ESPN released the teams for this upcoming College Basketball season and proceeded to confuse the hell out of me for a good 30 minutes. It was almost impossible to decipher their release, but I think I finally got it right after a couple of reads. I’m not sure if they’ve done this before but most commentators will stay within the same conferences throughout the year, and be on multiple times a week. There are a few new additions which you’ll notice with the main one being the addition of sideliner Doris Burke to a few broadcasts.
Most of the teams are pretty solid with the one exception being the ACC coverage. If you’re a fan of the conference like me you’re stuck with Patrick and Vitale for the whole year. Here are the rest of the teams
