Wasn't Hubert on the court in the Meadowlands when Zo, Deke, and company put an ass stomping on the Heels in ACC/BE Challenge? Maybe he has nightmares of Georgetown stomping him--or maybe he lost a lot of money betting on them in '07, either way, I could give a rip about who loves/likes/hates Georgetown.
Hatred is often about "fear"--and being a Hoya fan--you LOVE when the Hoyas are HATED! Nothing better!

For God's sake, stop acting like a bunch of teenage girls. "Wah, Wah, Wah Hubert Davis doesn't like us?!?!"
For those of you who cant take the time to think these things through, here's how this "injustice" happened:
- Hubert is assigned by ESPN to be the "Marquette guy" today, since they were broadcasting 4 games in primetime; - 30 minutes before our game ended, we were in a one point game. "OK, everybody be ready to talk as though 'your team' won"; - We blow MU out of the game down the stretch - now HD, who has only prepared statements for MU, has to tailor his comments to a blowout; - Its easier for HD to say "I still like this team, here's why"
Now just go suck your thumbs and stop acting like ESPN is out to get us.

I had a good laugh when the female bartender at Clydes, where we were watching the game, confused Sean McDonough with Scott Hamilton (ice skater).

Last week, Hubert picked UNC to beat Duke at Cameron. Um, yeah.
As for ESPN, their negativity towards both the Hoyas and NY sports makes them pretty unbearable at times. Just about everyone's got an agenda there. And I agree with previous posters: the two most rational and unbiased guys they have are Bilas and Raftery. Hands down.

He just picked us to win tonight. He also said we will make a great run in NCAA tournament and we could possibly win the national championship.

I'm watching SportsCenter this morning and Hubert Davis is giving commentary. He just picked us to win the BET and also said that we have a legit shot at winning the championship...
Either we were quick to judge him or he is intimidated by our judging posts haha

It's all moot if we don't win tonight.

It's not paranoia if they are really out to get us. For all of those who see assassins hiding under ever rock--"lighten up Frances!" All of our bias aside, there must be many viewers throughout the country who are damn tired of all the ass licking that Monroe is receiving. Yes he is playing well, but he is far from the "second coming" and I don't yet think that he is a sure thing as a dominant force in the pros. Meanwhile, let's just enjoy the ride and when Gtown plays well, there is plenty of praise to go around from a variety of media sources. Would have been interesting to hear Digger's comments if Gtown was facing ND

Easyed has it exactly right. But I think the team knows that. They have been VERY professional and focused this week. They need to keep it that way for one more night.
Personally, I have a good feeling about this game.

Give Hubert a break...it seems like his role during the halftime/post game shows is to give the losing team props. Last year, Hubert said on multiple occasions that we were capable of being a National Championship team, even after we had taken some bad L's. For a while, he was what Digger is now. He also was the one pointing out earlier this year that we were most effective when we put Greg in the middle of the Cuse zone and attacked inside out, all of which, he received much praise for on this board when everyone was bashing JTIII's lack of a game plan. He said this again before the Cuse win (that so long as we attack we have a very real shot at winning), and hell, it happened. Most of what he says is fair, cut him some slack.

This has to qualify as one of the dumbest threads I've ever read on this board. Had to be started by someone who either a) doesn't watch much basketball or b) has a 1-year memory. If you go back to the year we made the final four, Hubert was the first one on the bandwagon leading the charge for the Hoyas. I'd love to say bad things about him or his comments given I dislike the Tarheels more than most having grown up in that area of the country.

He obviously reads this board and was intimidated into picking him by the posters He was easily intimidated when he played for the Knicks as a player. I always though he looked like he was deer in the headlights on the Knicks.

Yeah i was annoyed at Hubert last night. Clearly what happened was he picked marquette at the begining of the game and only prepared material on Marquette so had nothing to say about us because he couldn't think on his feet so went with what he prepared. Not a huge deal just annoying.
