    JMO, but I have to mute those two or switch channels when they are on. Clark Kellogg is 100X better. I'm not sure why in the hell TBS thinks they should infuse those two into the college game. God awful.

    The entire coverage and everyone involved is awful. Charles and Kenny are the best when it comes to NBA coverage, and inside the NBA is still the best studio show. But it’s clear they don’t watch any college basketball and it shows. Not sure what the answer is though. No one knows anything about college basketball. Everyone on espn, who actually should know about the game, promoted Gonzaga and Arizona all year. Oops!

    My choice is just lean into Bill Walton for everything!

    Kellogg is outstanding, imo.

    Agree, and like I said, 100 X better than the other two stumbling, bumbling idiots.

    Kellogg has always been good. I think Kenny has really improved since his first run as a tournament commentator. I especially like his takes on guard play.

    Chuck…is just Chuck….he’s there as a personality who know basketball.

    I’d take this team over the Gottlieb crew any day.

    You might want to watch how Kenny breaks down film on Inside the NBA before you start calling him a stumbling-bumbling idiot.

    Terrible is Rex Chapman and Bob Huggins. Listening to them was like taking a sleeping pill.

    He does a terrible job of it during the telecast. Kellogg definitely doesn't need those two alongside. They can't sniff his jock.

    What happened to Seth Davis? I thought he was pretty good.

    Kenny Smith is great. Charles is generic but he’s always like that.

    Flipping through channels I saw him in a round table on CBS Sports 360 (or something like that).

    Kenny Smith is incredibly knowledgeable about basketball. I can't imagine thinking he is a bumbling idiot but hey, it's a message board so whatever.

    Barkley - generic??!!! Couldn’t disagree more. I get it if some don’t like him. I love listening to him.

    I meant generic in what he is saying when it comes to the college game, not his personality or what he brings to that team. When he is taking about the NBA he is more insightful

    I enjoy Barkley. He knows basketball and brings some extra as well.

    I agree that Barkley/Smith don't watch a ton of college basketball and it shows.
    That being said, he is an absolute national treasure and his NBA coverage is best of the best.

    Barkley is a "national treasure"? o_Oo_O Now that's funny. To each his own tho. Personally, I cant stand listening to him. At least Shaq is funny at times.

    I do agree with all on Kellogg.

    Barkley is hilarious and is a good guy. Everyone’s got their own preferred humor.
