Dykes was doing an Auburn game and tried to claim the SEC as the #1 conference. Charles Barkley was part of their crew for the 4 minute segment during the game and had to correct Dykes on so much shit. Even Barkley was like “no, the Big 12 is #1. The SEC *might* be #2.”
Fran knows most of the rule book, so he tries to explain the calls as the rules are written. I also think Fran will tell it like it is—if a team is playing poorly, he’ll say they basically are not going to do well in this game, in the conference tournament, or in the NCAAs if they don’t fix x, y, or z.
Dykes tries to justify why anything and everything SEC will make the Final Four, even if it’s Georgia playing Vanderbilt. Dykes was also a terrible coach, so his explanations of why coaches are doing things during the game or running certain plays or sets absolutely suck ass. I don’t mind Fran’s explanations there.
