Girard

[Cusester]

JGIII did not run away. He jogged back to the bench to enjoy the moment with the rest of the team. You don't play the way he does if you're afraid of confrontation.

Here's a screengrab from late in the game. Before Syracuse attempted to inbound the ball after Elijah had taken a timeout, the refs went to look at the monitor to double-check that Pflueger was behind the 3-pt line (which he was). You can see that Gibbs got right up in Girard's face and tried to intimidate him with a stare-down. (The ref is jogging over to the monitor, so this was not in any way live action where Gibbs was guarding Joe.) Joe stood his ground - this went on for almost 5 seconds by my count - then Gibbs slowly sauntered over to the sideline (both teams essentially took advantage of the stoppage as though it was another timeout). Looked like Gibbs was jawing at Joe as he walked away from him, too.

So Gibbs started stirring up $ h ! t, and got mad at Joe for getting revenge after the game was over. Too bad, TJ... Joe was better last night... get used to it!!

eggxactly, this is what I was referring to in my earlier post. This along with the taunt in the dome got him pissed. Love the way he handles himself. Hands on hip, not giving an inch, and this guy was in his face for a LONG time. Bravo Joe. Love it.

So he ran to celebrate with the bench and not the 2 or 3 teammates he ran by and put between him and the guy he shamed? Get out of here.

Gibbs - some BS generic trash talk

JGIII - “Dude. Scoreboard.”

I think--one day after the Kansas-KState melee--that was the right move.

Then how about not start something? He knew he was being a douche.

Why does this make you so hot? Do you just look for every opportunity to bash the program?
Joe's a freshman. It was a bit of a freshman move, but nothing to get bent out of shape about.
Let's go Orange!!

That wasn't much "something".
Something is more like stepping over an opponent who's stretched out on the court.

Girard has chutzpah. And as Robert Goulet once sang, “it takes chuuuuuutzpah”



We’re in good shape with this kid on our squad in the coming years.

I don’t think he started it, I think he ended it by knocking down the free throws and deservedly chirped a little when he was saying goodbye.

Of course we would have gotten mad if someone did it to us, that’s what’s great about it. Bro

Joe Girard III is thriving at Syracuse a lot sooner than many around here thought he would.

I get how that happens in a game. And we don’t know what happened or what was said in the game prior to this.

And this wasn’t the crime Of the Century against any standards.

But the question is how smart was it really?

“What goes around comes around “

Unless you are Ali, you don’t need to give your opponents anymore incentive to beat you.

The cycle of events were clear-

Game 1- Hubb pulls his stunt on Joe, Joe goes off from 3 and SU loses.

Game 2- Girard grabs onto the ball after the whistle vs Gibbs who was trash talking prior to that. Gibbs continues to trash talk especially at the very end of the game. I presume it was a give and take all game. Joe gets the last insult in via the ball handoff.

I wouldn't say it is a one sided affair. It is the only opponent we have seen things get heated with. Given Pitt being Pitt regardless of coach maybe tomorrow we find out differently.

Otherwise Joe is just being the emotional player he is. Once he gets T'd up once or twice it will settle down. Having some swagger isn't a bad thing though. Just have to be a bit more subtle and clever if you are JG3.
