But he pushed Gordon back. Many players guard up close as someone dribbles out the clock. Gordon was wrong to steal, but I would have thought about stealing the ball after DeSousa made contact.
I don't agree about Love "just trying to help". He waded into the fray and went directly towards DeSousa. Not a good move. That's when the fists began to fly.
What? Why wouldn't you keep playing hard? Good lord. It's called "competition". I get it that you don't full court press in bball in that situation or throw 70 yd passes in football, but you absolutely keep playing hard 1/2 court defense until the other team "surrenders" or as in KU did last night, obviously was not trying to score. As a coach myself, that is THE only time I'd tell my kids to not play hard 1/2 court defense. Anything less would be sad, imo.
Right. Where were the officials when this whole thing first started?WIldWIllieCat wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 9:38 amI agree that D Gordon should have backed off.....certainly an immature response to gettin' whooped. For the life of me, I just can't figure out where the officials were and what they were thinking. That whole episode should have ended with the hard block, KU fans cheer, and the time ticks off the clock.
It appears that Garrett and McCormack had cornered Love, who either tripped or was pulled down by a KU fan. DeSousa was approaching from the side with a stool held over his head - ready to smash someone. A KU assistant coach saved him from a prison term by yanking the stool away.Section 12-2 wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 9:31 amWeren't a couple of KU players kicking someone who was on the floor?
Higgins was right there. Higgins loves him some Bill Self. It's been obvious for years.katlander wrote: ↑January 22nd, 2020, 9:44 amRight.

I agree. The arm bar was NOT enough to elicit Gordon's stupid response.
