Subject: Violence in BBall

Did anyone else see the start of the Vermont/Northeastern game yesterday. The NE star, Barea, clearly slugged with a closed fist a VT player who was on the ground in a scrum for the ball. The announcers had it played back several times and there was no doubt of the act or that it was blatantly intentional. The VT player had a welt on his face. The refs watched the play on replay and issued a warning to Barea. The announcers said he should have been thrown out regardless of the fact that he was NE's best player. Rulings as this one give rise to vigilanteeism (spelling). I did not see the entire game so I do not know if VT retaliated, I hope so.

VT is Virginia Tech. UVM is Vermont. And yes, I would have liked to seen Barea tossed for playing like a punk. Judging from the final score NE got bitch slapped and UVM got the last shot in. (NT) -- Road Map ... Final 4, Sun March 13, 2005 12:28:02
barea sprained an ankle in the 2nd half and was out; watched him in worcester, definitely needed an attitude adjustment. Appeared the coach just didn't know what to do with his "star" (NT) -- hvsader, Sun March 13, 2005 12:35:13
- he should transfer to Temple (NT) -- frank, Sun March 13, 2005 15:25:45
"sports don't build character, they reveal it." -- this guy is obviously a trashy dude, just like watching chris paul throw a punch below the belt and a-rod slap at arroyo, in the heat of the moment true character is revealed, and those guys have none.

- Very insightful quote. (NT) -- DamnRam, Mon March 14, 2005 09:28:44
