Surprised to see @approxinfinity such a fan of storming.
Just set a countdown clock at 45 seconds or something. Let the players get off the court. I don’t care if Filipowski or Caitlin faked whatever, they should be able to exit the court to the locker room or the handshake line without some idiot with their phone out smashing into them. Clearly a guy ran directly over to Filipowski to slap him on the back after he’d been caught up in the mob. Probably said, “Good game, Luv Ya” or something.
Maybe I’m still pissed at Traylor getting body checked and the dejected look on his face when he knew he’d end up in prison if he retaliated against that asshat KSU fan. The players are especially defenseless now with the NIL stuff. Fans are not supposed to be on the court.
I was also at the KU-Tennessee game in Knoxville where the walk-ons beat #1 KU in jan, 2010. I felt like they deserved the court storming, but it was still an ugly environment. Luckily it was an early Sunday afternoon game and the fans were only drunk from the night before.
-
Court storming is banned in the SEC. Really has done a bang up job of stopping it.
-
Let’s get back to the other games like the thread is labeled, we all have our opinions on this matter. KSUCK blows a 25 point lead to WVU gets bailed out by a foul call late and fouls the hell outta WVU’s last shot attempt. Then prevails for the 12 consecutive time in OT. In doing so they set a record for most OT games in a season with 7. Crazy to think how lucky they are, an eye lash from being 10-18.
-
@DanR Color me surprised!
My wife and I were at that Tennessee game and I have never seen opposing fans treat visitors better than we experienced. A few guys ran by us cheering as we walked away from the arena, and they saw our shirts. They stopped, and said “Oh, sorry!” We said, “Enjoy it! You deserve to cheer.” They thanked us and ran away laughing.
I don’t know what you saw, but we were at the very top row behind at one end, so if anything happened down where binoculars weren’t needed we might have missed it.
Was there a court storming way down there?
-
Good way to end court storming: Forfeit next game.
-
@DanR Jamari could’ve killed that punk! Coach was pressed into the scorers table. Bruce saved him.
it was scary. KT had someone by the throat. That punk was a celeb for a year.

Probably can’t forfeit the game, but maybe forfeit the next win? Tickets for the game are sold and TV contracts are signed, so the next game must be played. And forfeiting the game/win punishes the team, who didn’t do anything wrong; all they did was win a big game. Fan behavior, like public behavior in general must improve. So, I guess the solution is to arrest the fans for tresspassing, or at least as many as may be detained. A couple of videos showing trespassing fans in cuffs likely changes most of the bad behavior.
-
K?Stat about wet the bed last night, so dam lucky- -I mean they get out scored 31-7 in the last 10 1/2 minutes of regulation. They get lucky as I don’t think they een realized or was going to try to foul one of Wv worst free throw shooters at this particular point - -then aftr that Wv’s guy got mugged next time down and yet --NOTHING
-
Here a few thoughts about court storming and how to stop it. The next game, students are not allowed to attend. Any student that touches an opposing team player is banned from attending all sports games for a year from the incident. The next game that they lose on their own court, they must watch as the opposing team and its fans storm the court and celebrate.
-
In conference it could be easy to stop - you lose the return game - ie since KSU stormed the court against KU this year, next year KU gets two home games against KSU.
Personally I don’t get offended by it. Quite the opposite, I feel it’s a sign of respect when they storm the court after beating KU, they expected to lose or they wouldn’t act a fool. Also after years of frustration it’s cool to see students rejoice in the victory. I do think there needs to be some basic safety measures installed though. Give the players a chance to exit the playing field first namely.
-
Was not surprised to see who set off the circus at the Texas/TTech game last night. Cunningham just plays so close to the line at all times that it’s never a surprise when he goes way over it
-
It’s true. That said, his energy and passion are infectious. I wouldn’t mind having him on our team this year. Reminds me a bit of the way CB played.
-
That was a dirty ass hit by Cunningham and the officials did a great job to control the situation. He looked right at and then lowered his shoulder. 9/10 that’s a full blown brawl between two teams.
-
Kyle will play tonight! I for one will now exhale.
-
@approxinfinity amazing!
-
@approxinfinity He wasn’t ever hurt just milking it
-
@approxinfinity right up there in the Kirk Gibson/Willis Reed pantheon. Absolutely inspiring.
-
So thrilled he was able to give it a go under such duress conditions
-
@FarmerJayhawk I bet the bloody sock ends up in the Duke hall of fame! (Curt Schilling reference for ya)
-
Man , BYU was down by 17 in the 1st half at home against TCU - - now BYU up 13 points with 2:20 left in the game. bour ready to take their record to 21-8
-
@jayballer67 BYU is a solid team that can beat anyone when they are hitting. The key against them is hold the ball and keep them from running.

