If you watch every SU game (as most of us on here do), you realize how little many of the announcers really know about our team.  The Cory Alexander incident earlier this year (when Cory mocked his pbp partner for correctly noting that Tyus had been playing the point for us in stretches) was probably one of the best recent illustrations of this.

I remember in the Sweet 16 game against Duke last year, Jim Nantz just absolutely, positively butchering the names "Dolezaj" and "Chukwu" for the first 10 minutes of the game.  It was embarrassing.  My guess would be that he hadn't seen SU play at all before the tip.

The announcers that really do know the game (and that watch us a lot, or at least watch film of past games) are pretty easy to spot.  People were giving Bilas crap during the ACC Tourney, but I think he's one of the best announcers out there.  Having said that, anybody praising Frank Howard for his decision-making prowess clearly has not watched a lot of SU hoops this season.
