i.e. bowl games that are not playoff games

Or when they used to play a 3rd place game in the Dance between the Final Four losers.

They need to

CU Ath Dept has had a hard time with Computer Stuff for 20 years.

They need to hire @Matt, he knows his stuff with that.

ICYMI, St Bonaventure is in the NIT Semis. Won all three games on the road. We lost to a legit team.

They taunted the UVA crowd like they did at ours. What the hell is wrong with that team? wow, going on a tear in the NIT, you guys sure are big men

Not saying you are wrong at all. Thing is, you don't like them talking **** or being taunted, do something about it.

Sure, I don't think Tad would ever tolerate that kind of behavior though. It's extremely amateurish and embarrassing. I would tell them to act like they've been there before but... well.

I don't think he would either. Competing though, you can get your point across without saying a ****ing word or taunting. Matter of fact, most would hate it more when they take their ass back to the locker room if you haven't said much of anything. Really depends on who the leadership of the players is. Some coaches are cool with it, some aren't.

You can get a technical for taunting an opposing player - extend that to taunting crowds. Lots in common.

lot in common with the act, but the result is the reason one is a Tech and one is not.

Taunting the opposing player often escalates the situation and the tech is to avoid it boiling over to a fight.

Taunting the crowds also escalates the situation into more yelling and energy, which I support. Gets me fired up when the opposing player does it, but secretly, I kinda enjoy it, and really enjoy it when our players do it, until it gets in their head and they start playing dumb.

Greivis Vásquez was one of my favorite players for this reason...

St. Bonaventure
Xavier
Texas A&M
Washington State

I guess I'm rooting for the Pac-12 in the NIT Final Four.

Buffs really could have won this thing.

The gif of Marshall Henderson taunting the Auburn crowd is a work of art that belongs in the Louvre.

God damn the Bonnies are unlikable. Can’t remember a team carrying themselves with so much cockiness while losing by 10 points. Go X!
