Dakich may be the kiss of death.
The Patriots played the "nobody respects us card" all the way to another Lombardi trophy. Saban loves the nobody respects us card. Much more than rat poison.

Actually, Dakich is one of my favorite analysts along with Bilas. Maybe you don’t like him because he learned his jerkiness lessons well from Knight. He’s probably the analyst I would least like to spend time with.

Nah. He's just wrong very often.
Like when he said Jeff Brohm had accepted the Louisville job (he hadn't).
Or he had Steve Alford replacing Tom Crean (he didn't).
Or when he said Mikes Bridges "has no game." (he does).
Or when PJ Fleck was taking the Cincinnati job. (he didn't).
Or when he wrote earlier this year that the Rutgers and Penn State hoops squads were "dangerous" (they weren't, unless he meant dangerously bad).
Or when he wrote that any team that drafted Porzingis "would regret it" (I dunno ... maybe the Knicks do, but they're the Knicks for a reason).
There are others. Just saying, I take little comfort in Dakich thinking MU wins Thursday.

After giving it some thought... if Markus Howard is sidelined or otherwise neutralized by health issues, this game is a slam dunk for Murray State.  I'm sure the thought is that you can't replace a national top-5 scorer, and none of these "experts" has time to go back and look at the Georgetown game (among others).  But what they did have time to see was the highlight of Markus wincing in the hallway during the SHU game.  When Todd put pressure on the side of his wrist, that made for very powerful video.

So in my opinion, virtually everyone picking against MU right now is relying on Markus being injured.  Whether that's the case or not, I can't say, but what I can say is that if I had no affiliation to MU and saw that wince on Friday, I sure as hell would be betting on any #12 upsetting MU in the first round.

Wow, I'm very concerned for Benny.  Being able to mimic Myron Medcalf's writing so closely implies an oncoming case of dementia.

Can't argue with anything you say. My take was as a color analyst. DURING games, I think he does an outstanding job.

Sounds like Murray State is better than Buffalo. Quite frankly I can't remember when the basketball gurus ever liked Marquette.

I think you are in the minority with that opinion. I don't know anyone else who shares your admiration for him although I'm sure there are some.

Most cbb fans that I know have a hard time deciding who they dislike more between Vitake and Dakich.

No..... Anderson is a play by play guy not an analyst and he is really good...........add Walton to go with Dakich and Vitale and you have the Mount Rushmore  of awful analysts.

I put the entire NCAA link up in the Big East TV thread. Found no point starting a new one.

Oh.

Debbie Antonelli has done games for ESPN, BTN, CBS, FOX, Raycom and Westwood One. She also does WNBA games for ESPN and NBATV, and has been the main play-by-play voice of the Indiana Fever; since 1996. I like her! She does her homework.

Carter Blackburn has already done a Marquette game this year on CBSSN.

I know you couldn't care less but you manage to ruin this board every March with your relentless "look at me" posts and superfluous commentary.  I'll do my best to ignore but man, you make it so tough.

I enjoy Spotted Cow, of course.

You know, there's nothing like tuning in for an awful WCC game in San Diego on a Friday night enjoying a beer with nothing to do.  And old Bill Walton rambles on about god knows what with the play-by-play ignoring literally every other statement.  It can be fun...

While we disagree on Dakich, we certainly agree on the other two. But there’s a guy who is worse than both and it’s not even close. I was in my car lat week and turned on the Score. Rick Mahorn was doing color for the Illinois game. It was only radio, but he made Dickie Simpkins seem like a color guy god.
