Jon Rothstein likes Iowa State

[TheSammo]

Jon Rothstein, CBS basketball analyst, was just on Jim Rome Show and did a break down of why he thinks Iowa State can get to Final Four. He said "assuming Iowa State gets past SMU" that it will set up an offensive spectacular between us and Gonzaga. He explained that although Iowa State has been in the tourney the past two years that we lacked a big man but that has now all changed with addition of Jameel McKay. Rothstein talked a bit about how effective McKay has been. He went on to say that he thinks that Hoiberg would be able to create favorable mismatches against Duke. The biggest thing that I thought was interesting was how informed he seemed about McKay.

Rothstein is a walking CBB encyclopedia. He puts as much effort into teams like Iona and Harvard as he does the Power 5 schools. In other words....an analyst that actually does his job.

He does, but he also is the rare commentator that focuses on the positives of everyone. He is the promotes most teams like Vitals does Duke.

He loves McKay:

Jameel McKay watch: 14 points, 10 rebounds, and two blocks in Iowa State's win at TCU. Playing like an All-Big 12 caliber player.

and

Jameel McKay's last five games for Iowa State: 13.6 PPG, 10.6 RPG, 2.8 BPG. Playing like an All-Big 12 caliber big man. Really active.

Jameel is a role player that won't have an instant impact. Seth Greenbert said so and he's THE top male sideline reporter in the biz.
