Week 3: Other Games

[MilliniumPrince]

So bad, the game thread on their site was up to 43 pages. They closed it to futher comments then deleted it entirely.

Apparently, King Picker was upset the Bryant players were too slow to greet him and his band of basketball heroes in the handshake line. He said something to a player or two and it went downhill from there.

This thread title is HOF worthy. I hope he coaches Sara for another 20 years.

Jim Boeheim probably had something to say about this fracas:

I loved how the white guy on Bryant did that slap on the head and then just ran away. That is kind of weak if you run after doing that.

I love seeing Syracuse lose but Jared Grosso is about as unlikable a guy as there is in college basketball.

He’s a dirtball.

Today he was my dirtball did you see him making the talking hand gesture at end of game, priceless ( classless too, but hey it was a good day)

 

[Doctor Hoop]

Why?

Because it happened?

wow that was a weak move right there. Glad they ejected him. No place for that. That is how you end up with a brawl that gets a bunch of players on both teams either hurt or in serious trouble. Good poise I have to say for the Cuse player not to immediately react to that with retaliatory violence.

Why do we need to recall it?

Mintz for Syracuse slapped Edert for Bryant first. Both were ejected

I didn't see that part. But, you're still better to walk away. If you're second guy into the scrum and get rung up for it it doesn't matter that you were right and protecting your teammates.

Actually I just watched it again and forget everything I said.

Yeah Mintz is a chode for slapping him first and acting like he didn’t do anything. What’s Edert supposed to do with a 7 footer running after him? He didn’t pick a fight with his teammate.

 

[WhereistheDove?]

How times have changed from the depths of the Ollie darkness when Cuse fans were dancing on our grave.

“Nope, the brand is gone. It was teetering during the bubble years. Now we are completely irrelevant on a national stage.

Want proof? There’s 16 Nike schools that are in Portland playing in a tournament to honor Phil Knight. We weren’t even considered when they formed the tournament.”

My favorite quote tonight. It honestly never occurred to me Cuse could be in this tournament….

I didn't notice the first slap until I watched it a third time. Edert should have been the one to walk away there but he was right to be angry. I missed that and I retract my initial stupid posts.

I’ll repeat what I said after the loss to Colgate. If Jim Boeheim was still alive today, he would not stand for Syracuse playing like this.

 

[karstenkibbe]

Because it happened?

I’ll tell you what happened. I started singing. Again. It plays on a loop in my head. Every time Cuse plays. Every. Time. It’s ok. You can sing too.

You did see the Cuse player with the initial slap?

I did not initially no. I already fell on my sword on this one. Scroll up.

The most underrated JB pic

Especially when one juxtaposes him next to JC

 

[Austin316]

So you are saying that not only does Syracuse suck, but they are punks too? I can go along with that.

Yup! I find it hysterical how the Bryant player ran off so fast too.

Fun note: the kid that slapped back was the dude with the mustache on St. Peter’s last year that went on the Cinderella run.

Not the first time that Boeheim and Grasso have had words for one another. I like that Grasso isn't taking any of JB's ish.

Bryant coach rips Jim Boeheim for COVID-19 scheduling complaint

Syracuse barely survived an upset loss to Bryant on Friday night in a game coach Jim Boeheim said should never have been played, which drew a sharp response from his counterpart Jared Grasso. Syrac…

Is it really a buy game when the opposition has more talent than you?
