I’m okay with more so trash talk on the court. This is pure classlessness. And not surprising either Absolutely! Totally agree. This is borderline threats. Makes me wanna cheer for Akron. Game just got more interesting I’ll say that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivantheturrible Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 I don’t know if I agree with the suspensions, especially in a championship game. But man you can always count on Toledo choking and Kent being, well Kent lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really the only player of note is Jacobs. And he’s just suspended for the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Responsibility and accountability are sorely lacking in today’s sports world. Again what were these kids thinking and with all the social network that is out there.

If it was 3 starters, they would not have been suspended. It was an easy pound of flesh. MAC can pay themselves on the back they did something. In the end, Kent got their asses handed to them. Not a great look when a tournament final game is 20+ point blowout and there were A few around the country. Vermont laid the wood to UMBC. That’s why these leagues continue to be 1 bid.

DooleyBull06 Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Kent State has no one to blame but themselves. I watched the game, they came out hot. Then at the start of the second half they cut the deficit to one. Cry me a river…those players deserve to be reprimanded. You can’t do that. Plain and simple. And by that I mean have that video posted for the world to see. We all know trash talk is apart of basketball. And vulgar things are said both on the court and in the locker. But that’s where it has to stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UBinMD Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 Latest projection has Alabama as a 6 (seems like a seed based on potential and not recent performance). Michigan a 12, last 4 in (seems gracious). Akron a 14 against Wisconsin, which is a tough draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama gets the 6 and if they win, Nate gets to go up against Texas Tech, the team who he coached his final game against while at UB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of that, a suspension just seems soft. Punishment doesn’t fit the crime. I’m by no means a fan of players using social media to pat themselves on the back every time they dunk it, but crying for suspensions every time a player posts something semi “controversial” is a pretty dated mindset. This is the way it is now, and it’s not about to change. Was it stupid and classless? Sure, absolutely. Suspension worthy? No way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people were brought up to be respectful of others and treat others like you would want to be treated. Sadly the culture today is the opposite. It is a sad commentary of the world today. Where is the responsibility and accountability. To say that it is the way it is now and that people of good moral fiber can’t change the wrongs is another sad commentary. Hope springs eternal.

UBinMD Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Gotta be as disappointing as UB and Bona is Tuscaloosa. UB Dancing and pulling off an upset or two is one thing. Exiting in the first round as a power conference team who was in the top 10 at one point is almost as bad as not going. Hopefully Nate can use that as motivation next year. Maybe he and Callipari can do a workshop together on motivating 5 stars to perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DooleyBull06 Posted March 18, 2022 Share Posted March 18, 2022 Done in the first round. This year’s team just wasn’t the same as a year ago. They lost their toughness and defense when Petty and Jones left for the nba. And their offense was pretty bad at shooting 3s. Which is pretty much their offense if they aren’t getting run outs. Nate failed to change the dna of this team this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do agree Alabama lost their three players in Petty, Jones and Reese who were their heart and soul especially on defense and all the 4/5 star recruits could not make up for their loss and if you have a coach who does not or can not change how a team plays. They continued to to shoot 3’s and play a lot of one on one ball with defense not a priority and did not look like Oats could not change their mental side of the game. Even if you have all the talent in the world if you can not get them to play together as a team the results are what they are. Will see what kind of coach Oats and that coaching staff will be next year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully for Nate they will enjoy defense and be better shooters. If not he turns into Callipari with great classes that underperform. Fortunately coaches like that always have jobs because they bring hope annually Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKBullsfan Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Wes was an all time transfer. He was a perfect fit for our program and he played at a high level from the beginning. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
