Frankly surprised at the overreaction from this. At the end of the day, Grant Nelson punched Eli Lufile. I am also not exactly sure why there is all this hand wringing about ORU apologizing? Apologize for WHAT exactly? NDSU hitting one our guys in the face? Punching somebody in the face and then acting like YOU are somehow a victim is clown behavior.

Any ideas what set Lufile off like that? Something happen at the end? He was building a head of steam until Weaver tripped him up. That would have really been a scary scene if he had gotten there. Would have been hard to control those guys on both teams. Was Abmas really still in the game at the end of the game? Now that makes no sense especially playing against walk ons who have a tendency to be bull in china shop types. No real need to still be pressing at the end and can't blame a walk on for trying to score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but so is getting your butt kicked on the road and then prompting a melee during a traditional post-game exercise of sportsmanship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda hard to see, but some others have examined it frame-by-frame like the Zapruder film and say it's there. No confirmation whether Keith Hernandez was spotted spitting on anyone. #Seinfeld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One was bad judgement by a walk-on college student in the heat of battle; the other was by an adult making six figures in postgame. No, not the same at all.

No, not the same at all. I don’t think anyone is upset about the walk on making a layup with 8 seconds left. The unsportsmanlike bush league move was #23 dunking the ball 2 seconds AFTER the buzzer sounded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theeagleman5 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Actually I would not be adverse to chipping in......won a couple hundred last night thanks to the Bison which makes the ORU loss a little easier to take........lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleManiac Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 #23 was dumb, as was their whole bench jumping up and cheering. Should have been scolded by the NDSU coaching staff and it wasn't. Mills should've walked off the floor and used it as bulletin board material for March. Punishment seems a little heavy handed to me, though it's probably reasonable. Honestly, this is a good thing for the Summit League. A bit embarrassing for ORU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, Elijah Lufile and Jamie Bergans from ORU & Grant Nelson and Boden Skunberg will have to sit out the 1st Half of their games tomorrow. Jokes on the Summit League. ORU doesn't show up for the first half anyway 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think many of us realize what a big night this was for NDSU; battle for 2nd Place and all that entails, several seniors plus junior Sam Griesel playing their last home games this weekend, big push all week leading up to pack the house, then playing what they themselves are calling their most complete game of the year. Having their bench players get a taste late was icing on the cake. Emotions running a little too high there at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theeagleman5 Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 TheEagleman doesn't feel embarrassed....in fact, I think it showed we have some life left in us....that was a dismal performance but at least the guys stood up for their coach and took offense when the Bison tried to "spit in our face"....hopefully it motivates our lads....if this doesn't....what will it take???....NDSU was laughing at us at the end......
