Awesome! Fun to listen to and doesn't hold back.

But, it doesn't make him wrong!

 

[akaukswoosh]

Annoys me. The guy was even trashing the UK womens team on twitter a couple of years ago. If you respond to one of his nasty tweets he blocks you. All bark and no bite.

Been a member 10 years longer than you. I just don’t post much but the guy is good!

I like his way of thinking on Oklahoma getting in the tournament, they are in it because of one reason, Trae Young. They should not be in over Oklahoma state, not many teams go 4 and 12 their last 16 games or whatever it was and get in, no way.

Yes, Oklahoma was put in simply for the rating with Young. How Ok State isn't there instead given their records and outcomes head to head is otherwise inexplicable. You don't lose all the games in January and February and still get in.

He's actually one of the best, if not THE best analyst out there. He makes a fool of himself on Twitter, but that doesn't make him unique. Twitter is an absolute cesspool. But when he sticks to straight analysis and commentary he's really good.

 

[FiveStarCat]

I wish I could block his twitter history from memory because I want to like him. He’s definitely one of the better analysts out there.

Love Dakich. I live in Indy and get to listen to him daily on 1070 and it's a treat. Yeah he hates UK but he's very fair to them on TV and has a ton of respect for Cal. Huge fan of DD.

 

[trav55_rivals214556]

His analysis of the game is very good. He baits people and gets in twitter wars with people like he did recently with Louisville fans and some people take the bait. I think he acts insane sometimes and definitely see why people don’t like him.

Recently during a Kentucky game he called himself out for saying Tyler Ulis wasn’t one of the best point guards in America. He said he was dead wrong and personally I appreciate when someone’s able to do that,

 

[MNantz]

For me there is just no way to explain this one, don't give me any B/S about front half of there schedule they have lost 12 out of 16 if I am not mistaken. Its not his fault but Trae Young is the only reason they even got a sniff of this tournament.

 

[JoeBeeHall]

He is good alright good for nothing.

 

[KyFaninNC]

I like him doing games.

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

Little known factoid. He held Michael Jordan to single digits.

 

[TeleTubby]

He's like Vitale, Bilas, Romo, etc. Some guys come into the field with a fresh take on a lot of subjects. Then they get full of themselves a little bit. And the fans turn on them.

 

[kyboy1998_rivals34276]

Little known factoid. He held Michael Jordan to single digits.

Or extremely overly known factoid.

 

[Dr. H Lecter]

Or extremely overly known factoid.

I just heard that the other day. A guy at the bar told me that Kevin Knox was a QB in High School and I said.... dang, no freaking way.. He says, I swear its as true as Dan Dakich holding Jordan to less than 10 points...and I said, dang. No freaking way....next you'll be telling me Willie Cauley Stein was a receiver in HS...and the guy says...that's stupid. Nobody would believe that.

You learn a lot of cool factoids at the bar.

 

[BlueElvis]

Little known factoid. He held Michael Jordan to single digits.

How? In his rectum?

 

[Jakarii]

He’s awful and a complete hypocrite. Some fans only like him if he kisses their teams Azz. He’s far from honest, just says things for shock value

 

[deuces r wild_rivals39030]

Dakich has replaced Bilas as the best analyst on the "Network Leader".

 

[Mojocat_rivals48469]

Love Dakich. I live in Indy and get to listen to him daily on 1070 and it's a treat. Yeah he hates UK but he's very fair to them on TV and has a ton of respect for Cal. Huge fan of DD.

Which probably means he hates BBN and not UK, exactly. Or maybe he does the smart business thing and simply trolls BBN - great for hits and retweets, great for keeping a story alive...

 

[BoulderCat_rivals187983]

I know he’s an IU grad, but despite it I kind of like him to. Same for Bilas. I try not to let being a UK grad cloud all of my thinking and opinions.

 

[jc2010]

I like Dakich more than most of the other commentators, at least he talks about the game you're watching. Personally I would prefer they hire radio guys so then we would have someone to tell you who the foul was on, why the turnover, etc

 

[Snackbar11]

Like him calling games, other than that hes a tool trying to get hits. Good at calling games though..

 

[jrollins24]

Awesome! Fun to listen to and doesn't hold back.

and zero links..awesome

 

[KYSC4]

Dakich can’t believe refs are running to this guy. Coach K gets such a hall pass and it’s ridiculous!
