NC State mention on Mike Lupica this morning. Mike was reminded of Tyler Lewis and the cameron crazies yelling "How's your grandma?"

shoot, the MINIMUM salary for a ROOKIE is almost $500k a year

I was curious and looked up WNBA salaries once, entire team salary caps were at or just under 1 million lol

Does anyone miss Jibbles more than TT? He's forced to converse with his alias now

2/9/2014 3:30:19 PM

its really quite sad

2/9/2014 4:12:20 PM

its bullshit that smart gets suspended 3 games for that. how many games does orr get suspended?

#newslaves

2/9/2014 6:19:08 PM

So, is it "piece of crap" or the racial slur?

2/9/2014 6:19:58 PM

Orr has agreed to not attend any more games this season

Marcus Ndiaye?

Makhtar Smart?

2/9/2014 6:55:38 PM

The audio is terrible, but it sounds to me like the dude yelled "pussy".

2/9/2014 7:27:10 PM

Strongly believe he at one point used the words piece of crap. Strongly believe that was not all that was said and he's trying to keep a cleaner appearance by not telling entire truth. Racist fuck

2/9/2014 7:27:24 PM

he said something initially that made smart confront him. While smart was in his face he said something that made smart push him.

2/9/2014 7:56:19 PM

Yeah, I have no idea what was said verbatim cause the audio was tough to pickup, but it sounds like something along the lines of "get the ball, pussy" or "get along, pussy"...definitely not "piece of craP" but definitely not "nigger"

but it's way too hectic with fans screaming to get a really accurate idea of what happened

2/9/2014 8:20:04 PM

definitely hear "Piece of crap" in the video. Anything beyond that is just conjecture.

2/9/2014 10:41:46 PM

do you have a timestamp where you hear that? i have trouble discerning anything audible, but i'm curious to where you heard "piece of crap"

2/9/2014 10:43:41 PM

I've reviewed that tape a few times and can confirm that 9/11 was an inside job.

2/9/2014 10:51:38 PM

He definitely says you piece of crap

2/10/2014 3:28:57 AM

There is no way in hell that guy is not married to a beard.

2/10/2014 4:09:34 AM

^^^It starts at 18 seconds. You can CLEARLY hear "You piece of crap." At 19 seconds, Smart turns his head towards the dude. At 20seconds, Smart gets up. At 21 seconds, Smart is shoving the dude. After shoved, you can hear someone continuously saying "hey, hey, hey". I dunno, I just feel if there was more said, you would hear it with as clearly as you can hear "You piece of crap."

The fan released a statement saying that he called him a "piece of crap". The video seems to back that up pretty clearly. The race baiting that has been going on is not surprising in the least though. Smart overreacts and does something stupid(which is becoming a thing for him) but since it was a white guy, it had to be something racist, right? lol. This race stuff makes me laugh anymore.

^am i correct in assuming that you're against affirmative action?

2/10/2014 9:48:29 AM

why would he agree not to come to any more games?

if he has season tickets, he has every right to be there, or get a refund

To be politically correct b/c the situation Saturday made him look as immature or arguably more immature than Smart due to his age. I can accept antics like this from a college student but not from someone who reached grandfather status. Also, probably because he doesn't want Al Sharpton to get involved so he's trying to a low profile in the time being .

2/10/2014 12:16:14 PM

smart clearly got back on the court pointed at him and said " dont you call me a n****"

if you watch the original video, smart was in his face, the man said something, THEN smart pushed him. it was more than 1 second like the other guy said.

2/10/2014 5:30:50 PM

yeah, he says sorry about that.

2/11/2014 3:03:25 AM

I have listened to that audio probably 40 times...

He says you piece of crap n*gger.

the n word is very faint but it obviously triggers Smart...

he def throws it in though I think...very faintly.
I dont think Smart heard any of the other part except the N word, according to his reaction.

anyone else hear it?

[Edited on February 11, 2014 at 3:14 AM. Reason : f]

2/11/2014 3:14:15 AM

yeah i can sorta hear it since you pointed it out. dont know why we cant do some FBI enhancement of that shit.

2/11/2014 5:06:19 AM

lets say carolina loses 3 in a row. at what point do wins in december stop getting them in and they become a legit bubble team?

2/11/2014 10:03:57 PM

Not to go all Oliver Stone but isn't it weird you can hear him say "piece of crap" and "hey, hey hey" just fine but it's muted right after piece of crap? Could Texas Tech have edited out the n word?

2/12/2014 12:35:33 AM

Cuse are underdogs at Pitt.

2/12/2014 6:15:55 PM

eye test:

18-6 (7-4) in the 3rd best conference
RPI 38
BPI 32
3-4 against RPI top-50
2-2 against RPI 51-100
key wins: @UNLV, vs Marquette, vs Colorado, vs Oregon, @ California
bad losses: vs Miami (FL), vs Washington
other factors: most exciting PG in the nation, best fucking shot blocker in the history of basketball


is this team tournament worthy at this time?

2/12/2014 6:55:16 PM

no

2/12/2014 6:57:53 PM

how about if they beat Arizona on Friday? are they in then?

2/12/2014 7:01:55 PM

nah

2/12/2014 7:05:54 PM

If Pitt hangs on to win, would it be the biggest sports win in their university's history?

2/12/2014 8:27:19 PM

no way man, they have 12 national titles in football.

2/12/2014 8:36:57 PM

but Syracuse is one of the best basketball teams in history

2/12/2014 8:42:40 PM

Very physical game so far. With the new rules, I'm surprised both teams haven't shot 30+ FTs each

2/12/2014 8:44:18 PM

i've watched about 4 posessions. On all 4 posessions, the offensive player jumped into the defender trying to draw contact. Fouls were called on two posessions...1 charge, 1 block. Jesus Christ

2/12/2014 8:50:42 PM

I want Cooney for the win. He cracks me up.

2/12/2014 8:59:48 PM

2/12/2014 9:10:25 PM

ok, Ennis is player of the year in the ACC

sorry TJ and Jabari

2/12/2014 9:10:41 PM

OMG, LOL!

2/12/2014 9:10:56 PM

Cuse dagger three. Unreal.

2/12/2014 9:10:58 PM

Ok I may start being a believer.

Ennis is the man.

But fuck Syracuse.

2/12/2014 9:11:25 PM

would it be funny or insane if they didn't count it because of cuse players stepping onto the court during the shot?

[Edited on February 12, 2014 at 9:12 PM. Reason : pitt did too.. just wondered if they actually had a rule for that]

2/12/2014 9:11:50 PM

Amazing shot

2/12/2014 9:12:24 PM

holy crap the end of that game


Now maybe huge letdown against us this weekend
