Hope the link works. I was watching the video recap of the game on ESPN.com, and at one point the women commentator pronounces Brandon Triche's name as Brandon Tree-shay, as if he is somehow of French descent. How does ESPN allow something like that to be the final product? I'm more or less just curious. I'm not saying this to be nit-picky but you would think a network of ESPN's caliber, with as many SU alums as they have, and the #1 college basketball team in the country would be able to pronounce a one syllable name as easy as Triche.

maybe he's related to former montreal canadian great stephan Richer

Ha ha just saw this. In the daily articles recently posted I had the same exact Tree-shay sounded out above the video link. I had to play it back once to make sure I heard right.

That's an easy one. This particular faux-news organization doesn't much care about the quality of its final product. As long as its unpleasant studio hosts make an appropriate number of pithy remarks during broadcasts, all is well. Accuracy is an afterthought.

we arent the number 1 espn wants --
its not like he is a first year starter-

i doubt if he played for puke or carolina they would pronounce his name wrong

There was a chick doing the uconn-fairfield game, and theres a rakim (or rakeem or however its spelled) on fairfield and the chick called him rakeem christmas. Women sports announcers are the best!
