These Final Four viewers didn't realize they were watching team-specific announcers and got so mad


There's another channel for your team! It says "team stream" right on the TV!


So, for the second straight year, the Tunrner channels did something really cool for the Final Four: one channel carried the national broadcast, with Jim Nantz, Bill Raftery and Grant Hill, and sister channels carried team-specific commentary: TNT features a Duke stream with Alaa Abdelnaby and truTV features a Michigan State stream with Mateen Cleaves.


And for the second straight year, fans didn't figure this out and got super mad. These fans were watching the Duke stream on TNT and were super mad that the announcers weren't hyping up Michigan State more:

















The games also had different feeds -- these fans were specifically mad that Tom Izzo wasn't getting facetime:









We couldn't find any similar fans watching truTV hoping for Duke commentary -- harder to find truTV on your TV accidentally, I guess.


(Hat-tip to Stewart Mandel for finding about half of these.)
