During ISU's loss to Georgia, it struck me how solid the TV announce crews for ISU's women's basketball games have been, whether ESPN or Fox or a local crew. Knowledgeable, descriptive, intelligent- and so much better than the men's crews.
A sure sign of what expectations are for the McDermott's crew next season will be who gets assigned to the TV package. If Dave Armstrong makes an upteenth appearance as the season play-by-play man, another poor finish is expected. Dave is a nice guy, but his coverage is a parody of itself, straight off of Saturday Night Live, if the SNL writers had neither talent or shame.
Perhaps the best result of improved hoops play on the men's side will be a TV product that doesn't make you want to watch in silence.
