Wait, that is what everyone was talking about?

Viva Campeche

It was pretty mild. Atiki probably deserved a technical, but not an ejection.

Indy Coug

1/21/22 3:19pm

No I watched it. He should have been ejected.

SouthernBlueBlood

1/21/22 3:20pm

We all just watched it. It should be a T, but ejection probably right under

Plato

1/21/22 3:25pm

As soon as I watched replay I knew he was gone. He earned it. Thems the rules.

dave

1/21/22 4:29pm

By the rule, I agree. It is a learning experience for Atiki.

rockyrd

1/21/22 3:31pm

Because basketball is so soft

YIsForBrigham

1/21/22 3:24pm

Ejection was unwarranted, no contest.

Mitty

1/21/22 3:43pm

Should have been ejected. No doubt. You can't deliver a forearm to the face and

LifeLongLakerFan

1/21/22 4:00pm

Maybe if he shoved him lower

JAK

1/21/22 6:32pm

It all looks pretty natural to me. I don't even think Atiki was going for the head, just happened to be taller.

mokelembembe

1/21/22 3:20pm

Not sure about "natural" but agreed he was just going for a pretty harmless

Trent

1/21/22 3:26pm

If those guys were the same height, would've been nothing.

Mitty

1/21/22 3:44pm

With great power comes great responsibility ... he clocked him in the head

runnincoug

1/21/22 4:18pm

I thought there was a different angle that looked worse, but yeah. He was taller

fbguru

1/21/22 3:26pm

No it doesn’t. But he’s young- so I’m not upset. He just needs to control his

SouthernBlueBlood

1/21/22 3:19pm

Yep. Punks like Wayne Mckinney are looking to get a reaction.

HuskerFan2

1/21/22 3:30pm

And our punk was gracious to deliver. He's a keeper.

SinkingQuffa

1/21/22 7:57pm

Going after No. 3 like that was ridiculous and dumb by Atiki.

Ham

1/21/22 3:20pm

He was justified in thinking the kid ran after him

Coop

1/21/22 3:22pm

I'm not sure what the USD player intended, but I think a reasonable interpretation for Atiki in the heat

Indy Coug

1/21/22 3:24pm

Agree not to use forearm, but the other player actually ran towards him.

Blue for Life

1/21/22 3:23pm

3 was mugging Barcelo all game...pushing shoving etc... Should have fouled out.

sfeuz

1/21/22 3:37pm

Yes, 3 was a punk the entire night. I support atiki all the way

Turnpike Lane

And, he didn't go after him, so...

Mitty

1/21/22 3:45pm

Love the passion, need to control the anger.

BYUtka

1/21/22 3:23pm

The forearm shiver: an 8.6

SinkingQuffa

1/21/22 3:24pm

What was the optimal outcome by #3 here?

RSwanson

1/21/22 3:26pm

He got the optimal. They got to shoot a FT and Atiki got kicked out.

bluesloth

1/21/22 3:32pm

He scored 4 points off that. 2 FTs and than a layup on that play after.

sfeuz

1/21/22 3:39pm

Plus we lost the ball

Vegasjohn

1/21/22 4:04pm

I didn't think it was that bad but the ejection is per the rule. He could have

pinolero

1/21/22 3:28pm

The people who say it wasn't a flagrant 2 don't understand the rules

downtownchrisbrown

1/21/22 7:28pm

First time I’ve seen it. The SD guy got up off the floor and came at Atiki.

Brigham

1/21/22 3:31pm

That's what I see as well. Angled his head and body in a direction he didn't

Mitty

1/21/22 3:46pm

I wouldn't characterize it that way. I don't see any intent to engage Atiki, ...

CougaReb

1/21/22 4:30pm

That’s interesting you see it that way

Vegasjohn

1/21/22 7:00pm

RE: I wouldn't characterize it that way. I don't see any intent to engage Atiki,

epcoug

1/21/22 8:07pm

I love the fight! I’d rather see the occasional ejection than watch our guys…

Zastava

1/21/22 3:31pm

Atiki deserved to be ejected but the San Diego player got up went right towards

Oldcougfan

1/21/22 3:32pm

Nope. Double techs and that is it. Ejection is weak. No punch. Nothing close. Forearm to keep the kid away.

Turnpike Lane

1/21/22 3:38pm

This... should have been. I was surprised #3 got away with it.

sfeuz

1/21/22 3:46pm

It was at his face, though. Forearms are a closed fist in my book.

SinkingQuffa

1/21/22 3:52pm

Watching that tells me a few things:

stenso

1/21/22 3:35pm

Agree, I see absolutely no reason for concern here. Freshman moment with the

Mitty

1/21/22 3:48pm

Those are kind of my takeaways too.

Eddie

1/21/22 3:49pm

So the SD player comes at him, of course you'll be ready with a forearm

Samuel Hall Society

1/21/22 4:14pm

I think you described that perfectly.

YSMACK

1/21/22 4:35pm

By rule, he absolutely deserved the ejection

BlueTemplar

1/21/22 5:27pm

Pretty weak for ejection. Refs suck

BYU4eVeR

1/21/22 4:25pm

Yup, refs should have taken control earlier. I blame it on them.

sfeuz

1/21/22 4:57pm

I went to the fights and a hockey game broke out

calbearcoug

1/21/22 5:27pm

Looked like self defense to me. The San Diego player was coming after him.

pittsburghcoug

1/21/22 5:57pm

They both moved toward each other. Neither man retreated.

charles

1/21/22 6:30pm

Meh, flagrant and move on with game
