If you watched the UC XU game yesterday, you got to see a good fight on the court as the game was ending.
I've been a little perturbed that most media types and commentators have somehow placed all of this on UC, particularly, Yancey Gates, who's main sin was apparently being the only one to land a punch.
It's too bad Gates has more heart in a fight than his game.
Of course, I'm a biased UC fan but let's go through the progressions of this.
It was an UX player that initiated any of the physical altercations when he pushed the UC player who he was not guarding.
Watch the press conference with Lyon and Holloway. Do these two clowns represent the "clean image" XU purports to have. These guys are thugs. Holloway got a technical in last year's game as a result of all his trash talking.
What isn't in the video is that after all the melee calmed down, the XU guys came back out on to the court to get into with the remaining UC fans. Kenny Frease started taunting a bunch of female fans and started heading to the stands. I guess if one of them had punch him he would have crawled back to the locker room.
As a UC fan, it gets tiring to hear the conventional wisdom that our teams are packs of thugs and the XU guys are characterized as good citizens. It's not UC who let their self proclaimed "gangstas" to talk to the media and talk about putting the opposition in bodybags.
I think UC should just cancel the damn game for good and be done with the whole thing.
