    There's a difference between typical opposing fan behavior and obnoxious opposing fan behavior. It seems like the Presbyterian fan was displaying typical opposing fan behavior and being kicked out for that is rather lame. However I'm all for obnoxious opposing fan behavior being dealt with accordingly.
    No question there are limits to what an opposing fan ought to do in another team's arena, but this case wasn't even close to that line.

    It is even worse that it happens to the fan of a team who is way outmatched. If you can't be a gracious (and even forgiving host) when you are beating a team by 30, when can you?

    • "I don't think anybody should yell anything negative at our players. Period. Let's don't make it a bigger thing than it is. But I just don't think anybody should yell negative things toward our players (when) you come in on our tickets to watch our game, " said good ol Roy.

      Nothing like stoking the fires. My guess is NC and Roy will find a more interesting than usual guest mat out for any road games. They'll be watching THEIR players on THEIR court on THEIR tickets. What a lame jerk.

        • For those who missed it, Illinois St. lost at home to Niagara yesterday, 68-76.

          This is significant for us because our first conference game is at ISU. And I think we are a better team than Niagara. Getting a win there, followed by home wins over Drake and Bradley would be a great way to start the conference season!

            Yeah, but they might be a little more pumped when #23 Wichita State walks into Red Bird Arena. ;-)

            • I forgot to mention that Niagara was without their 2nd-leading scorer (15.6 ppg) and leading rebounder (11 rpg) and as a team was out-rebounded 49-28 by ISU.

              • Missouri State still at 25 in FoxSports rankings, although they lost lots of credibility in the fact that Dayton jumped into the poll at #20 after "a couple quality losses to Villanova and Kansas State"?

                  That's gonna be quite a feat seeing how we have no votes now.

                    Yeah! Go GMU!

                    Thinking about the Creighton game made me realize I hadn't dropped by to say hello to my MVC friends at WSU this season.

                    You're off to a great start! I'm pulling for ya. You must be feeling pretty good about your team. GMU is VERY young this year. We only have two upperclassmen on the team so we're going to have some ups and downs (already lost some squeakers).

                    Merry Christmas, Shockers!

                      By beating CU, your team has already done their part to make it a Merry Christmas for this Shocker fan!

                      Way to go GMU!

                        :good: Bingo.

                        Thanks for stopping by GoGMU and beating the sCUm. That was a great and perfect ending to the game.

                        Our record is a bit inflated but hopefully we'll justify it Saturday night when a Top 20 team comes into town.

                        Merry Christmas to you and the rest of the Mason fanbase and here's to turning things around and having a great season!

                          We're always happy to help out our Shocker brethren (except when we play you, which I hope we'll do again sometime!).

                          • Interesting tidbit from the "Valley" press office:



                            Hancock would drive to the basket and be fouled with 31.2 seconds left. He sank both shots to get Mason within one point, 71-70. Cavel Witter made the second free throw with 27.9 seconds left as CU went ahead 72-70.

                            After Mason called its final timeout, Long would drive and Carter would be called for a blocking foul with 18.0 seconds left that led to Brad Gaston calling a technical foul on the Bluejay bench. Hancock hit both free throws awarded from the technical foul the line to tie the score, then Long made his second at the line to give Mason a one-point lead. A Bluejay turnover led to a breakaway dunk from Hancock with 2.3 seconds left.
                            Funny how they protect the "innocent" Deana of Valley Coaching.

                              • But don't you think it is weird that the "Valley" press release refrains from mentioning who got the technical?

                                They had no problem spilling the beans on Coach Marshall's ejection during the Valley tournament:



                                But fail to mention Diana getting "T'd" up, but DO mention the OFFICIAL that called it??
