MBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Fartcus Smellwood]

WOW  Benedictine defeated CUC today.  But that is not the point of this post.  This is directed at the fans of CUC.  The 13 person "student section"  displayed some of the most pathetic forms of sportsmanship I have ever seen.  I have never had a problem with heckling players, its downright fun if you keep it clean.  However, they heckled Benedictine's head coach.  Said some things that mostly were incoherent and rude.  You do not do that to a coach.  This wasnt just one or two instances.  This was virtually every single play of the game.  No exaggeration.  These kids embarrassed themsevles and their AD should be thoroughly disappointed/embarrassed with his student fans.  You wanna heckle the ref, the players, fine.  When you constantly are yelling at the coach for his actions/comments, that crosses the line for me.  This all happened directly after the Announcer read  how sportsmanlike they are at CUC and how all fans should display it.  Oh yeah, and this was going on while they were down by 24 in the first half.  Pretty disgusting performance by the fans if you ask me.

I like having discussion with you over in the football chat BUFan but come on...do you need a tissue bro? Seriously, go to a U of I game, a Duke game, whatever...the coach will get heckled. Its all a part of the game and if you couldn't take it, why didn't you just leave if it offended you so much. BU won, CUC isnt having a good year and probably will continue on that same path. Your coach was acting ridiculous and he obviously deserved what he got...the one question I ask is what is so different from heckling a coach to heckling players and even refs since you seem to think that is okay??? I am sorry man, like I said earlier, I like having convos with you in the football chat but this is something petite and it happens everywhere, and I am sure it happens at BU too. BU got the W, be happy.

Caught post-game account for Marian vs. Edgewood:

2 Finals as per those announcers:  Edgewood 77, Marian 67

                                                        Aurora IL 100, WLC 91. (No surprise there, but still. . .  ).

Eagle announcers indicated per stats that Edgewood shot nearly twice as many free throws as Marian.

Edgewood's next opponent is-- (drum roll, please,)  UW-Stevens Point, on the road.

Come on CUC!!! What is going on? I know you are all better than that!!! We need to get an offense going, 44-29 is not a good half time score for a fan to come into... I believe in you guys, things just gotta start clicking. Keep your heads up!

[WLCALUM83]

Final just in:  Benedictine 89, CUW 69.

[WLCALUM83]

Another final:  WLC 90, Concordia-Chicago 83. I'm eating my crow with a smile. (Whew!) 

The Warriors barely get out of there with a win.

Per WLC announcers:  1)  WLC led by as much as 13 points in 2nd half before going into a cold-shooting spell from the field and the free-throw line.

                                    2)  Several costly turnovers did the Cougars in. They had the game tied on a couple of occasions but never got over the hump.

                                    3)  If 2 of the Cougars' better players don't foul out--

                                    4)  Cougars forced to foul late.

[WLCALUM83]

Final per Marian web-site:  Marian 63, Dominican 61.

The battle of giants looms - this Friday night - Rockford at MBBC.

Just a side thought on the Lakeland-Rockford game - what's with Rockford's coach??? He basically quit on his team about 5 minutes in. LC got off to a 20-1 start - they could not miss and Rockford could not make anything (and they got some decent shots). And with the way Lakeland runs this year, the rout was on. Rockford called a timeout in the first half and the coaches and bench players stayed on the bench and their coach told his 5 guys in the game to stay on the floor and talk themselves. If I'm a Rockford parent or the athletic director I would be plenty steamed at this guy! They are not a horrible team and his players deserved a lot better than what he gave them yesterday.
