COMMENTARY
College basketball analysis covers wide spectrum
A's ESPN's College GameDay
A LMSN's College GameDay prepares to come to town. it is remarkable to think how well known sports talking heads have become. Phrases such as "diaper dandy" and "send it in" are now part of fans' everyday vernacular. Lost in the fray is the broadcaster who actually makes the game more enjoyable to watch. Without further ado, I give you the best and worst play-by-play and color men in college basketball.
Best play-by-play
Kevin Harlan, CBS. He is simply the best in the business. His combination of a booming voice and dramatic flair makes any game he does feel like a big game. His trademark "right between the eyes" call remains his trademark, and he gets bonus points for being a Kansas alumnus.
BY KAYVON SARRAF
KANSAN COLUMNIST
KSARRAF@KANSAN.COM
Dan Shulman, ESPN: Shulman somehow manages to stay on top of the action despite being paired with a maniac like Dick Vitale. He rarely makes mistakes.
Dave Armstrong, ESPN Regional! He is the king of the cheesy pun. Armstrong once mentioned that "nobody perspires like Russell Robinson" during the Ball State game. Yes, he said that.
Worst play-by-play
Brent Musberger, ESPN: No comment necessary for those who have heard Musberger.
Jay Bilas, ESPN and CBS: A former Duke, but he is still able to remain unbiased and provide actual game analysis, which is rare these days.
Best color
Bill Raftery, ESPN and CBS. The game may be starting to pass him by, but he is still lovable for his catchphrases such as "to the tin" and "a little lingerie on the deck."
Jon Sunvold, ESPN Regional:
It's a shame ESPN dumped Sunvold in favor of Fran Fraschilla for Big 12 games.
Doug Gottlieb, ESPN: The former Oklahoma State point guard
once most famous for wearing his shorts backwards against Kansas has become a solid analyst. He provides a Big 12 perspective to the nation and is not afraid to speak his mind.
Worst color
Dick Vitale: Dickie V. has become a caricature of his old self. Watch a 1980s game on ESPN Classic and he actually analyzed games. Now he spends the whole game screaming and ranting.
foolish.
Billy Packer, CBS: Packer often provides valuable insight, but often fails to do his homework on teams and says things that make him look
KANSANCLASSIFIEDS
Digger Phelps, ESPN: He's not really a color man, but as a studio analyst few say more outlandish things, such as last week's comment that Texas Tech is the Big 12's best team. He loses points for always holding a highlighter that matches his tie色. But as Gottlieb said on Kansas City radio last week, this may not be a bad thing because it keeps viewers' minds off his words.
