It's not like he was hurt and unable to do anything though. It's only been a couple weeks off games where he is still working out a high level and was already one of the best conditioned athletes in college basketball. I think he will be just fine.
Hummel is great! I’ve literally never heard anyone say this.
Yeah why all the Hummel hate?

If you want a completely homer broadcast, then certainly crank up the radio feed. Hummel is a top notch color analyst and calls the game as he sees it. You couldn't ask for a much better color analyst for a Sunday afternoon telecast that is not on CBS.
He can get a little preachy, imo
I don't think he starts. Coach said he doesn't want to break the chemistry that these guys built whil TJ was out. I think for a game or 2 he4 may just come off the bench and get in the flow
Robbie Hummel and Brian Cardinal...the two that got away.
That was announced this morning
I relied to a similar post about Maryland being a trap game. Being ignorant and arrogant, I purported that the Illini should blow Maryland out of the gym.
Having typed that, I have not learned my lesson and truly believe the Illini will cover and "blow Rutger out of the gym."

Hummel is a bright spot in basketball broadcasting. Mike L. is also going to have a great career if he doesn't go into coaching (again) which I think he would be great at.

This is true. They also have very different roles, as Hummel is a color analyst. The correct comparison would be Hummel vs. Thomas.
No. He has strong basketball opinions. He calls out bad plays and bad officiating. The best in the business.
Who's Robbie HumBle?

Your correct.......but Hummel butts in too much for me....reminds me of Jim Edmonds when he does Cardinal games........
Hummel is better than Deon or Doug A. but I'm in heaven listening to BB and whoever on the Illini network....I really really am....JMHO

Ok, we all love BBa no doubt. But they have different jobs. Not just analyst v color, also radio v TV. They are both fantastic broadcasters.

This season has been great as far as little if any sync problems between audio and my streaming video.....
I have found out it works best if your take the video OFF the green live status icon ...
Usually the only time I ever have a small problem is starting the second half sync'ed up...the last dozen or so games I never have to adjust anything......I always click radio on Dan's first post in the game thread....I already have a second window open and click loyalty again and that's where I click the radio button....that way I can watch and listen on one loyalty window and post on the other....
I'm amazed that anyone listens to the network announcers when you can listen to Brian B. and Deon or Doug....it feels to me like I'm there at SFC...
It really really does...
