People just don't remember all the nights we spent watching that stupid flex action for 25 seconds followed by desperation to beat the shot clock.
Hubbs is a good player when he wants to be.
He is one of the easiest players to shut down. No jump shot, limited ability to handle the basketball, and soft. Keep him out of the paint and he's a non factor
Which is all it is.. History. Time to start supporting the current team and staff. We play 7 freshmen and lead with a junior and senior. People, this team is exactly like Barnes' Clemson team. Undersized, went NIT first year and then went to the NCAA tournament 3 years straight.I remember the best 6 year run in Tennessee basketball history.
BS. Florida is a good defensive team when they want to be.
Hubbs and Mostella were being swarmed in this game. White's defensive plan included not letting Hubbs and Stella beat them. why do you think Admiral had the game of his career. If he hadn't shown up we'd have been beaten by 30 points.
BS again. Barnes has said he's worked harder this season than any in his career.You are right... He is a shining example of how everyone should play. Of course Florida is a good team and played good defense, but we are talking about a Senior. He plays soft... He is a huge letdown. He has all the physical tools it just appears as though he doesn't have the drive.

Evidently you don't accept his post game comments where he said Hubbs and Mostella both have targets on their backs.
Hell. Tobias Harris was a 5 star NBA player and had games where he scored 5 points. Would you call him soft?
Hubbs has had 3 games where he didn't score in double figures.
he has 71 rebounds, 22 assists, 4 blocks and 16 steals in 15 games.
That not the stat sheet of a slacker.
I support this team. I don't try and rewrite the past in regards to our greatest basketball coach though.
If that were the case he wouldn't be playing. Barnes told him at the beginning of the season the team wouldn't be waiting on him.
No need to make sh## up to support your false claims.
We have 11 players who get substantial minutes, and there's a book on every one of them now. They've all had stellar moments, and every one has had bad stretches. They may not be consistent, but not one of them is consistently bad. We've had 8 different individual game scoring leaders. Pick a player to hate on and he's liable to make you look bad the very next game.
Ah well, haters gonna hate regardless.
My bet is Robert never plays basketball again after he's gone. Hope I'm wrong. I don't think he even likes playing bb.
Haven't heard Barnes say one bad thing about him this season in post game.
Why is that?

Because he knows the potential and doesn't want to break his already wavering confidence? Hubbs seems like he wouldn't respond to tough love/coaching as well as some other guys, and that's ok-everyone has their own personality, but when he's on the court he needs to ball out.
Just use your eyes man. You honestly haven't seen it??? Multiple other posters have mentioned his lack of drive or whatnot, so it's not just me. I'm not trying to bash the kid, I just know he could be much better.
No one was rode harder or criticized more by Barnes in post game last season. Not so this season.
Is he a 5 star? No
Does he deserve to be constantly dissed by surf by posters on this board?
