Crazy fight to end Cincy Xavier game

[Ghost]

That was unreal. Lots of suspensions. Gates is a thug. Holloway I am surprised at. He should get 5 games for starting this whole thing.

Yeah, Holloway seemed to be a big part of the problem. I still haven't seen Frease get hit...Gates hit him? Or was he stepped on?

(Just saw the image above - guess he got punched)

 

[JeremyCuse]

I'd be surprised if Gates ever plays again.

Hmmm you maybe right, though theres not a lot of presidence from a basketball standpoint with long term suspensions. Will be interesting to see what happens but you are right Gates is in big trouble.

Yancy Gates isn't a fan of the human race

 

[Upstate]

Wait, you're telling me CINCINNATI got into a fight? Those kids have always been clean-cut, down home kids. This is absolutely shocking.

 

[Nate44]

Gates could be done but I think he gets an indefinite suspension and gets reinstated after 15 or so games

 

[CorduroyG]

Coleman was awesome...lol.

Someone is fighting? I better throw a haymaker!

Thats hysterical. It took coleman a split second to start throwing haymakers, he didnt even have time to realize what was going on. And really nothing was going on, just 2 guys tangled up, but dc didnt care lol

True, and I think the NCAA will be setting a very big one in the next few days. Like Jake, I don't expect to see Gates play again this year.

So what did Gottleib say about this fight? He's trending on Twitter with people ripping into him, saying he should shut up because he "doesn't know where those players come from."

I may not like Gottleib much, but seriously? That's ridiculous. People are ripping Gottleib for, from what I gather, saying how wrong the brawl was because he's not "street" enough to understand it.

If he said anything assclownish I don't know about, that's another story, but come on.

The only assclowns are the ones ripping him. All he said was that you can't throw punches on a basketball court. He didn't even say anything negative about the kids.

 

[jekelish]

Well then that's absurd. He's trending on Twitter (negatively) for saying it's wrong to throw punches. Jesus.

 

[Knicks411]

I am not sure how long the NCAA suspends him, but Cronin should kick Yates off the team.

 

[arbitragegls]

...think Melo can take him down easily...

 

[Ghost]

The press conferences were just as bad. They should suspend everyone.

 

[jekelish]

...think Melo can take him down easily...

Just tell Fab Yancy is a turn signal and Gates won't stand a chance.

 

[ForeverOrange]

Emotions fly in a basketball game, some people get more emotional than others. I don't think it would be as bad for Gates if the one-piece he gave him didn't have him pouring blood. Just poor judgement, your a senior, forget the fact that your team needs you, this is your LAST year to prove you can do something professionally and you blow it because some dude got into your head, just sad.

 

[SoBeCuse]

Did Gates stomp on him or kick him too??

 

[CorduroyG]

Did Gates stomp on him or kick him too??

No, gates punched him in the face, white dude fell down, then some other dude on cincy kicked/stomped him in the face when he was down.

 

[Madbiker]

Wells of Xavier started it by shoving a Cincy player who was jawing with Holloway. Wells should be suspended for several games. But Gates is a total thug...this will probably be a career ender for him.

 

[Scooch]

Fights bring out the weird in people.

Coleman throws a completely unwarranted haymaker and, years later, we laugh about it.

Meanwhile people want these kids suspended for the season. Hell, give 'em all the chair!

It was a fight, suspend them a few games and move on.

Geez.

Don't you get suspended for the year for a second punch in a season anyway?

Holloway's post game coments are more inane than anything JB said about the Fine situation. Quote: "that's what you want to see from Cincinatti and Xavier".

I too was surprised shocked at how poorly Holloway acted at the post game conference. That just is unacceptable. I mean really those comments alone deserve to give him a suspension. You should be apologizing for instigating a fight, I understand he was angry at the comments made by Kilpatrick but use that anger in whooping Cincy's ass (which you did) not start a brawl.

and seriously Gates and Mbodj deserve to be on indefinite suspension. I definitely feel for Cronin and I thought his end game comments were spot on.

 

[pearl31]

From the sound of Cronin after the game, Yancy won't be playing for Cinci anymore regardless.

I like that Cronin made Cinci take their jerseys off after the game because, to paraphrase him, their actions do not represent the university for which they attend class and letter in. Classy move.

Yancy Gates was a thug when he came to the Dome and flipped our student section off in 09, he's a thug now, and he'll probably always be a thug.