ya they make sure to get you spread out, lot of decent shooters, and work the ball as to where sooner or later someone is going to have a wide open 3
-
You don’t think this league isn’t a war zone every night out? - -Texas just curb stomping Baylor at Baylor right now 30-16 with still like 11:30 to go in the firt half
-
Holy crap! Houston’s down at half against UCF!
-
I don’t see UCF pulling it off unless the lights go out and they have to end the game right now.
-
It helps us (maybe a little?) that Houston’s in a tough fight tonight and then has to travel home before we see them on Saturday.
-
It will be key for us to hit about 3 to 4 more triples than usual and keep them off the offensive boards.
-
LJ Cryer was a great pickup for Houston. Big time scoring guard. Only 3 assists for Houston with 1:42 left. KU needs such a guy at point?
-
Brigham Young up by eleven-- 38-27 at the half over Iowa St at the half iin Ames. - -Man I would not want them in my bracket in the NCAA -They drain so many three’s - -spread you out , wide open three’s. They are gonna be dangerous
-
@Gorilla72 Cryer is an unbelievable PG, passing or shooting both can be great. Few are good at both Kolek for Marquette is arguably the best in the land this season averaging 15 and almost 8 assists while shooting 40% from 3. Some Juan’s problem is our lack of consistent shooters, I really thought he could be a 10 and 10 type of guy if he was aggressive enough. If him and Hunter are both returning we have to get guys that can shoot the ball at the 2 and 3 spot. Then we will be very dangerous.
-
Would probably help us if ISU won tonight in terms of seeding for the conference tournament. Crazy to think we could finish outside the top 5 in conference for the first time in B12 history and probably back to the early 80s. I’m disappointed in how many streaks have ended between this teams loses and the vacated 2018 season.

LJ Cryer is a 2, not a 1. Even at Baylor, he was their 2. He’s never averages more than 2.1 assists per game in his career. Jamal Shead is UH’s point guard
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 For sure, they both bring to up at times but Shead is more a passer for sure. I’ve only watched. A few Houston games. They both are great guards no question.
-
ISU fans all braggy on twit about having the best atmosphere in the league because BYU coach said it was. Fine, they can hang a banner, we’ll show them how to hang a banner, but ours are a wee bit more impressive.
-
Iowa State / Iowa State - - GAME OVER - -9-2 -right off the bat ISU - -K/State body language is like they don’t want to be here- - -why are we even here look. -really pathetic. - -I mean they look bad, and just dis interested
-
UNC dook time. Always hype for this one. GTHD
-
-
Ladies having trouble keeping up with Texas tonight close game thru out but Texas pulling away late. No answer for their bigs and we have had turnover issues this half.
-
Flopkowski could commit a felony and not get his 5th foul
-
CORMAC
-
Love seeing Duke lose on their home floor for Senior night.
-
To Franklin Street!
-
Glad Coach K showed up to watch his team lose again.
-
Did I see an article saying it looked like Flopkowski tripped someone on UNC?
-
@Gorilla72 yeah he pulled a Grayson Allen

As part of NIL they hand out 8x11’s of Grayson Allen for their nightstands

Jason Williams, former Duke guard , when he saw this said totally Unacceptable.
First Grey baby boy - - -Now Felica- - go figure - -Dirty players

@jayballer67 Ehhh He was stretching out that sore knee from the court storming. Poor guy, how could anyone think otherwise?!?
