Visual Distraction Marquette hoop

[Conndog]

When UConn was shooting FTs in 2nd half, a tall air-filled plastic tube that waves all over the place was being used by Marquette fans to distract UConn players. It’s one thing to have signs, but that thing crossed the line in my opinion. I think Hurley should have objected, and even if he didn’t, the refs should have intervened and had it removed.

Maybe they were doing it during Marquette's free throws too. Lol

I'm used to fans waving arms, signs, noodles, etc, but I've never seen anything like what the Marquette fans had yesterday. How were they even allowed to bring that into the arena?

We've never lost with that thing in play. I say adopt it and get one of our own.

I was going to say that they probably should have done it for Marquette's free throws.

Regardless of efficacy, absolutely bush league for Marquette to allow that (maybe 2) in the student section.

 

[Hunt for 7]

We made 79% of our free throws. I didn’t notice it but keep on doing it as far as I am concerned.

It was one of these things - I brought it up in the chat, they showed it during Reeds free throws. I’m all for it - it’s the kind of creativity that makes college hoops awesome.

There are some weak ass whiners in this thread.

Reminded me of this story.

It was a mechanical device and therefore should have been removed. Similar to why the crowd can't have air horns, strobe lights or laser pointers. If UConn complained about it, I could just hear comments from the outside. The league or better yet, Marquette should put an end to it quickly.
