Turner Sports’ NCAA Tournament coverage always draws mixed reactions, as NBA analysts like Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith are on prominent display.
Monday night, Smith is taking some heat from Kansas Jayhawks fans.
Throughout the tournament, Smith has struggled to correctly pronounce the name of Kansas’ best player – Ochai Agbaji.
At this point in the NCAA Tournament, you would hope that wouldn’t be the case.
How does Kenny Smith not know how to say Ochai yet. It is BANANAS.

Why can’t people on professional tv announce Ochai’s name correctly

@TheJetOnTNT @CBSSportsHQ it’s been 3 weeks now and this is 10th time you continue to mis pronounce Christian Braun and Ochai Agbaji. Be a professional. Rude and a bad look for you. #FinalFour2022

And dude still can’t say Ochai correctly.

I guess it’s too much to ask that the analysts on the pregame show of the network that is airing the national championship game be able to pronounce the name of the best player who will be appearing in that game
