    So, are you saying they're all suspecting it?

    Kendall Pollard got a ridiculous one earlier in the year. He was on a dead sprint and went parallel with the ground with a teammate underneath him on the dunk. He literally held on so he didn't crack his head open.

    For a Flagrant 2 Technical Foul you are suspended for the next game.
    It is foolish to bring up the "brawl" UC game in Cintas in which the Guian kid or however you spell his name initiated the brawl and Xavier officials way over-reacted to everything. The whole mess will come up again this year and next at Cintas and really should be forgotten, especially the post game interviews. BTW, Luther Smith is still employed by Xavier. The entire mess should be erased from memory.

    Couldn't disagree with you more. I have only read your message but am glad that someone on Xavier is showing a little attitude for once since the brawl. Now I am not advocating fighting or anything like that cause that has no place in the game, but if someone on this team gets a little chippy and pissed off and gets a T after something happens then so be it. This is not the NBA one T does not have any affect on the ruling of other technicals. If Jalen averages one technical a game cause he dropped F bombs on the court he would not be suspended.

    As a guy I played football with in college once told our coach after a 15 yard personal foul... Coach I don't start no shit...but I won't take no shit either.

    It was a "bit" of a flop and wasn't "that hard" of a throw. Okay?

    I'm not sure what this means.

    Jalen got stuffed twice. He then put his arm around the kid as they both moved and basically switched spots. Jalen grabbed the kid's jersey and threw him on the ground.

    Now Fisher did not in fact die, which is good. Nor was he seriously hurt, also good.

    But he did not flop, not even a "bit." I'm not sure how you would even measure it. And it was hard enough to receive a tech, which in the end is all that freaking matters.

    Seriously Champ, I don't know what point you are trying to make. 99% of the fan base didn't like it. You even thought he shouldn't have done it. All I want is it to stop before it really hurts the team. Which I think Mack agrees with, hence the talk on the bench.

    Love the tough play, but plenty of players are tough, without resorting to some of things Jalen has been doing lately.

    I thought Fischer was a little off-balance, as evidenced by the fact that he fell when Reynolds didn't follow through on his push at all, but I don't think he flopped. It was a frustration foul involving getting tangled up with the guy and shoving him away. It was nothing egregious; it was just stupid.

    Watch the replay to the end of the Xavier-Providence game after Jalen's dunk, JP gets the steal and passes the ball, then proceeds to run down the lane and do a flying chest bump to Jalen, almost knocking him into another Providence player. I think if he would have collided with another Providence player, then a brawl may have ensued. That was a great situation that very nearly could have been another disaster. I mean Jalen was inches from just drilling that Providence player after JP trucked into him. That was not the smartest of decisions either with the game in hand at that point.

    If you watch our pre game warm up, guys are just throwing the ball around to each other in a reckless "passing" motion. If one of those balls sails to the other side of the court and smacks an opponent in the face, it could start a brawl. I sure hope we have a reflection session on the dangerous on the court activity soon.

    LOL! Reps!

    I mean, give me a break. There was a fight. It happened over three years ago, and the "worst" part of the fight was the words said (not the punching and shoving). Some get pissed and call the team soft, but then get worried when they show any sign of aggression.

    I agree 100% with DC on this. Jalen is developing beautifully in many ways, but he has to stop doing idiot stuff because of flash emotion.

    Posterize guys, but then turn around and go play defense. If a guy stuffs you, get his ass the next time. THINK!
