CU at MSU ESPN2 Saturday

Yep completely class-less as the bears lead the valley. At least the students stayed in the stands that way the teams could shake hands.

at least none of the fans pushed a player this game.

No they were to busy screaming at McMoney. it was funny watching the cops escort him off after his pissing match with Elmo in the corner.

To be completely honest, I'm not going to feel too much sympathy for any team who complains about a coach, when their respective coach is McDermott. Remember how everybody was happy to see him leave UNI? A lot of people were upset to see him come back due to his temper tantrums and whining, too. For example, one time I saw him run out onto a court to yell at a ref when the game was still in play, and the opposing team was bringing the ball up the court, stopping play. The refs were too whipped to even give him a T. Oh wait, that was last night. That's pretty much a get-out-of-jail-free card when it comes to coaching behavior. Maybe you guys can talk about the lack of "Martin's class" all you want, because you already know McDermott has none.

Not getting into the pissing match just wanted to say hell of game Jays and we stole one we didn't deserve to win. Never thought I would see us down 15 on our home court but CU was putting on a clinic. Glad we clawed back and found a way at the end. Great college basketball game and atmosphere!

Fun game...Bears have things to work on. Great atmosphere, and great game Jays.

Always a gift when you get outplayed but still escape with a win. CU strengths took advantage of areas we can struggle in as the penetration of Young and the strength down on the blocks of Ech,Lawson, lil Mac, gave us fits all day. But just as ISU showed us, you let a home team hang close and then don't execute a time or two late, you get beat on the road plain and simple.

Valley race is still wide open and STL will be even more so as right now 5 teams all show the ability to win against each other in UNI,WSU,MSU,CU,ISUb. Regular season race might come down to whomever among ISU/WSU/MSU avoids a loss against the lower half; ISU already has one in losing at Evansville.

Bear's still have schedule advantage heading into 2nd half, but margin for error is very slim. Every game now becomes a bit scary starting with @Drake this week.

Last thing I'll say in this thread is CU continues to get better with GE being more and more comfortable and team more comfortable with him. I have no idea what seed we'll be in the Lou (or whether this team will fold up like a cheap suit after tough losses here and at ISUb) but we'll be the team that you want on the other side of the bracket.

This league is so close any of the top 5 seeds could win Arch Madness and no one will be surprised.

Insert Gregg Marshall in for what Martin did and this board might have blown up.

You mean, exactly like what has happened in this thread?

What is your deal?

I thought Coach Martin's display of celebration in the hand-shake line was totally out of line, regardless of the high emotions in that gym. I have NEVER seen a coach do such an "in-your-face" exhibition of poor gamesmenship! Remember, he was passing a line of young men who had been just as emotionally involved for their team as he was for the Bears. It looked, for the national audience to see, like a coach rubbing the opponent's face in the mud after a loss. Not classy!

Wow, what a softie you must be. I hope Aces fans aren't like that...but maybe they are and that would explain the lack of success in recent years (or decades). Cuonzo should have muay thai kicked McDermott as they were going through the handshake line. When you win, you get to celebrate as you like...and it wasn't like the scrubby benchwarmers on Creighton were going to do anything to Cuonzo. I loved it though, it was a real back at you at CU for Dingman and everything else. I hope he continues to do it every game . It is what basketball is all about pwning someone and then letting them know about it. Creighton got clowned and Cuonzo told them all about it. Awesomeness.

I dunno why you keep quoting me in every thread and asking me questions that seem to make sense, but I thought it was a fair point.

Anyways, it was a great game to watch. I couldn't decide who I wanted to win so I didn't.
