Quote : | "CHEAP SHOT HALL OF SHAME Talk about a bad trend: Every year at this time, a college player feels the need to throw a premeditated punch at an opponent's groin. Some coaches say these painful invasions of privacy were more prevalent in the days before the rampant televising of games, but The Minutes has seen enough to be left queasy the last three Marches. A recent groin puncher's history:
• 2004: LeVar Seals (33) of DePaul jacks Cincinnati's Tony Bobbitt (34) in the jewels during the Conference USA tournament final, prompting a torrent of Bobbitt jokes from the always sympathetic media. Bobbitt returns to the game to hit several big shots and further run his mouth, which might have been what got him into trouble to begin with.
• 2005: Chris Paul (35) goes low on North Carolina State's Julius Hodge (36), then scores the winning basket in dramatic fashion. It was a pyrrhic victory, though, costing Paul a game in the ACC Tournament and helping Wake Forest lose a No. 1 NCAA Tournament seed.
• 2006: George Mason's Tony Skinn (37) lands a quick right jab to the private parts of Hofstra guard Stokes in the final minute of their Colonial Athletic Association semifinal. Skinn owned up to it, and the Patriots have suspended him for their next game -- which could knock them out of the NCAA Tournament. George Mason is a bubble team, and its credentials are lessened without the team's No. 2 scorer and No. 2 assist man.
Guys, keep your hands to yourself. Or prepare for an afterlife in Hades of falling split-legged on a balance beam." |

no it was chris. he ran the entire floor and got the shot off in 3 seconds. that's why i was so pissed. he should have been ejected in the first half.

but he got suspended for the next game so it was a blessing in disguise 3/9/2006 10:43:24 AM |

yeah but he may have been suspended from that game anyway, plus you can't just assume we would have lost that time had he played. 3/9/2006 1:42:07 PM |

wait
wake forest would have been a #1 seed in the NCAAs? 3/9/2006 1:47:32 PM |

yeah, if they had won that game they would likely have been a 1 seed. almost definitely a 1-seed if they beat us and won 1 more 3/9/2006 1:48:45 PM |
