The teams are locked in, the bracket is set and fans now know everything they can expect for the start of March Madness and the NCAA Men's Tournament.
Part of that involves the announcers who will be calling the games and providing color analysis, essentially, the people who help make the viewing environment at home as enthralling as March Madness can be. So while your bracket almost certainly will be busted Thursday (or Friday, if you're lucky), at the very least you'll have the chance to welcome these names into your home.
Here's a breakdown of the announcers for the first round of the NCAA Men's Tournament.
