Marcus Smart shoves a fan in game tonight.

[Hwy 1 2,053]

 

"In the waning moments of Oklahoma State's 65-61 loss at Texas Tech, Marcus Smart went flying into the stands after making a block that could have potentially kept the game alive.

An elderly fan in the crowd said or did something to Smart that caused him to lose control of his emotions, pushing the fan before yelling at anyone and everyone he could find."

It's wrong what he did... but it appears he was provoked from a fan that has issues...

 

Take a look at that same fan in the last replay here...  (30 seconds in)

Wow that sucks.  

[Hwy 1 2,053]

If you're a player you can't do that. The guy was very likely being a jerk but no excuse for Marcus. You gotta walk away.

It looks like the same fan. I noticed that the couple got out of the arena tonight before the game ended.

I'm siding with Smart. It's pretty clear to me (yeah, I'm heavily judging) from tonight and the A&M video that this guy is "that fan". 99% certain he deserved what Smart gave him and probably more. Smart obviously shouldn't have done what he did, but I can't say I would react any differently.

Honestly looks like an unfortunate situation for everyone.  Texas Tech should be embarrassed this fan is allowed to sit there and act the way he does.  From the looks of people around him, this wasn't a surprise for anybody.

Sometimes sports fans don't have a clue when to keep their dumb mouths shut. Smart was wrong for retaliating, but seemed like the fan was in the wrong too

He'll be serving a suspension. It's just a matter of how long it is

Definitely. And he deserves it. He was just in a bad position.

I bet the fan was asking for it. Marcus Smart shouldn't have done that, but I won't freak out about it.

Move on, learn from it.

Smart is really going to get it from opposing students the rest of the season.

[BlueDevil 8,797]

I feel bad for marcus cuz the dude is gonna get GRILLED. Can't say what I would have done in the heat of the moment but certainly he shouldn't have shoved the d bag.

[Hwy 1 2,053]

It doesn't matter how much the fan deserved it. You're a player you gotta walk away. They can kick the fan out of the place for causing trouble but you don't go after them. Stupid stupid stupid act on his part. That clown isn't worth what it just cost Marcus.

Texas Tech admin needs to look into these fans as well. If they were out of line, again. Then they need to take a hike!
