Gtown Fight vs. Chinese Team

[robmufan]

Looks like the refs better call a fair game, or Gtown might have to choke a b*tch...

Sounds like the Hoyas got the Chinese knock-off referee version of Burr & Higgins?

[WarriorHal]

At first, I figured this was probably caused by Gtown playing aggressive, physical defense and things getting out of hand. Instead, it's just another example of commie bastards trying to "win" by cheating--same as the Soviets in the '72 Olympics.

Video of it...I'd say the Chinese team were definitely the aggressors...don't get me wrong, GU shares blame, but I think this isn't nearly as bad if the Chinese team doesn't gang up first on the GU guy on the baseline

Teams can do these foreign tours every few years.  Our guys have gone to Costa Rica and Canada in the recent past.

Dear Students,

Someone please make a sign for the GU game "Beware the Chair" written in Mandarin (or something more humorous since I'm not that funny).

Thank You.

Definitely chinese player's fault it seems...can't really blame em (GU)

[MUMac]

Wow, that looked scary.  You could see the Chinese player come running at the GU player and then the GU player goes flying backwards.  That started the melee.  Add to that, the chairs were being thrown and used as weapons by THE PLAYERS from China.

If I were GU, I would say we are done with the tour.

That is the problem with a lot of the international tours.  The games are refereed in a biased way (being kind here) and you have security risk with both the players and fans. 

This looked very scary.

Do you think that if this happened in Al's era, he would have left them get their licks in and THEN step in?

The discrepancy in fouls definitely reeks foul, but having the chips against you also, using a Buzz term, reveals the character of your team.

The Hoyas sure could have used Allen Iverson for that game.

Fouls are one thing.  As it sounds, by reading some of the commentary and watching this clip, it was not the fouls that was problematic.  It was the physical nature and abuse of the fouls that caused the issues.

That escalated quickly huh? I mean that really got out of hand fast.

[sgurgs]

i was at the duke-china national (second) team game yesterday, refs called it close (and you got the feeling they were "protecting" the Chinese side), but called a better game than the georgetown game - 28 GU fouls to 11 Bayi.

Lived in China for a year now and that is simply how they fight here. It doesn't matter how big and strong you are, it is all about numbers. Any fight in a bar and you better clear out because some dude and 20 of his buddies will be stabbing everyone within reach with broken bottles in a hot second. Every fight is a life or death situation, scary stuff.

Scary stuff indeed, I bet it was a little bit frightening...those cats were fast as lightening. Everybody was kung fu fighting, I bet.

I finally watched the video.  That's some seriously scary crap.  Hopefully the GTown boys are alright.
