1. Always has a stupid look on his face
2. A college senior that looks at his coach when a call doesn't go his way? Only baby high school players do that.
3. He flops constantly on offense
4. He is always tugging on his shorts.
5. He is from Missouri
6. He always has a stupid look on his face

I should like a guy that seems to work hard and play hard, but I've really grown to not like him. Kind of that Tebow effect where many of the announcers give him so much love it is annoying. Both Griffin brothers made him look weak and I think Cunningham for Nova is better as well.

Yes, a talented kid who works his butt off and stays out of trouble is one to be hating. Not to mention an All American who is actually going to GRADUATE from college...shocking concept for most starting NCAA mens basketball players.

You're exactly right. I should have mentioned I hated him for those things as well. Man, I just can't stand the fact he will graduate..ohhh that makes me so mad I can't even watch him. I guess it really doesn't have to do with the baby antics and the stupid face.

Is it just me, or does this guy not have any shoulders? I think my Grandma's shoulders are wider.

I don't like him either. He's the Tim Tebow of college basketball.

That nailed it. That is exacly the vibe I get from him but couldn't put my finger on.

I don't dislike him, but all of the records he's set this season are a function of the games played, rather than his outstanding level of talent. Most guys that played as well as him in seasons 1-3 left for the NBA. It's not that he's undeserving, but everyone else who had a shot cashed in. No question he's good, but his college records will in no way translate to the next level.

I can't stand Thabeet even more. To me, that guy is extremely over rated and will have a pro career like Shawn Bradley. When I've watched UConn games he gets his blocks which are good, but he doesn't play well against people that have some finesse. I could see anyone from Dwight Howard to Pau Gasol taking this guy to town.

He's also absolutely helpless when it comes to defending the pick and roll which is a death sentence in the NBA. He'll get exposed for the one-trick pony that he is when he steps foot on an NBA court.

I can't stand the kid. It's actually difficult for me to watch UNC play because of him. I'm sure he's a decent guy off the court but on the court he acts like a little suburban *****.

Go Michigan State.

Part of the whining you see probably comes from the fact that he plays for UNC....used to getting calls. Besides that, he does what everyone should want....stays for his 4 years, plays hard, ect.

Love is averaging 11 pts and 9 rebs and is a candidate for Rookie of the Year.

Love has proven to be better than I gave him credit for early in the year. He has tremendous rebounding instincts and the hands needed to secure the ball. Lots of guys can get in position to grab the ball only to fumble it, let it slip away, or have it stripped. Love might have the best hands in the game when it comes to latching onto the ball.
