Any info re minor dustup at the end of last night's game?

[MTHusky]

Any more information available re the dustup during the handshake line. Geno seemed to believe that it involved a Creighton fan and who? Looked like Chris D was also involved.

I’m also curious. CD looked heated. The announcers only briefly commented on it; I don’t think they saw it either.

In one clip, it shows Jamelle shadowing Geno, and CD was having an intense but agreeable discussion with one of CU's staff (no idea who). There was some agreement nodding that perhaps it wasn't anyone with the team. Our coaching staff has always stood up for the team, and I have a vague memory of Geno saying something like, go after me, it's good, but don't go after my team.

The unruly fan in question was supposedly seen being escorted out by police. No big deal. There are always jerks at every game.

Geno discusses it a little bit in this post game interview. Also note the Hovering Jamelle

 

[TheGOAT23]

Idiota! Can’t enjoy ourselves without any nonsense. There always has to be at least one.

 

[Bone Dog]

I noticed that Jamelle seemed keen on keeping Geno from returning to the incident. And CD made a beeline for Caroline afterwards to give her a big hug. More tea leaves to sift.

Ok, while at the game and on that side of the facility, the "Creighton faithful seating of fans" was the reason for the ruckus. Evidently some of these fans-family of current players, admins or key boosters/donators had some unkind words about our players they directed to Geno so he, rightfully got peeved. As this was about "Creighton fans who got the tickets complimentary" (as all visiting teams get), that's why CD had a "discussion" with Assistant coach Jordann Reese and why Reese was politely nodding her head.

It seemed weird to me they would target our players. Yell at the refs if your unhappy about the way the game went. Why be mad at the players?

Cowards love to target the younger/smaller/etc. Betting that this person would not dare go after Geno, CD, etc. IMHO.

Even if you thought the officiating sucked, the team had a chance to tie the game and force overtime. The refs ultimately gave them the final say on the outcome.

I have a feeling that the perps won't be allowed back next year if they are or their child is part of Creighton's team next year.

Caroline was clearly fouled on the follow-thru. Not sure what the fan was upset about. Then, the refs called the foul on AE to "even" things out on the other end.

One of the first things you learned in college basketball was to never interact with anyone off the court, especially with someone who is reacting in a negative or profane way, since it would usually escalate the situation. When you found it tempting as a coach to respond , I always tried to remember my Father’s advice from many moons ago: “never argue with a fool because the bystanders may not know which one is which”. As you grew older and hopefully more mature, you realized his was wise advice. JMO

They should deploy a crane hook from the ceiling for times like this. Use it for halftime entertainment.

Fan ex machina if you will.

Except that they were both pretty clearly legitimate fouls, you can’t impede a shooters hand and you can’t knock down a player driving to the basket from behind.

These cowards would regret for rest of their lives the mistake they made coming near or onto the court as the game ended, as they confronted AE and Nika.
