BTW Espn is reporting that the guy who came out of the stands was the brother of the injured player.

Wow, you got me. How will I ever recover from such a spelling mistake where you type material?

Peace

Anybody notice that he traveled before the contact? Ends his dribble with right foot down and right foot returned to the floor.

Fabulous observation and a correct one.

Blue 21 does catch the offensive player in the head with his left forearm or elbow as he is raising his arms up to defend the shot attempt. It is the arm with the compression sleeve on it that makes the contact.

Yes, it looked that way.

Peace

I saw the play live. The defender brought his hand up and clipped the shooter in the eye. The foul was called, and a sub shot the FT's.

The brother was on the court during the first FT, which was good, and the officials counted it. I suppose it would have been "disconcerting" had the thrower missed. The C official must have seen him come onto the court, and I was surprised that he didn't suspend play.

It was a little weird. Marquette took their players off the court while security removed the fan.

I think the officials handled the entire situation exactly right.

Perhaps "successful" would be a better choice of words there. The way that it reads now, one gets the impression that the author is expressing the opinion that the brother coming out onto the court during play was a positive thing. Obviously, that is not the case, but the idea is amusing.

PS
I think that opportunities for anyone on here to criticize the diction or sentence structure of mbyron are going to be very rare.

I saw the play on YouTube. The foul was NOT called (I'm not sure there was a foul on the contact in question) but a Providence teammate picked up the loose ball and was fouled in the act of shooting.

Quite honestly, the reaction of the player as he left the floor wasn't much better. it was a freak accident. Evidently, it's a family of hot heads.
