comes to their senses and makes them put ESPNU as a must carry.
AA:
You might be better served just posting the weekday stuff on Monday [Mon-Thur], then the weekend stuff on Friday [Fri-Sun].
A lot of the sites don't put up their game notes (which is where a lot of this information comes from) until the day before the game.
FYI - All Tennessee men's home games on SportSouth (Including Tuesday night's) are called by Randy Smith and Bill Justus.
Bazooka, you work at UMD? I just graduated, I was with WMUC radio...
...also don't forget Mike Longeran, UVM's head coach was an assistant under Gary.
I don't know if anyone's ever noticed, but Erin Andrews is quite attractive.
anon @ 1:54
You, sir, are and idiot :/
What is this Big East Network and why isn't it carried on Direct TV?
alan - They're still on ESPN+, just branded different. All the Big XII games are going to be branded as 'Big XII Network'
Here's an update for tonight:
IUPUI/Indiana - Mark Neely, John Laskowski
UTM/Tennessee - Randy Smith, Bill Justus
Texas Southern/Cincy - Michael Reghi, Anthony Buford
Detroit/WMU - Dan Dickerson, Dugan Fife
Tulane/Texas - Kevin Eschenfelder, Chris Plonsky
SIU-E/Wisconsin - Craig Coshun, Jim Jackson, Jay Taylor
Did anyone just notice the color guy (his name slips me) on the ESPN studio set say the host got a facial??
Steve Lavin, that is.
The MTN saturday night games will be announced by Rich Cellini and Dave Bollwinkel.
