It was nice to go from Musberger/Fraschilla to real announcers just a few short hours later.
Doris Burke is one of ESPN's best analysts and Sean McDonough is a really good play-by-play man and has been for a long time.
Let's do a comparision to see which DUO comes out on top:
Category No. 1: actually are good announcers
Burke/McDonough (1-0)
2: provide information/analysis instead of old anecdotes/cliches & high school/prep school-name-dropping
Burke/McDonough (up 2-0)
3: actual sense of humor
Burke/McDonough (3-0)
4: mentions gambling and/or point spreads during broadcasts
Musberger/Fraschilla (3-1)
5: not sexist
Burke/McDonough (4-1)
"Well you know, the total was 157!"

Let's do a quick "basketball count" for LaPhonso Ellis, who is a solid announcer. He just says the word basketball a lot.
First half - said 7 times
Notable
"Handling the basketball"
"Before he went to shoot the basketball"
Second half - 13
"Knocking that basketball out front"
"Beasley usually takes that basketball right to the rim"
"12 has to touch the basketball"
Total - 20
