College Bball Thread

I like the Lickliter hire. He's not a "splash" like Walter but he's probably a better X's and O's kind of guy. Keep him a few years and let him build with the players that knew him. 

Agree, he’s a great choice to try and provide some stability

Dickie V just said on ESPN that he would be shocked if DeSousa ever puts on a college jersey ever again. Don’t often agree with Dukie V much anymore these days, but in this case he’s right. It’s a privilege to play college athletics, and no matter how emotional the game gets, that kind of behavior is not acceptable. I think #33 should be done too. Not as noticeable, but you can see him trying to stomp on a guy on the ground back against the wall at one point. Classless. Kansas’ program has a stench about it, and I think it starts from the top down.  

Edit: #33 is David McCormack

The game of college basketball or any sport can get emotional and irrational actions occur.  However, if it runs through your mind to pick up a chair to hurt someone there is no place in the college game for you.  Kansas has been a dirty program for decades and they've mostly gotten away with it recently.  I hope that program burns.

Wowww. Just watched the whole Kansas brawl posted on ESPN. If Bill Self doesn’t suspend DeSousa and whoever #33 is for the rest of the season, the Kansas fans should call for him to be fired. Honestly, if they are representing your university and/or your alma mater across their chest acting like that... nope. If a coach lets them back on the team I wouldn’t want any part of supporting that team. 

I visited a couple of Kansas boards and they seem intent on blaming Kansas State somehow.

Idiots.

Kansas is such a weird program. Their fans think they somehow own the rights to the game of basketball.

I have a good friend who lives in Lawrence and he says everyone knows the program is rotten and the players are really living the life over there, but that the fans just knowingly live in denial.

I like how number 5 for Kansas starts to run to the pile then all of a sudden stops. Do you think the thought came through his head that, hey let them fight I might get some minutes.

KState player had every right to steal it. Kansas should have just let them score unless they had bets on the game.

KState is fine to keep playing but Kansas needs to stop after the steal? Okay sure, that makes sense. 

 

Just let the kid dribble the clock out like any normal player does in that scenario.

this is hilarious

You’re up 22. If that kid wants to go score and make it 20 then so be it. Kansas player just got mad the kid stole it. NBA players are the same way. Get all pissy about crap like that. Things that won’t change the game.

My view is to never penalize hustle, regardless of score or situation.  Play the game until the end.  I understand these unwritten "rules" about playing it out, but the Kansas State player was in the right to hustle and make the steal. The Kansas player was in the right to hustle and block the layup.  The Kansas player standing over him after the block was the ridiculous part and started the whole mess.  He was obviously ticked that the KState player didn't quit.

Sure he shouldn't of done it. But it shouldn't had led to the taunting or the melee.

1) The steal: not smart, but not as egregious as its made out to be (worse if you are winning and you try to score) 2) The block, absolutely okay, great play and evened out the "disrespect" of the steal 3) Standing over the guy, which is universally a sign of disrespect and dominance over someone...not okay, and escalated the situation. 

You felt disrespected, you got the block, great. Move on...I personally think this is partially on the refs/NCAA letting celebrations get a little out of hand. I understand you want to play with passion, but the flexing after scoring, putting your hand down to the ground signify someone is too small to guard you in the post, etc. all adds to fires like this. Maybe I am old haha. 

All around a sad scene.

How is f-Ing Purdue #27 in Kenpom @ 10-9 overall and only one top 25 win at Mich State and a lot of pretty bad losses. Something smells fishy. Next team with 9 losses is #64 Iowa St.

[323SGrant]

I live in Evansville. That is one of the many rumors. I've heard that and I've also heard nasty screen shots of messages have been going around of coach. Bottom line is he put himself in a situation and was warned. University had no choice. IU is always my #1 team but the Aces have been right behind for years. This is really dissapointing and a major blow to the city. I went to a majority of the home games this year. The crowds were the best they have been in over 20 years. The city backed this team. Walter was the right guy for the program. They got a little more hype than they should have because they beat Kentucky. They weren't an NCAA Tournament team just yet but they were close. Now, they will most likely start all over unless they hire someone the players would all love. 

That’s a shame. I was hoping McCarty would turn things around for U of E.
