He was mouthing off ALL game!!!
He was giving it to Garrison and Oweh more than the other players.
Maybe we need someone to smack talk them 2 EVERY game!!!!! Because both played great tonight and especially on that last possession!!
Reading your comment, catben, I'm reminded of the Arkansas game.
It struck me as an example of exactly what I was saying when you get to a point of it becoming motivational for other players (as well as coaches ... ahem) when it happens to them and the kind of EFFORT those players that are getting treated that way and how they perform.
Some posters on here either don't seem to understand or accept, or have never played in those kind of hostile conditions before and actually RESPONDED by playing well, that it DOES motivate the hell out of these young men that get on the floor and perform well with the opposition (fans, players, whomever) chirping all game long.
We should have recognized that could happen, taken away that aspect of motivation, and stayed focused on giving them as little as possible for bulletin board material. But it's over now. It shouldn't be a factor moving forward playing Arkansas again. And there will be yet another reason why we will win when we do play them.
It just amazes me, after watching 50 years college basketball, that some of our fans don't seem to understand that it DOES MOTIVATE PLAYERS TO PUT IN MORE EFFORT AND PLAY BETTER when you are getting talked to and yapped at the entire game.
Oweh and Garrison stood up to it and passed the test with flying colors last night.
Go Big Blue !
