Why Do We Need Announcers?

I was watching the North Carolina-South Carolina basketball game last night and Jay Bilas really outdid himself in announcing this game. He kept harping on the fact that South Carolina had 17 first half turnovers and that North Carolina should be ahead by alot more than 13 points. I am not denying it was a valid point but he repeated it over and over and over.

I have always thought Jay Bilas is one of the better college analysts out there especially for an ex- Duke Blue Devil but last night he was really off of his game. Most ex-Dookies are cut out to be clueless announcers or assistants on Coach K's staff but Jay Bilas was always the exception. Maybe he has spent too much time listening to Jay Williams or maybe he should stay in the studio but last night, he was horrible.
