Suck!! IMHO. Besides being ABCers, they both screw up calls, miss plays and just plain make talking mistakes. Doris' voice is one of the most annoying things since Howard Cosell. Defintley the "B-" team of announcers.
Doris Burke and Sean McDonough

Burke has some pretty decent analysis sometimes I think, but I agree her voice is annoying (or maybe its her delivery, I'm not sure). I do get annoyed when it seems she's trying to prove she belongs. As for McDonough, I think he's very average at basketball, and is a better baseball guy. Plus, he's a Cuse homer.
One thing I will give McDonough, is that he was ribbing Duke a good amount in their game against ND. He kept saying how Grayson Allen was the best in the country, and maybe the best ever, at selling contact and embellishing calls. He said he has a great ability to score while having all his arms and legs flailing about uncontrollably. Of course, I assumed those were backhanded compliments and said tongue-in-cheek - but if he was being genuinely complimentary to Allen, I take that back.

Was Burke who ESPN had announcing our game vs Pitt? If so, I'm glad I watched the game live streaming on theacc.com and heard somebody else, Mike Gminski I think
