Like at halftime.

Pretty pathetic for what occurred. Should have been more players (at least from UC) and longer suspension. Can't believe coach is backtracking so far from his postgame statements.

An Xavier player referred to himself and his teammates as "gangstas, but not thugs" in the post game press confeence.

I'm willing to bet the moron who said that, if he met some real gangsters, he would piss his pants.

This same player also referred to putting his opponents in body bags (we're going to zip them up).

I had a real problem with Xavier letting those guys even show at the post game press conference. Their coach should have had those guys on lock down. And the guy making the gansta and body bag comment was non other than Tu Holloway, in my view the main instigator of the thing game long. And then, as of right now, he only gets one (1) game??

Cincinnati players apologize for fight that marred game

"No matter what was going on, I'm the older guy on the team. I've been here the longest," Gates said. "I should have grabbed the freshmen instead of going out there and throwing punches."

Ya think?

Maybe in this long thread someone else has mentioned this, but I haven't heard it: Why, especially with the apparent pre-game and DURING game trash talking, and ya got a 23 point game and 9 seconds left are players like Holloway still in the game? Both coaches are now saying officials could have handled it better by whackin a few as game went along, but who keeps some of their starters out there, especially a POY candidate like Holloway who had been the attention getter/seeker, and most likely instigator, of the whole mess? Coaches are at fault here big time, IMO.

I'll give him some points for standing behind his officials, but I think the officials missed behavior that has to be T'ed. One wonders what, short of punches, is required for a T in the A10.
