Sad to learn that the great college basketball analyst Billy Packer has died. He was a huge part of the college basketball experience and though he could be infuriating at times it was also comforting when he called a game. #billypacker #ncaa #acc #accbasketball https://www.wralsportsfan.com/college-basketball-broadcaster-billy-packer-dies-at-82/20691529/

Billy Packer, Straight-Talking College Basketball Analyst, Dies at 82

With partners on NBC and then CBS, and with a rapid, opinionated style, he was heard during every N.C.A.A. men’s basketball tournament from 1975 to 2008.
