I didn't watch the game until the end. I was stunned to hear the announcer cheer on the Nova shooter at the line and then continue with it until the end. Was he/they this biased all game long? I would have been so upset if I was a UNC fan.

It'll feel better when it stops hurting
Well they have different feeds for whatever channel you were on. I think they had 3 channels involved so you could hear it from your "home" air. I thought it bizarre too lol

Whatever happened to CBS?
Part of the contract that was set up (effective with the 2011 NCAAT) between the NCAA and CBS and Turner (TNT, TBS and TruTv) to show all the games. This year was the first time ever the NC was only available on cable.

“With kindest regards to Dr. Forrest C. Allen, the father of basketball coaching, from the father of the game.”

I don't remember hearing that, but if it happened on TBS it would've almost certainly been Bill Raftery, who loves his Big East teams.
I guess it could've also been Grant Hill (temporarily putting on his Puke cap), but I actually doubt that over the Raftery hypothesis.

There were actually 3 channels the game could be watched on. I don't know which was which, but there was the normal standard coverage channel, which I'm sure would have been Raftery, Hill et all.
Then there was a Nova channel, with Nova slanted announcers, and a tarred ones channel as well.

I read online last night that he literally went silent--couldn't even announce or add commentary--when Jenkins hit the winning shot.
Such a brown-nosing homer...who has the audacity to publicly and loudly say that Larry Brown should be banned from the game (after the SMU penalties imposed by the NCAA)...yet then turns the other direction in the face of much more damning, systematically unethical cheating by UNC. Not only turns a 180, but actually supports Williams with the victimization rant about how people have been so rough on the poor, downtrodden TarHoles.
What a doofus. I'm glad he was put out to pasture for the biggest game of the year...
