Hubert Davis is an idiot

The Badgers are just terrible today, soI need to take my frustration out on someone. Today that someone is ESPN Basketball Idiot, Hubert Davis.

You might remember Davis from his less-than-mediocre career in the NBA which was punctuated by him not getting fouled by Scottie Pippen in game 5 of the 1994 NBA Eastern Conference Semis. More recently Davis has replaced Doug Gottlieb riding shotgun on the ESPN Hoops Short Bus.

As of last week Davis did not have Wisconsin in his top 16.

Today at halftime he said that Wisconsin will not go far because "they struggle to score 50 points."

Fine Hubert, but I call "Bullshit" here.

So I took the liberty of checking out the results from the season. You can check it out here

According to Hubert the Badgers struggle to score 50 points. Of course, they struggle to score 50 points so much, that they did not, once all year score less than 55 points (their lowest was 56 at Purdue) In fact, the Badgers scored less than 60 only 4 times all season- 2 in losses to Purdue (56) and Duke(58) and then wins at OSU (58) and MSU (57). Of course, in those two games OSU scored 53 and MSU put up a 42 spot on the Badgers.

In Wisconsin's signature win over the season against Texas the Badgers, without their PG, scored 67.

What gets me about Davis' stupidity is what drives me crazy about the stupidity of a lot of commentators out there who think that good offense means tons of points. Anyone who feints attention at tempo-free statistics knows that Wisconsin's offense this year has been incredibly effective.

I've always suspected that Hubert Davis does not know what he is talking about, today he just proved it.
