| can anyone stand to listen to these two? I tried for a few minutes but they didn't talk about the game at all. Does this happen in men's games that the announcers just talk randomly about anything and everything and never mention what is happening on the floor? It just blows my mind.

| OSU cranking up the defense to go on a 11 point run. They are now down by 2.

No, it doesn't. And they always seem to have picked a favorite team, coach and player over whom they incessantly slobber. It's like they left the chapter on "objectivity" out of the textbook in WBB broadcasting school.

Have you ever listened to Dick Vitale?

I have seen this early season a remarkable number of brain dead fouls on 3 pt shots like Russel's on Mikesell. There is absolutely no point in lunging at a player after the ball is released 26 feet from the basket. You got beat, let it go, don't compound your bad defense.
Is nobody coaching and teaching any more?

Vitale is overly enthusiastic but knows more basketball than all of these announcers put together.

| Did they just call OhSt over Tenn a "marquis" win? Seriously?

It's not about his knowledge, he doesn't talk about the game. He talks about all his "friends". How many times have you heard him say, "Robert Montgomery Knight." for example.

| I can't say that I cared a lot who wins, but after hearing the ACC shills, I'm happy to see OhSU shut them up...maybe.

Well that was certainly a cheap shot by Louisville.
I am sick and tired of these ESPN women's announcers excusing all of that crap by calling it a "basketball move" or "just a play on the ball". Please show me where those excuses exist in the rulebook.

Really? I thought they were cheering for OhSt throughout and pumping up their inflated ranking.
I have mixed reactions. I prefer to see the ACC win, but I like McGuff and I'm always happy to see Walz lose.

My biggest takeaway is that Louisville can't defend the lane. Ohio St drove at the basket at will in the second half.
How's that going to work against teams with good, big, quick slashing guards like UNC and ND?

Excellent, entertaining game. The defensive pace by Ohio State was impressive. Not having seen either of these play yet this season, I didn't know what to expect re: ranking validity. Not sure the Buckeyes are REALLY a #4, but they certainly belong in the Top 8, imo. It's going to be interesting to see how the Big Ten plays out, but I'd not be shocked if Ohio State owns it.
L'ville was actually better than I anticipated. They clearly were out-hustled, in the end, but....Ohio State's energy and intensity is as good as any team I've seen this season.
Of the numerous "dig a big hole, then comeback big 'n win" games this season, this was one of the more entertaining. I was actually rooting for L'ville, but Ohio earned this one righteously.

I watch a lot of sports. Antonelli is the worst analyst in all of sports broadcasting. Her blatant bias towards certain teams and players is totally unprofessional.

I think Antonelli knows the game of basketball well and delivers good insights about what's happening on the court, but I totally agree about the bias towards certain players. I've heard her do at least two Louisvillle games this year where she's droned on and on about Mykasa Robinson as an ACC DPOY candidate. It's like she had her mind made up about it before a single game was even played...

Yup! She is so smart and knowledgeable and she is really good calling men's basketball, because there is no emotion with it being "our game," as she calls the women's game. I appreciate her dedication and love for the sport, but she's just a lot.
Things she has beaten to death:
**Dana Evans as NPOY in 2021.
**Candace Parker as WNBA DPOY in the Wubble, when just about anyone in the league deserved it more than her(and she and the Sparks PR team actually got her the award.
**Arike Ogubowale and how good she was going "downhill"
**Mikasa Robison ACC DPOY
**Asia Durr-everything
**Everything Staley & Boston

What makes her any different from Lobo ? Or Peck ? They all have their preferred droolers they like to consistently talk about every time they call a game.

Some UConn fans aren't handling very well the fact that UConn is no longer the center of the wcbb universe and no longer has the benefit of EVERY announcer drooling over every little thing any UConn player or coach says or does.
Talk about getting beaten to death by announcers! The entire rest of the wbb fanbase has been sick to death of announcers drooling over UConn for literally years.
So, yeah, Debbie Antonelli has her pet players and teams. BFD.
And, for those who have missed it, I have been highly complimentary of UConn players and Coach Geno both this year and previous years. They've been the gold standard of wcbb for over a decade. But there are new kids in town and they deserve their spotlight.
