College hoops podcasts?

[Brewtown Andy]

Anybody know of any good ones?  ESPN's was good before last season when Glockner left, and now it's just Andy Katz interviewing coaches and players.

Bumping this because it’s the closest title to what I’m discussing.

But one episode in to Titus and Tate now having their own pods individually, and so far each individual pod is significantly worse than the Titus & Tate Podcast. Tate’s first new episode was a lot better than Titus’s in my opinion. I think him and producer Kyle have a lot better working relationship on the pod. Whoever Brandon Walker is was absolutely horrible as a guest on Tate’s new show.

We’ll see how they evolve, but I don’t think either will rival the Eye On College Basketball Podcast, when I thought the Titus and Tate Podcast did.

I’m personally disappointed they aren’t working together anymore. I thought they were great.

The first hour of 9 two noon with John Kuhn on 97.3 the game usually covers college basketball. Brian Butch former Wisconsin Badgers is actually very high on Marquette. He praises them daily and said they can make the final 4. He was actually big on Tyler Kolek before the national media starting catching on.

I never thought I’d say this, but I’m rooting for Butch to do well. I enjoy the games he calls. He seems to have nice insights on the game.

I think he’s very good as well and heard him talking yesterday about he loves broadcasting and really hopes to continue.  I’ve enjoyed when he’s done MU games. 

[cheebs09]

Also, a plug for Scrambled Eggs. Phil and Joe do a nice job. During the Wojo years, I wasn’t a religious listener, but it’s now appointment listening for me once it drops.

Who would have thought Optimistic Phil would have been 4 wins too low for Big East record.

I'm embarrassed to say, I agree.

Agree with all of this.

The Golden Break is great too. The interview with Jerel McNeal ruled. I could listen to Rel talk hoops all day.

[LloydsLegs]

National:

Above and:

Field of 68 is good for immediate reaction to games that day, but otherwise meandering and inconsistent bc they have so many different contributors.

And Katz March Madness not great- tends to just run through his reactions to the AP poll

3 Man Weave great for Mid majors

MU centric:

Scrambled Eggs, of course.

The Golden Break (adam often does interviews-excellent Jerel interview on most recent episode; this year he has had TK, Ben Steele,  and Nevada also)

Big East centric:

Power Six Podcast BE  version - I like it.  They know the BE and focus a little bit on each team.

This Week in the Big East.  Meh- Announcer voice guy, bland info, but they get a coach for an ok interview once in a while.

Didn't Brian work with Luke Fischer when he was at MU?

[brewcity77]

National:

• Three Man Weave: They know the entire country better than anyone else and are ahead of the curve throwing love to teams that deserve it.
• CBS Eye on CBB Podcast: Parish and Norlander are the best of the brand name pods. Great chemistry and cover the high majors well.
• Field of 68: A bit hit or miss depending on who's in there, but the best daily option.

Marquette Specific:

• The Golden Break: I always feel like I learn something new, and Adam gets great interviews.
• Scrambled Eggs: Love my Cracked Sidewalks brethren.
• Real Chilly: Miss those guys, they always had a different perspective than I did, and I appreciated that.

Big East:

• Big East Barroom: Relatively new pod, but they do a decent job of running everyone down.
• Dauster/TO/Fanta (DTF) Podcast: Not Big East specific, but Dauster is a UConn guy and Fanta is Seton Hall, so they cover the league a lot. Solid insight, though I was a bigger fan when Bobby Reags was working with Dauster.
• This Week in the Big East: I only mention it to say DO NOT BOTHER. I can't stand McNamara, painfully stuck in the past and obnoxiously Providence partisan.

Was Walker on with Titus or Tate? Titus just moved to Barstool and Walker is a Barstool guy. I don't follow him closely, but seems like college football is his main focus.

He is.

Titus yesterday did Big12/Acc/SEC coverage and had Walker on for SEC stuff. If someone isnt used to BW's schtick I can get the immediate hate and hes way more of a football guy. But Titus will be forced to incorporate some of the main Barstool personalities at times.

[Skatastrophy]

Barstool is too bro-ey for me

[Pepe Sylvia]

I listen to:
Golden break: infrequent, but good. I really enjoyed Jerel saying he thought Iman Shumpert would have committed "if we weren't so unnatural carnal knowledgeing guard heavy" 

Scrambled Eggs: good stuff for MU, the best weekly pod for MU i'd say.

Real Chilly: Miss it quite a bit. How do you stop right when we hire shaka? poor decision. They do in game commentary on something called playback nowadays, which is something at least.

Big East Barroom: usually pretty enjoyable for a weekly rundown of the league.

Road to the Garden: These guys are solid too, think I like the barroom just a smidge better.

The Power Six Big East Basketball show: infrequent and short eps sometimes, only heard 2 eps so far, seems ok. All of these seem at least ok when they mostly are talking about how good marquette is tbh.

Eye on College Basketball: I like this one even when they are not talking marquette or big east. My fave national CBB pod for sure. Parrish and norlander both  hit the spot for me.

I'm neither a hater or a lover of Barstool, all depends on what you're looking for. But yeah it's definitely for laughs as opposed to enlightening analysis.

[TallTitan34]

Field of 68 is great if you get Dauster, Fanta, and Oglesby. 

Goodman sucks.

I didn't like LaVall Jordan as a coach but I like him on here.  Could be because he's always talking up Marquette.  So much so I'm convinced he wants a spot on the MU coaching staff.   On the flip side, I liked Chris Mack as a coach but don't like him on here.

Generally agree, especially on Goodman, Jordan, and Mack. Their former players are very hit-or-miss. Too many ACC guys that can't understand why ACC teams don't get more respect while simultaneously seeming to acknowledge the league isn't that good. And for some reason, the UNC guys cannot pronounce names (Hansbrough and Henson never get Tshiebwe right).

[wadesworld]

Yeah sorry, he was on Titus's podcast.  He seemed like a total wannabe hardo, came on the Podcast and basically said, "I'm the football version of Titus, except I never played college football and don't know as much about football as Titus knows about basketball."  Then he continued to interrupt and talk over Titus about college basketball the entire time.

[MU_B]

I think Titus will get better, as I imagine going from a 2 man to 1 man show is tough.  But the first episode he did was awkward, he dropped about 465 "ums and uhs".  Tate is fine, I just hope he dials back the UNC content a bit. I'm going to listen to him more for the occasional Tomshady3000 sound bites.

[IrwinFletcher]

Goodman is so annoying and now that his daughter is in broadcasting at IU, he continually tweets about all things IU.  Ready to unfollow.

[We R Final Four]

Dauster has such a hard on for UConn it’s over the top.
Calhoun is the greatest coach ever.
Compares best player to Kemba Walker.
Any of his pod mates mention UConn and he feels he must chime in.

Titus will be great. He was a one man show for years, blogging, writing a book and making videos. He'll be awesome once he finds his groove.

Possibly.  But Barstool will make him have hosts from their other podcasts on.  I think he's better with a co-host and they may have a guest on 10% of the time than he will be having a rotating group of guests each episode.
