On the Men’s analyst”s attire, Greg Gumbel improved s bit over last night’s green tie debacle. Tonight it was the typical dark blue suit with the white shirt but the purple striped tie and Purple pocket square were an improvement. It looks like Clark  Kellogg and Kenny Smith are competing for the best dressed over last Year’s winer Charles Barkley, who is slipping this year. Clark Kellogg was wearing a dark charcoal grey suit with a predominantly blue with red and white pattern with a red pocket square and a blue checked on white shirt. Charles Barkley donned a blue suit, blue check on white shirt with a solid medium blue tie, not his best. Hands down Kenny Smith took tonight’s fashion winner with a light tan suit, black and white striped shirt, black tie and a matching pocket square, a real standout.
