Do they post the announcing teams anywhere? Interested to see who CBS has calling the game but can't find it anywhere.

[Nedward]

Good excuse to day drink!

You can always find it in the SMU game notes on the SMU site.

It will be Spero Dedes and Clark Kellogg.

That's the plan!

from the boneyard:
"But the annoying thing is. This is not even a great SMU team. Maybe a quick second round exit to a 2 or 3 seed type of team, at best. They got smoked by Michigan, lost to Boise State and I guess the loss at USC is okay but they pulled out a win vs. Pitt and looked awful vs a bad cal state team. This is not a knock your socks off kind of team, Uconn just plays scared against them. NO, smu is not amazing or even very good, it is just that uconn is bad this year...kind of really bad. They have potential but no, they are bad."

Are these guys clueless? Considering our roster and flow completely changed after those losses, apparently one of our best teams ever is not very good. It's UCONN that is really bad this year...that's why they aren't competing with us...Excuse me sir, what happened the last 9 times we have played you? We have won 7 of them by an average of 20+ points. Guess we aren't that good though

Please Jank...run up the score. Big.

Less than 24 hours to tipoff and "Boneyard logic" is peaking.

Thought I checked there but must have missed it - thanks for the info. I like Clark, so that's good news.

Lol. Assuming the poster means Round of 32 loss to 2 or 3 seed, it's not like that's a terrible outcome for your average team. That's still in the top 10% of squads in a given year. And for us, that is the best we've done in decades.

It's especially annoying considering I was at the Michigan game. That team was some otherworldly kind of on fire, but casual fans wouldn't know that. Not to mention Michigan has proven all along to be an unpredictable team that can play with anyone one night and lose to anyone the next night.

And yes I would like to see us score big on UCONN tomorrow.

UCONN will be playing their 3rd game in 6 days and 4th game in 9 days. Excellent

[Pony81]

Michigan's first half against us was like our first half against Stanford. Every thing found the net, every break and loose ball bounced Michigan's way. It got ridiculous after awhile.

I'd love to play them today. I think the outcome would largely depend on if it was home or away.

UCONN will be playing their 3rd game in 6 days and 4th game in 9 days. Excellent

The announcers at the UH game mentioned that UCONN looked tired in the 2nd half. UH did have a massive run to start the 2nd half to get the lead back plus some.

No joke! I mean if you are a 6 or 7 you are supposed to go out in the round of 32 to a 2 or 3.

Maybe they don't teach math very well in Storrs.
