And compounding it he did a flop trying to make Liddell look like he took a cheap shot at him in the process.
he didn't flop when someone throws an elbow at you one is inclined to duck it, if he didn't go down, he would have got hit in the head, and I'm not sure he grabbed him in the lucy he was trying to get a jump ball and they came down at a weird angle, X does a lot of dumb shit but you all are over blowing this.
Let me make sure I understand what happened.
unless Liddell's nuts are the size of basketballs... should be easy to tell the difference.
he didn't grab his nuts; he went for the ball his hand was under his Croutch, whole thing happened in less than than a second, then Lindell swung at him
natural reaction when someone grabs your nuts is to swing
That was my take, but several here saw it as a straight up nut grab. I expect the PUkes to say that but several here disagreed with me and I want to make sure I am not missing something.
I agree and it appears the way I describe but if I am wrong, I am wrong, but I don't see anything or see any logic to back up your version.
I suppose his general behavior could be cited as evidence of the great downfall of Big Ten basketball. Honesty compels me to listen more closely to the argument after last night.
IU loses
have plenty of things to do today before I breakdown film on EJ Lidells nuts, it was a bang bang play but I find it hard to believe X decided to fondle another man at that point of the game
It wasn’t that he “might” have found himself accidentally in that position. It was what he did once he undoubtedly realized where he was.
if you watched him play, I have a hard time believing his decision making is that quick. in a split second he found his hand on some nuts and said what the hell ill have a squeeze before exit. hell, it took him 6 seconds to get up the court and shoot a contested shot
It wasn’t a squeeze. It was an upward forearm rake with extreme prejudice, followed by a plea for a foul on the victim. Bad look, extremely bad look.
whole thing is stupid, you watch lucys and nuts ill watch basketball, you probably like track and field I have to assume
He wanted so badly to make eye contact as well
This might be the best debate ever on this forum.
Intentional nut grab or not, XJ's obviously a whack job, which is bad news for this team, because he's the only guy capable of imitating a capable point guard. Please, nobody say "Rob". I've hoped for the best for him, because he's been very good at times. Now I think as long as he's here, we're going to have a bipolar team. Have to go with the true freshman next year, perhaps with some Loewe (Minnesota) type thrown in as a transfer. That won't be pretty either, but XJ's a time bomb waiting to go off.
It is BS but Davison does it every game. He hits the screener in the nuts . There’s a video out there that shows this. Not a 30 second clips but a 1 min video of a guy tired of his sh!t. Lol
This seemed clear to me as well after seeing the photo. Unless he has Hanner Pereas wingspan, he could never get to the ball. Pretty clear nut shot and swinging by Liddell would be considered a natural reaction in my book.
He literally has tons of film on his dirty play and the B1G/refs don’t give a sh!t. He’s going to get guys hurt.
B1G issued a statement and I’m pretty sure he got a suspension last season. He’s toned it down if you can believe that.
I hope Woody has the balls to tell him there isn’t a spot for him next year. He had a minimum of 5 games left with IU and I will be surprised if he doesn’t cause more negativity towards the team.
I think Woody likes him. Had absolutely nothing negative to say about him or his game.
Someone didn’t see the many posts calling him out for this thuggish behavior. It’s crazy Brad and Gard haven’t got suspended for their thuggish antics.
That's totally dirty, in all my years I've never seen anybody adapt it as a strategy to get around screens, but ya know, Trey Young has made a NBA career out of offensive arm barring fouls, he'll probably only stop it till they start calling it. Hate both, but some of the victims reactions in this video are kind of hilarious. And that should be like a flagarant 10
