The slap heard around Syracuse

[two3zone]

Uncalled for, immature, and selfish. It’s your 6th college game and it’s inexcusable.

 

[CuseCPT]

He's got swagger, but he needs to learn to control it.

Hes young. But there wasn’t much there to slap the kid. Even if the kid didn’t retaliate he was getting tossed. Just inexcusable, but hopefully a learning moment.

 

[grepal]

Not smart, Freshman is not an excuse. That is an ejection at all levels and a beat down on the playground.

 

[Zelda Zonk]

He’s an emotional player. I said before that he flexes so hard after a strong play that he might pop. This slap thing… I’ll bet it’s entirely out of character. Everything we thought we knew about him as a recruit—top notch individual.

Same with Buddy last year. The best people can do the dumbest things. We will remember this and we can’t excuse it, but we’re going to have to put it away. He’ll grow from here, and make us proud.

 

[Gotothehole]

Buddy punched someone think he was a senior

Love Judah but its late November, early in the season and we are already playing for our tournament lives and you do that when your team needs you, just unfortunate thats all im gonna say

“…our tournament lives”—???

Which tournament is that?

Ha, well i was holding out hope and hoping the players understood the gravity of our situation

I hearya. Sorry, bro. That was just a bit of friendshipsnark.

Well, there’s one major difference that some subconsciously factor in more than others

I don't think anyone thinks he's a bad kid. Look we loved Devo and SU dealt with his antics. Just need to understand what you need to do and keep your frustrations in check.

I didn't see anything other than the final score. I presume this means Judah is out for Illinois, right? If so, he cost himself a big opportunity to get exposure as that game will be nationally televised.

 

[Orangefan1]

I really think Judah was frustrated and threw his hand up and then got hit in the back of the head idk if Mintz should of been ejected but I got to rewatch it

 

[Scooch]

It was dumb. He’ll learn. Life goes on.

No, he slapped the St Peters kid in the face

I don’t believe so because he was booted in this game.

I thought if you got kicked out of a game you had to miss the next game or the first half of the next game, or something like that. Probably just made that up in my head.

It was a loss of control, but the Bryant player on the floor extended his leg to trip Judah, and the other kid, Edler or whatever his name was, gave him a shove in the back. That's why he slapped him. I think Judah thought he got away with it, when the other kid hit him back, and he didn't react.

I thought it was the other way around. Judah dragged his foot over the guy on the ground. Maybe something precipitated that, but I thought he was just frustrated at the call(s). Wasn’t that a second charge against him? And the first one was a very, very wrong call?

That’s the high school rule. Never heard of that in college though.

Yawn.

 

[two3zone]

Yawn.

Ahhh, so it’s ok what he did. Ok….

 

[Nicknack]

We have so many other problems than this. Hate to see Judah slapping a kid and getting ejected but man, we continue to sink as a program, game by game for so many other reasons. It's just sad. Really is. I'll keep watching, cheering, and hoping, but good lord.
