Announcers for next two games?
- Thread starter RUSCFORMERLYRULOU
- Start date
Jason Horowitz handles play-by-play and Jess Settles is the game analyst tonight.
The announcers for Sunday have not been announced yet.
I haven't heard Wenzel do any games this season... and I watch a lot of college basketball.

Wenzel was not on the BTN talent roster when they announced it: https://btn.com/2022/10/11/big-ten-...ir-basketball-talent-ahead-of-2022-23-season/
This will be at least the 3rd game at the RAC for Horowitz this year. Settles had a couple of RU games last season but his is his first of 2022-23.
Was once a serviceable analyst but really dropped off the last few years. I assume Bobby has retired.
Lets hope he is better than Hummel, he was such a homer the other night!!
Hummel hates us now for some reason. Literally every close call that went RU’s way needed a 30 second slow motion deep analysis by him and ended with him saying the refs missed one, RU got lucky, blah blah
Bob did the Lobo game last week.... It was great to see him on TV.
I don't think Hummel hates us, but it's a tough ask for him to stay neutral when we are on the verge of beating his alma mater AT THEIR PLACE knocking them out of the #1 ranking after knocking them out of the #1 spot last season, too.
Hummel played for Purdue so there is no surprise on what he says during their games
Settles is an Iowa alum so shouldn't be a Terp homer. Now, if he comes right back to do color again for Sunday's game....
Hummel is one of the best analysts in college basketball today. I don't know what you guys are talking about . He is just more willing to be critical of players, coaches, and officials (i.e. honest) than other analysts who avoid making critical comments and are homers for the league that pays them to do games. You may not agree with how he saw a particular replay (which I often do) but I chalk it up more to me watching on a 60" TV and him looking at a monitor. Never sensed ANY homerism toward Purdue whatsoever.
It was clear in the post-game coverage that Hummel does NOT hate Rutgers. He's not at the Katz lovefest level, but he was very complimentary of our program. His only concern is our scoring but he said if we get in the mid 60s, it will be enough most nights because our defense is so elite.
I haven’t seen him at the golf course his normal 5 times a week. Makes me believe he is still working.
BTW, they said in the post-game that Hunmel is calling our game on Sunday.
Didn't they say on the post-game tonight that both Hummel and Katz will be in JMA for the Iowa game?
edit: yeah, what he said above!

When do the students return to campus? We definitely will need them for the Ohio State game? I doubt they will be back for Iowa but we need to keep playing every game with our normal intensity.
You read my mind!
I expect Andy Katz to be carried into the RAC like this on Sunday.
One guy who loved us when we stunk was bardo . Now we get good and he doesn’t seem to like us much.
The analysts all now realize that Rutgers is legit very good. They want to all get on record buying into it now before it's painfully obvious to everyone
Spring semester begins Tuesday Jan 17th, and the game is Sunday Jan 15th.
We're no longer the 'Little engine that could'. We're approaching top tier status in the conference now. This was a Midwest conference for 100 years. We are still outsiders
He's doing the Colorado State at Boise State game on the CBS Sports Network.
Bardo when asked how good Illinois was said, they may be good enough to challenge Rutgers for second best in the conference.
I don't think he hates us.
