NEW YORK (AP) – Michigan State great Mateen Cleaves and Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski’s son-in-law are among the commentators who will call the ”homer” broadcasts during the Final Four.
Turner Sports and CBS are bringing back the team-centric alternative telecasts for the NCAA semifinals that debuted last season. The rematch between Kentucky and Wisconsin on Saturday will feature some of the same announcers as 2014, including former Wildcats star Rex Chapman on the ”Team Stream” for his alma mater on TNT, and ex-Badger Mike Kelley on truTV.
For the first game between the Blue Devils and the Spartans, former Duke player Alaa Abdelnaby will serve as the analyst on TNT. The sideline reporter will be Chris Spatola, a one-time director of basketball operations at Duke who is married to Krzyzewski’s youngest daughter.
Cleaves will be the analyst for the Michigan State broadcast on truTV.
The main telecasts air on TBS.
