Because OM is a better defensive team than we are. That's why the fouls on the OM end are killing us. They are a much better defensive team than offensive team but getting free points on bogus fouls while we are getting nothing called on the other end.

We just aren?t that good. NIL is bringing the SEC and Big Ten up. The big 12 and ACC are slowly losing their basketball reputation because of it. It hurts us because our NIL is more along the lines in those conferences.

I accused him of "trying" to be the hero at end of regulation! Turns out he WAS the hero in overtime.

That was a stressful ass game! I was pissed that we let the lead get away but I was also proud that we stuck together and found a way to win in OT. Thank God for Kugel and Murphy, Hubbard is in a huge slump, we need Clary back. Not sure we win this game without Kugel

Glad to get the win but we got lots of issues to clean up.
Hubbard, a point guard, guarding 3, etc.
We had great passing and movement early in year but we've lost it now. Hub needs coaching and counseling.,
Kugel, RJ, Cam and Murphy must be on the floor as much as possible. Harris, Hub, Jones, Nwoko for the rest.

Not sure this team has the nuts nor offensive ability to make a run in the tourney but that was an awesome game. Shouldve been a loss just so Jans would have to make some changes. I hope he never goes full retard again.

Kugel is one of the most talented guys in the league. We have to live with the occasional bad shot.
Here's a combo I would like to see: Harris, Kugel, RJ, Cam, Murphy.

It is not a slump anymore. This is who Hubbard is now. He is holding this team back. The roster was constructed around him being a guy who can get a bucket whenever. He is not able to get shots off anymore. Too small.

Very true, in some games Jans would get pissed at him and make him sit but Jans needs to give Kugel the same leash he gives Hubbard.
Yes, that's currently our best 5 and should see the bulk of minutes

Yep. Last 12+ minutes he took 2 weak ass shots in the paint and missed both. And he doesn’t even distribute the ball on the offensive end. We are getting absolutely NOTHING from whatever the hell position he is playing.

At this point I think it's safe to say he is not hurt. Guy had issues at PSU so it wouldn't surprise me if there is something similar going on.

I can't argue with you because Hubbard hasn't shown me anything as of late to say you are wrong. But I still think he will get out of this slump, he is too good of a shooter to not, but I could be wrong.

Hubbard was ok playing the PG in spots but playing it f/t is obviously affecting his game. I'm guessing he isn't happy playing it f/t either. Warren isn't the answer and I think it's safe to say Clary won't be back. It's an issue for sure and unfortunately there aren't any answers. Harris is not a great ball handler either.

If Hubbard wants to play professionally he has to be ok playing PG, he doesn't have a choice because of his sizs.

Just got in from The Hump. It was a great atmosphere and great win. If we didn't get Kugel back we lose that game. Also, Murphy had some boneheaded stuff early and I questioned Jan's sticking with him so long but it paid off.

I don't think Hubbard will ever play in the NBA full time. He is like Daryl Wilson in that he can be a really good college player but is too undersized for the NBA. Doesn't mean he can't make a lot of money playing overseas though.

Hubb can make a lot of money playing college the next 2 years and he will. then he can have a good life overseas. also comes from a good family that has money. Everyone needs to stay positive on Hubb. He is a big key to the season. But this is Cam's team and Kugel is the true wild card.

We had some really bonehead plays in that game. The attempted touchdown pass up 4 in regulation with just over a minute to go was terrible, the pass behind Melendez after the overturned review was bad and then the intentional foul on Jones was the worst of all. That is about the only thing that could have given OM a chance. Between those things and the screw job by the SEC refs that we got today its a miracle we won. I still can't believe they came back 10 mins later and took 2 points away from us when it was very questionable saying the ball was in the cylinder when Murphy touched it yet there was no question it was in the cylinder when the Rebs touched it.

We've got to figure out how to run plays on offense. Stupid turnovers turned a 20+ blowout into an OT sweat fest.

Hopefully Hubb gets his mojo back. We REALLY need his offense. And its definitely become a mental thing now. When he is starting to struggle even making his free throws then you know he is losing his confidence.

Hubbard is constantly trying to get fouled or trying to act like he was fouled. He's thinking too much about that instead of playing basketball

Opponents have Hubbard figured out. Put a 6'3-6'4 guard on him and don't let him shoot. But he IS a shooter, not a true dribble driver who can create a shot in the lane. Jans needs to watch film from how Williams used Darryl Wilson. He ran him around and along the baseline and back to a wing behind a 6'7" screener where he had wide open 3. So it has to be set plays. Jones, Melendez, Harris, and Kugel can create their own 3 point space. Stan's did the same thing for Frazier, but Frazier could also get his own space. Zimmerman and Bowers could jump out of the gym so they could create space even when closely guarded.

We run that look a ton, sometimes for Hubbard. Just don't hit the open 3 well enough. We're so close to being an unstoppable team if we could hit the 3 at a 5 to 10% higher clip.

That's the good news is a way because you know it's a matter of time before he breaks out of his slump.
I think a lot of the stupid things we did was MSU just trying to do too much. Ole Miss was hot and we were coming in on a two game losing streak and I think it just made everything bigger for our guys and it was really a recipe for pressing too much.

Z and Bowers were like 5" taller than Hub too. Early in year Hub was driving and shooting adn dishing now he isn't.

At least we had a defender in his face on that one. It's all the totally uncontested 3s we give up that is the big problem. We have a really solid team, but the two real liabilities with this team are perimeter defense and free throw shooting. When Matthews or Murray go to the free throw line, it's not much better than a turnover.
