I would watch a game I wasn't interested in and wouldn't otherwise watch if they were calling. They are my favorite announcing team.
Everyone knows NCAA basketball announcing achieved perfection with Gus Johnson & Bill Raftery, it's a scientific fact.

I would watch whatever they were announcing. I wish there was a website that told me exactly what games they were announcing. I would try to find the Walton\Pasch announced games and just watch those. They are the first official "Odd Couple" ESPN announcer pairing. I love it. It's great entertainment!
Just need to tape one. Then it's like reruns.

I was going to post when Walton was gargling Larry Scott's nuts, but decided to leave it alone. But his statement that Vegas is the only man-made thing you can see from space at night? Uhhhh... what??? You can see literally every city from space at night. Did someone switch his weed with oregano?

Watched a few non-Pac12 games lately and it was so refreshing that they actually talked about the game >95% of the time....As much as Walton loves on the UA, I'm so tired of his tangents......wish he would be replaced asap.

You probably think the Space Needle is in Seattle, too.

Walton is on fire tonight. Covering the game when appropriate, and dicing it up with compelling stories and novel facts.

I thought the tidbit about the Mojave desert being the smallest desert in North America was gold. As a man with an affinity for trivia, I would support Walton commentating every sport.

It's kind of funny Chris Webber got Michigan's FF appearances vacated and is now announcing the tourney.

I still have the goosebumps.
How about Walton declining to comment on conference awards. Take it strong, Big Fella!

Bill predicted that Korcheck would "be a pro next year"!!! (He didn't mention what level)
When he's focused, he offers lots of details of players, both famous and bench warmers - you'll never get that from the majority of tournament broadcasters - conference or NCAA's - he takes the time to genuinely interact....

Also said Matt attended "Arizona University." But the best part was when he called the Utah margin "incalculable," and Pasch signed off with, "Utah wins by the incalculable margin of 24 points."

I'm Bill's biggest critic, but he was pretty good tonight. Probably because it was such a great game. Not a lot of opportunities to plug Bob Dylan's album.

Yes he was, very good. Like Bill has said during the year, if the opposing team isn't interested in playing then he isn't either.

Bill is so much worse in this game. I think the problem may be Pasch. The animosity (whether real or not) is annoying.

Agree. Once he got done blowing UPS, he seemed to respect the gravity of the game.

I'd watch just about any sport regularly...even the NFL again...if Walton were calling the games.
I really don't care about the former player talking Xs and Os. That is everywhere, on virtually every other broadcast of basketball in the ever growing media marketplace. Give me something entertaining...
Bill is entertaining.
