I would have switched the days of the Glendale and Indianapolis games. I realize with five Big East teams in the Sweet 16 you have to put two of them on at the same time. Louisville however is still hard to think of as a "Big East" team except in name only birdmantdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06229781371959038722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-33513867852026657372009-03-23T16:17:00.000-04:002009-03-23T16:17:00.000-04:00I was hoping that Lundquist/Raftery would be one o...I was hoping that Lundquist/Raftery would be one of the teams.

As much as Nantz is great, the star team for CBS has to be Verne Lundquist and Bill Raftery. In the end in less than ten years, the tournament will be on ESPN.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17201063399974187539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221516.post-64144071623128630702009-03-23T11:01:00.000-04:002009-03-23T11:01:00.000-04:00GMoney, he was on the call when Gonzaga choked awa...GMoney, he was on the call when Gonzaga choked away the West regional game against UCLA a couple years ago.
