Have your pencil & scorecard ready. With the expanded 68-team field, not to mention TruTV, DIRECTV 246, TNT & TBS joining CBS Sports on this year's "Road to the Final Four", the announce teams have been revealed for this year's NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. These are the crews who have been commissioned to call the games, starting one week from tonight, Tuesday, March 15th in Dayton, OH on the former CourtTV:

PLAY-BY-PLAY CREWS:
1. Jim Nantz/Clark Kellogg* CBS
2. Marv Albert/Steve Kerr* Turner
3. Verne Lundquist/Bill Raftery* CBS
4. Gus Johnson/Len Elmore* CBS
5. Kevin Harlan/Reggie Miller/Dan Bonner CBS/Turner
6. Ian Eagle/Jim Spanarkel CBS
7. Tim Brando/Mike Gminski CBS
8. Spero Dedes/Bob Wenzel CBS

*Denotes teams that'll work the Regional Semifinals & Finals; Steve Kerr will join Jim Nantz & Clark Kellogg for call of the NCAA Final Four and National Championship Game in Houston April 2nd & 4th.

SIDELINE REPORTERS:
Craig Sager, David Aldridge & Marty Snider (Turner) Tracy Wolfson, Lesley Visser & Sam Ryan (CBS)

STUDIO CREWS:
New York Hosts: Greg Gumbel (CBS), Ernie Johnson, Jr. (Turner)
NY Studio Analysts: Greg Anthony (CBS), Kenny Smith & Charles Barkley (Turner)
Atlanta Host: Matt Winer (Turner)

NOTE: Seth Davis & Reggie Miller join the NY studio crew for the second round of the NCAA Tournament.

One notable omission from this year's NCAA Tournament crew is Jay Bilas, who had been on loan to CBS Sports in recent years from ESPN, where he continues as one of the "Worldwide Leader's" many college basketball analysts.

I hope Reggie Miller does better in the tournament than last weekend during Kentucky-Tennesee, called some players the wrong name and once called the Wildcats, the Wild.

I hope CBS and Turner do better with the games, than tonight's selection show, way too many team reactions and it was on a 3 second delay, just name the teams, don't need the team's reactions.

A thumbs up, Barkley sounds pretty good so far.
