There are just three more games before the end of the college basketball season, and with it the annual crossover between the CBS NCAA and the TNT NBA studio teams will also conclude.
On Thursday, CBS college basketball analyst Clark Kellogg joined Dukes & Bell on 92.9 The Game in Atlanta live from radio row at the Final Four in Houston, and Kellogg said the busy TV schedule comes with the territory.
“It just happens to be that’s the way it unfolds during this time of year with Warner Bros. Discovery and CBS being partners since 2011 for the tourney,” Kellogg said. “I’m grateful to have a chance to sit where God has graced me to sit and be part of a sporting event that’s as special as we have on the sports calendar.”
The yearly meeting of the basketball personalities always makes for some entertaining studio segments with Kellogg and the TNT NBA studio guys. Co-host Mike Bell told Kellogg he stands out among guys like Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley.
“I always get the impression when I watch that it’s like high school. And you’re in a room, and you’re like the valedictorian of your class and you got the two delinquents with Kenny and Charles,” Bell said.
“I’ve never heard it quite described that way,” Kellogg responded laughing. Clark said it’s all love when everyone is together.
“It’s obvious that we have a great time,” he said. “There’s mutual respect across the board with us on the air.”
“It’s as fun as it appears to be and even more so when we’re not on camera because we’re talking hoops and busting each others chops and having a great time,” Kellogg added.
