Baylor lost. Period. Nothing else to it. Don't foul a guy while he's shooting a 3 pointer. Or here's one for ya....make your freethrows and BU wins. Stop with this bullshit. Baylor lost. Period.

It was sportsmanship that kept a young Blake Griffin from bashin' his face in.

]]> Comment on SPORTS ADDICT: The real reason OU beat BU in Norman is due to awful officiating and straight-up cheating… by Rohit http://www.dfnsports.com/big12/2008/02/20/sports-addict-the-real-reason-ou-beat-bu-in-norman-is-due-to-awful-officiating-and-straight-up-cheating%e2%80%a6/#comment-433 Rohit Thu, 21 Feb 2008 02:25:03 +0000 http://www.dfnsports.com/big12/2008/02/20/sports-addict-the-real-reason-ou-beat-bu-in-norman-is-due-to-awful-officiating-and-straight-up-cheating%e2%80%a6/#comment-433 This article is not even worthy of more time than I have wasted reading it. I am writing this comment just to convey the fact that every radical point the author makes has an actual reason behind it as some people have mentioned above. Nobody cheated; if they did the Baylor team would be going crazy right now and there would be a story on ESPN. Call it what you want, but every game has fouls that go both ways and both teams are upset about. The author is just an upset Baylor fan who after an amazing game came out on the wrong end. The way to vent that frustration though is not to call the opposing team and coach classless and make comments as to why they are bad people and supposedly have huge egos. I find it hard to believe that you even watch basketball due to your criticism of the off the back board dunk, I have seen that a million times with so many other teams, big dunks and plays are part of the game, open your eyes and you would see that. Also watch the highlight of the three point shot Tony Crocker took in overtime and look at Bruce’s reaction right as the whistle is blown, he hunches over in a ‘I cant believe I fouled him’ stance, not with his arms out to the side like he had no idea where the call came from. How could that play even make you think that the game was set? If it was set up it wouldn’t have come down to overtime and defiantly not down to 7.3 seconds and then again at 1 second on the clock. You win some you lose some, and as I recall Baylor did beat A&M at their house in five overtimes which was the greatest game so far this season. Take a few days and relax there will be more games, more chances for your team to come out on top, but seriously targeting a coach and players is the wrong way to do it after all they did was play as hard as they could.

Please don't pretend to be a real journalist and trot out garbage like this. Oklahoma won a physical game fair and square. Mark Shepherd made a terrible error in judgement and got tossed for it. Hopefully he will have learned a lesson. As a lifelong Baylor fan this article is amateurish and embarrassing to our school.

This may not be the most positive of comments, I have certainly had to delete several rude things directed at Denton, but I love the passion of fans of college sports, and had the tables been turned it may be different. I have seen this kind of game on both side in my years of being a fan, writer, administrator and more and I will never discourage fans from being fans. That i the whole point of our site anyway - Big12-FANS.com which is the owner of this blog's content. I do encourage fans to write for our site.

If you defend this type of writing on your site then don't expect to have many people visiting, except perhaps complete Baylor Bear homers. The only reason I came here was to witness this travesty first hand. Is this how you encourage your stringers to contribute? Try finding someone with a basketball IQ higher than the BU fouls per game. The writer of this article should never be allowed to write again.

What's that you can clearly hear? Yeap. That's Baylor's headcoach screaming "BOX OUT, BOX OUT" right before the OU player is about to release his shot. Pefectly legal? I think so. Does that construe bad bench decorum? Maybe, since it clearly was timed to attempt to affect the OU player's concentration b/c the home crowd gets quiet when their players are shooting FTs. So what's so unsportsmanlike for a coach to urge their crowd to make noise? Maybe you could go ask Mulkey. She does it all of the time. At least she doesn't scream something at the opponent's player getting ready to shoot a FT.
