Arizona (and the Pac 12 conference in general) must be a bit upset that they are being made to share the GameDay limelight with another game.

Two of the biggest brands in the sport vs Zona and UC?

They are lucky ESPN didn't scrap it.

They really need to think about doing what they do for football, and go to the best game that week.

Not only that, but SU and Duke get the ESPN crew of Shulman, Vitale...and Bilas calling the game. Pasch is an SU guy and Walton is an entertaining nut, but the ACC game is being treated as the more prestigious game.

I'm already hearing Vitale's inane shouting,
"College basketball...are you kidding me? It doesn't get better than this. Tobacco Road Titan versus the new kid on the block. Boeheim and Krzyzewski...Almost 2,000 wins between them, baby!" and on and on and on until down goes my sound.
They've got two top guys in Shulman doing PBP and Bilas doing color. Why ruin it?

How often does Bilas call a game with Vitale? i don't remember it happening often. Or it could happen every game... i forget these things as soon as the game is over.

Wow. I guess they don't normally get that kind of basketball brand power playing games 2 days apart in basically the same place other than the big tournaments, so bring the A-Team. Forget that Gameday has already been scheduled miles away. And oh by the way, have Gameday spend a lot of time showing the other set with the A-Team. I guess it pays to show what people want to see.

You got that right.

For the west coast game the only crew they need is Walton...he talks enough just by himself.
