Solid line up, but give me Kevin Harlan and Dan Bonner all day long.

Reggie Miller with Kevin Harlan was also a good combo.
 



  • Andrew Catalon and Steve Lappas calling games through the Regional Finals;
  • Andy Katz serving as reporter through the Regional Finals;
  • Jamie Erdahl providing game updates.
Ernie Johnson will host studio coverage from the CBS Broadcast Center in New York, joined by Charles Barkley, Clark Kellogg and Kenny Smith. Adam Lefkoe will host studio coverage from TNT Sports’ Atlanta studio alongside Jay Wright, Candace Parker and Seth Davis. Adam Zucker will also serve as a host from New York, while Wally Szczerbiak and Wright will also make appearances from the CBS Broadcast Center.

Gene Steratore will serve as rules analyst throughout the Tournament and will be on-site in Phoenix for the Final Four.
 


This was such a great missed opportunity to replace Grant Hill with Jim Jackson.
