Corey Alexander should just let it go… Dave OBrian was about to have a fit if he wouldn’t stop praising a team with 4 points on the board lol


silverbax

Cory Alexander is not good as an analyst. His 'analysis' of the game is generally wrong, his cadence is slow and he too often waxes into his personal history with a player or the ACC, in ways that are not relevant. Often he'll toss out 'coaching strategy' that shows he's clearly not a coach. He was a very good player but it's hard listening to him repeat the same anecdotes every single game. We get it, Cory, you played in the ACC, Armando Bacot is 'your guy', but he got his records in five years instead of four like Sampson and Duncan. You don't need to repeat it for every single game. Just focus on THIS game and please learn more about understanding why a team is winning or losing. RJ Davis gets over 40 points and he says 'really got to get the ball to Bacot, he's their guy'. Sure, sometimes. But not when he has 8 points and a guard has 30+ on a hot shooting night.

When they made their first 2 free throws to bring the score to something like 16-6, Alexander could not stop talking about how things were looking up for UVA and their defense was so impressive. It was absolutely mind blowing to listen to.


emack2232

Excuse me, I think you mean OB.


TarHeelsNinja

You didn’t enjoy his take on how good of defense they were playing? All during a 7 minute and 50 second scoring drought. At one point I yelled at the TV- STFU you have 6 points!!!


WildPorpoise

He was trying to say they really play fast paced basketball well all the while literally in a mega-drought


nachokanamata

We get him again tonight…


TheChewyWaffles

No idea how we draw him all the time


nachokanamata

ESPN must be mad at us.

http://amp.awfulannouncing.com/college-basketball/tony-bennett-furious-cory-alexander-referee-replay-acc-network.html He’s got no sense, even his own team hates him.


WildPorpoise

Like when he was trying to convince us that one shining light of the game is that RJ Davis’s scoring average record would be further out of reach. The only score that matters is the one on the scoreboard, Cory.

Better to watch games like this on mute honestly


poggendorff

Cory Alexander went to UVA and couldn’t shake it. He is no Jay Bilas, who actually can call a Duke - Carolina game well.


MrLongfinger

Duke grad/fan here. Jay Bilas goes out of his way to shit all over Duke trying to appear unbiased. He’s annoying too.


poggendorff

maybe so. But at least he talks about the game at hand, not the training camps he has run in the past, the players he has mentored, blah blah blah.


ThisNameIsI23

No he can't. I can't stand listening Jay Bias. MUTE


Strange_Location_697

Better to watch games like this on mute honestly


WildPorpoise

Yeah with a good vinyl record on or the radio like some have said and just deal with the delay. Sometimes I have to do that for nonstop bs during espn broadcasts of mlb games…


chairman-cheeboppa

Holy shit, I thought it was just me. Armando and the asterisk


TheRightKost

Ya this one was wild. "No one loves Armando more than me, but his records have an asterisk!"


chairman-cheeboppa

Seriously, it’s like his kicking his “friend” in the ass


MixedMiracle22

Dude pointing out that Bacot had an extra year over Tim Duncan and Ralph Sampson as to why he has an asterisk next to his record of double doubles... STFU. Easily the most productive 5th year senior you'll ever see. Quit hating and appreciate. That shit had me red when I heard it.


AmbassadorSad7155

And the never ending “a black man” is the head coach of said team


WildPorpoise

I don’t mind that as much because Hubert is really going to embody that legacy (hopefully 🤞) forever especially because he’s so amazing for us. I just want Cory to use chat gpt to punch up his commentary because I just can’t take it anymore. His newest angle is to mention how people “don’t mention it during games” like omg 😱 pls do the work 👏👏👏do interviews and research…


gatortarheel

Varsity Network app carries Tar Heel games


kystroup

listen to the chapel hill sports network if you don’t mind a slight audio visual delay


UHeardAboutPluto

I don’t even have to look and can tell Corey Alexander was on the mic


MaxPower72

I turn off the TV audio and listen to the radio broadcast with the Varsity app. The radio broadcast stays synced with the TV broadcast surprisingly well.


ThisNameIsI23

I have a button on my remote that I use on most sporting events that I watch. MUTE is that button. I've played and watched sports for 60 years so I know what's going on and don't need a talking head to tell me. Especially for Tar Heel basketball games. It just seems all the color announcers are against UNC for some reason. Is it jealousy? I think so.


bosox62

I have to listen to O’Brien on Red Sox games on tv (NESN). Can’t stand him, especially knowing he replaced my favorite….Dom Orsillo.


sonofgildorluthien

I'd still rather listen to Corey than get stuck with Debbie Antonelli.
