NCAA Tournament Announcer Assignments: Where Will Gus Johnson Lose His Mind?

Last week, we ranked the CBS NCAA Tournament crews from best to worst, with Gus Johnson and Len Elmore earning the top spot in our completely subjective analysis. Today, we know where Johnson-Elmore will be stationed for the opening rounds, along with every other announcer duo.

↵The Sporting Blog has all the details, along with analysis of each pairing. Head there to read more, but we’ll go ahead and spoil the best part by letting you know which games Gus will be calling on Friday:

↵↵12:15 PM East Regional: #15 Morgan State vs. #2 West Virginia
2:45 PM East Regional: #10 Missouri vs. #7 Clemson
7:10 PM West Regional : #9 Florida State vs. #8 Gonzaga
9:10 PM West Regional : #16 Vermont vs. #1 Syracuse

↵↵Not much potential for a big-time upset here, but I’m certain that if anyone can make a 2-15 blowout interesting, it’s Johnson.
