The last 2 homes games have been absolute beat downs. It's time for you to cuss in a mirror.
Agreed, losing is one thing but we've had some home blow out losses and that is concerning
But don?t forget we beat Auburn and Tennessee last year!!
Hoping we are one of those teams that finds it towards the end of the year and come together at the right time but right now we do not even look like a tourney team.
First 15 games we looked like one of the best teams in the country. Starting with the UK loss, in which we actually outplayed them and should have won, it felt like it broke the confidence and chemistry we had been playing with up to that point.
Hubbard has not been who he was supposed to be this year and it has really hurt us especially considering Jans built this roster around him being that guy. Hubbard is kind of a liability honestly.
And Melendez, Kugel, Harris and a horrendous Cam are in really bad funks right now.
I think we have the ability to get it all back together and there is still time in the season but it has to start coming soon.
I see one of two things happening. We get a big win soon and start to build some momentum back heading into SECT and NCAA or we completely implode and lose the next 4, which is very possible. Good chance we are underdogs in next 4.
The last 5 games Hubb has been the only player worth a crap. Every other player has disappeared/ Something else is going on that Jans needs to stamp out. The team has quit playing like a team and playing like butthurt junior high kids who are pissed they don't get the ball enough.Quote:

But he's far from a liability. We don't magically become better when he is on the bench.Quote:

Start Hubbard, Harris, Kugel, Murphy, and Nwoko from here on out. Melendez and Matthews have given us just about nothing the last 5-7 games. At least I know that spreads the floor with 4 guys who are actually a threat to make a jumpshot.Quote:

In the end it all falls in the lap of the $4,000,000 man.
I have no clue why we are doubling the post every time. It serves zero purpose because all they are doing is getting their shooters to relocate for wide open shots.Quote:

I've seen several posters defend Jan's coaching performance this year when criticized w/ those very games from last year like that makes a difference.Quote:

Meanwhile the announcers in last nights game were on repeat saying how he could take over any team and make them competitive day 1. I tend to agree but he certainly has flaws that are almost as detrimental. Non-existent 3pt D and poor FT shooting being at the top.
Murphy has been our only consistent player on offense and rebounding when it counts. Hubbard gets his average in many games on volume shooting( 5 of 15 last night and similar to other games this year), and when game is out of reach (last night) and is a liability on our switching offense. You can't change 5'11" in the loaded SEC. It's getting hard to watch.Quote:

You must not go to our home games. Hubbard is introduced as 5'11", Elevator Shoes?****Quote:
