WVU Player Altercation With Texas Tech Fan

[douggie]

I predicted something like this would eventually happen storming the court. They're lucky it didn't escalate and someone get seriously injured.

 

[antone112]

Well all the player has to do is claim the fan said THE WORD. And he'll be ok.

 

[GoldRusher]

Should have punched an official FTR...

 

[ralphiewvu]

Feisty

 

[jontaejones]

Better view.

Kid should be suspended for the year at the very least.

That's really not a joke. A kid the size of a DI forward playing for a thug program like WVU punching some Computer Science freshman is like almost the equivalent of a guy punching a woman.

Crap like that reminds of like DeMarcus Cousins trying to intimidate a 5'6" 62 year old reporter. Despicable.

I mean seriously, if that was Jalen Brunson, I would be screaming for Coach Wright to suspend him.

This once again will bring up the debate about court/field storming from the talking heads, or in Stephen A Smith's case, screaming heads.

 

[PEOPLESCHICKEN]

KONATE looks like he swung and missed badly

WVU is a thug program? C'mon really?

Storm the court, put yourself in danger. Actions have consequences, so if you don’t want to get hit, keep your ass on the sideline

Well, it wasn't meant to be as derogatory as you think. WVU almost always has one of the best defenses in the country. Huggins has to recruit guys who are raw, athletic, strong and to be quite honest a little dirty. That's just the way that program thrives.

The point is those are mean dudes on Huggin's sideline.

Gotcha

 

[jontaejones]

Court storming has been going on for decades and is part of the fabric of college basketball.

Gee look at that...

Ohh go fuck yourself. 1/2 the “thugs” in this country come from Philadelphia anyway. An just because Jay Wright is too much of a pussy to recruit physical strength doesn’t mean WVU is a thug program. But then again no one really respects the elitist mindset you just showed anyway.

Take it easy dude.

It's just a sports forum. No need to get personal. It's just an opinion.

Ohh give me a break. You see a team full of tall black physical players and immediately call them thugs. It’s people like you that truely have no clue and are still stuck in the old mindset of race. Guess it’s not really shocking coming from a Nova fan anyway.

An for the record both Harris and Konate deserve to be kicked off the team for that.

It's pretty impossible to be a Villanova fan or any kind of basketball fan for that matter and be racist against tall black players.

And yes, Huggins players are thugs. We played against them a bunch in the old Big East. They trap and then hack the hell out of you.

ok? that doesn't make a team "thugs", it makes them "tough", big difference.

 

[jontaejones]

No, not tough. Our players are tough. Their players are hacks.

If you like that word better, go with that.

 

[Ojb81]

If you like that word better, go with that.

believe it or not, skippy, multiple players from multiple teams, can be tough. no one team or coach has the market cornered on "toughness". but yeah, you go ahead and let this incident dictate your opinion of how "thuggish" WVU basketball is.

 

[jontaejones]

Ok. Apparently the word 'thug' has some racist connotations.

I actually didn't even notice until halfway through replying to these comments and there's been some comments from some people who don't even regularly post in CBB, so...

Rest assured, I didn't mean it as such. A thug is somebody who is physical and roughs people up. I don't see how race comes into it.

In any case, for anybody who is level headed, I apologize for my comments. I'll file it away in my head not to use that term again.

For anybody who wants to just keep talking crap, I won't engage. Thanks.
