I like Bilas and Wright, Bardo? Not as much. Gets words mixed up and mixes in too much of his own opinion and experiences for me. I like Hummel and think he does a better job of not sounding like a former PU player commenting on other B10 programs and staying objective. You never forget where Bardo went to school and that seems to seep into much of his opinion and comments. Plus, good player, but was he all that? Whoever he's with always describes him as the "Great Steven Bardo". I always think of him in tandem with Nick Anderson and basically the defensive presence on those teams. Anderson was more complete and accomplished as a player, imo. Feel like I hear the "Great Steven Bardo" 5X per broadcast, and rarely hear that with Shon Morris or Hummel. My rank for those guys would be: 1) Hummel, 2) Morris, 3) Bardo.Good news - we get Bardo tonight and not Hummel. These are my top 3 color commentators in the game.

Hunmel at times will sound a lot like Troy Aikman. Similar delivery and style.I know many people like Hummel, but he is so boring to me.

At least we know you can see color.. congrats on making THE most idiotic post of the night.2 of 3 are white
Honestly, when Dakich would get into dissecting actual game stuff or strategy, I thought he was really, really good, but then he could get on a tangent and become almost Waltonesque.worst commentor I don't miss, dan dackich
Nobody can out Walton Bill himselfHonestly, when Dakich would get into dissecting actual game stuff or strategy, I thought he was really, really good, but then he could get on a tangent and become almost Waltonesque.
I would love to be sitting at the bar with Walton and Raftery. Not much else though.Nobody can out Walton Bill himself
probably the only way Bill would be tolerable at a bar is if you had a few gummiesI would love to be sitting at the bar with Walton and Raftery. Not much else though.
I’ve been contemplating putting putting that idiomatic alcoholic on ignore for a while, and this comment finally pushed me to the edge. I was trying to recall the last time he posted some thing that I thought was interesting and I can’t remember it so I probably won’t miss any of his contributions.At least we know you can see color.. congrats on making THE most idiotic post of the night.

That would be an experience I would relish, but you might not make it through. Raftery is a good old fashioned Irishman and he is well practiced at it.I would love to be sitting at the bar with Walton and Raftery. Not much else though.

I am a huge fan of Hummel. If he's boring to some, it's only because he is so analytical. If you are a student of the game, you really can appreciate how well he understands the technical aspects. The same is true with Jay Wright. It's easy to see why Wright was such an outstanding coach and why Hummel probably would be if he chose that career path. For my money, the entertainment should be reserved for the play-by-play folks. Color commentators are to educate and inform.Bilas is pretty good, he's an attorney and very intelligent.
I am a fan of Robbie Hummel and Jess Settles. They come from two different eras of B1G basketball and I think do a great job.
1. Robbie Hummel- I don't think it's close. He is the only one that actually tells you when the ref's blow it. Great analysis.Good news - we get Bardo tonight and not Hummel. These are my top 3 color commentators in the game.

Loathe pU but Hummel is the consummate professional. Calm, knowledgeable, engaged and objective. Stays forcused on the game, understands it and communicates clearly.1. Robbie Hummel- I don't think it's close. He is the only one that actually tells you when the ref's blow it. Great analysis.
2, Bill Raftery- Pure entertainment value. He loves the game and is very entertaining.
3, A lot are close here. I like Jimmy Dykes, Jess Settles, and haven't hear enough of Jay Wright.
I think Jess Settles does a good jobGood news - we get Bardo tonight and not Hummel. These are my top 3 color commentators in the game.

I thought Dakich was great at CC. Solid basketball insights, said enough weird stuff to be entertaining but didn't detract from the game.Honestly, when Dakich would get into dissecting actual game stuff or strategy, I thought he was really, really good, but then he could get on a tangent and become almost Waltonesque.
Yeah especially when TJD got hammered and he called it clean.Bardo was awesome last night.
I cannot believe anyone like Jimmy Dykes. He is horrible.
I think Hummel does a very good objective job.I know many people like Hummel, but he is so boring to me.
I agree. I can’t stand Jimmy Dykes. He is so UK biased. Makes every UK game he does seem like it’s a UK network, and he does a ton of them.Bardo was awesome last night.

Hummel's vocabulary and unbiased presentation is far superior to Bardo's. Settles can elaborate on Indiana high school basketball and Bob Knight and he is comfortable on his farm driving his John Deere tractor. The only reason Dakich isn't doing college basketball for ESPN was his poor judgement at the Fan. His on court demonstrations at half time were educational and entertaining. Hence:I agree. I can’t stand Jimmy Dykes. He is so UK biased. Makes every UK game he does seem like it’s a UK network, and he does a ton of them.
No top three, but Bill Raftery my all time fave up to about 6-7 years ago when he started slowing down.Good news - we get Bardo tonight and not Hummel. These are my top 3 color commentators in the game.
