The NCAA men’s basketball tournament begins Tuesday night with first two of the “First Four” games from Dayton, and two of the biggest names in basketball broadcasting, Charles Barkley and Dick Vitale, are teaming up for Tuesday’s second game between NC State and Texas.
Barkley and Vitale will be working with prominent play-by-play voice Brian Anderson for that one.
The threesome working the other games, including Prairie View and Lehigh Wednesday night features Jordan Kent, Jim Spanarkel and Jenny Dell. Spanarkel is a former Duke standout who played for the 76ers in the NBA.
