Marcus Smart shoves a fan in game tonight.

[Hwy 1 2,053]

I wouldn't be surprised if the fan files assault charges over it. Marcus isn't winning that one.

I know nothing about lawsuits or law period, but what if witnesses say that the guy provoked Smart by saying something (quite possibly racist)? There were plenty of witnesses around.

I think the dudes name is Jeff Orr a super fan of Texas tech bball

Texas Tech has super fans?

 

Marcus, Marcus, Marcus, I don't care if you were provoked you cannot shove fans.

Just read something that said directly after the incident, OSU radio commentators heard Smart telling coaches that the guy said THE word. Doesn't surprise me (which is awful, right?) and I can't identify with Smart's position, but I don't blame him, honestly.

Some fans just take stuff too far.

If we're having a discussion about Crean being on the hot seat, then Ford should definitely be in that discussion too. Went out in the first round last year with a stacked team. Now seems to be losing his team and on the verge of dropping to a low seed in tournament. Smart is still a solid player and I think it was all out of frustration. He'll fix his attitude.

CBS just announced that Okie State will have a presser at 6(?) to announce his punishment.

I wonder how many games he'll get.

He still has to put himself above it, even if the fan did say that word.

 

The fan shouldn't have said it, but a lot of people misinterpret the freedom of speech.  It does not mean you can say anything you want, the first amendment just protects you from the government placing constraints on how you express yourself.

Was curious about OSU remaining schedule. With 8 games left, I would expect a multiple game suspension. Suppose he misses 3 games, he would be back for the home game against Texas Tech. Bet that doesn't happen.

Oklahoma State says it will hold a 5 p.m. CT press conference. AD Mike Holder, Travis Ford and Marcus Smart will speak to the media.

 

 

Surprised Smart is going to speak. I'm guessing they prepared a major pr speech for him...

I'm glad he's speaking. It was his actions so he needs to speak. I don't think anyone in America blames him for what he did... He pushed a guy... He didn't punch/stab/shoot someone. He pushed a guy for talking.

He made a mistake, but let's not get carried away and call this Artest or anything else. If he really wanted to, that guy could have been destroyed with a Right Cross... That fan got away lucky

It's precedent setting. They need to make it clear this will not be tolerated. Yeah, he just poked a guy in the chest who most likely deserved it. That doesn't matter. The NCAA can not afford having athletes going into the stands and hitting fans.

ESPN saying it will be 3 games
