My lets piss of KU fan's bracket at work is alive and strong. All my final four, OSU, WV, KSU, and Kentucky are still alive.

WV and Kentucky??

[hawkeyecub]

Oh wait, Butler stole it? FOUL! I meant to call a foul!

 

That was honestly as late of a call as I've ever seen.

Jay Bilas is the [expletive] man. The last few years he's become brutally honest.

Bilas is an ACC homer. In 05 he dropped the gem that Deron Williams, the Big 10 preseason POTY, wouldn't be in the top 15 players in the ACC. Yeah spot on jackass.

No, Bilas is one of the best commentators in the game today. Doesn't mean he's always right, and he admitted his Williams comment was way off at the end of the year. Heck, he called the Illinois-Arizona game in '05.

Oh come on. You can find a flaw with any broadcaster over their careers. Especially if he says something negative about your favorite team.

 

He's the best and there's no one really close. He and Herbstreit (and he's said things about Iowa over the years that were inaccurate or pissed me off) are my favorite two tv analysts in sports. Although Gottlieb pisses me off sometimes, I love him too.

I don't care, don't like him a bit. He ever say that he was wrong about Weber crying about Sampson? Or did he once again totally put his big foot in his mouth?

[Flames24Rulz]

Bilas is the best analyst in any sport. Period.

I'm sorry but I just don't think Bilas is that great. He speaks like a [expletive] coach in his analysis. Gottlieb is way better.

[CubbieBum]

Bilas is a great announcer during games. His analysis that comes outside of games is normally pretty biased and wrong.

[illiniguy]

And I thought I was sensitive to media criticism.

The Williams one doesn't really matter, but just shows he either wasn't paying attention to what he was talking about or just didn't know what he was talking about. The Sampson thing was out of line. He called Weber out on ESPN and never issued an apology after it was proven that Sampson was a big POS cheater. Real stand up.

That's bad? I like when someone actually breaks the game down and adds to it rather than just saying what everyone already knows like most color guys do.

And if there's one thing we can't tolerate here, it's baseless criticism of Bruce Weber.

Considering Bilas is one of the most unbiased analysts alive, I have a hard time seeing how he comes off as "pretty biased."

 

But believe what you want to believe, I guess.

Touche, although he is doing it in front of a national audience. And, for the record, I was always fine with how Weber called Sampson out.

Bilas is perceived that way because he never gives his alma-mater, Duke, a shot. He goes against Duke so much in order to appear unbiased that he is, well, biased.

I love Bilas, but I'll say he's got a bit of a boner for the Big East. Though my sights of him are often limited to Big East games, he seems to talk them up a lot. I'm sure he's similar with the ACC, though.

Hubert Davis usually says nothing of any interest but his laugh gets me every time. Overall the biggest strength of ESPN is their college basketball crew.

Last year Hubert Davis said the Big Ten wouldn't win a single game in the NCAAs. This was after MSU was revealed as a 2 seed.
