Andrea, Oh Andrea

Andrea Lloyd - Women's Basketball & Volleyball Color Analyst; Studio Analyst

"Andrea brings a wealth of basketball knowledge to The Mtn., having played 14 seasons at the professional level in the WNBA, ABL, Italian, and European Leagues. She earned a gold medal with the women’s basketball team at the 1988 Olympics, and was a four-year starter and three-time first-team.

All-American at the University of Texas. She was honored as a member of the Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame in June of 2007. Andrea began her broadcasting career with FSN North in 2002, where she worked as a color analyst covering University of Minnesota women’s basketball and the WNBA Minnesota Lynx. Since that time she has worked for FSN North, FSN Midwest, FSN Southwest, CSTV, and others." (Biography taken from themtn.tv)

As we kick of the inauguration of "down with the mtn.", I would feel somewhat amiss if my first post was not about Ms. Andrea Lloyd. For the last couple of years we have had the privilege of hearing detailed analysis from Andrea on the Mtn. In addition to her large stature she has quite the resume as is seen below. The only thing that I can't quite understand after reading her biography on the Mtn.'s website is why her broadcasting career took such a rapid decline, going from FSN, to CSTV, and now with the Mtn. (it doesn't get any worse than the Mtn). I feel bad for whatever mishap that ocurred in her life that caused this to happen. With this being said I would rather listen to Andrea cover a game any day of the week than to have to hear the wannabe Dick Vitale Marty Fletcher.
