Fab Melo, No Class?

[mattotz513]

With the dunk at the end and the foul out?

[marquette09]

and the elbow....

[🏀]

He's never had any.

[ZiggysFryBoy]

more likely no brains.

[Golden Avalanche]

The knock on him has always been intelligence but I didn't see anything wrong with the dunk. MU was still fouling, therefore, game still on.

MU was not fouling.  They had called the dogs off.  Simpkins even pointed it out.

[NCAARules]

MU was not fouling. Buzz had called them off. They started again after that possession.

I'm relieved that Boeheim has found someone who can replace Devendorf as a$$hole in chief. Was worried about his recruiting ability.

[mattotz513]

Buzz was yelling not to foul and all MU players were walking back

Didn't they foul after that dunk?

Or am I remembering a different foul before the dunk?

So glad Devendorf is gone

Buzz called off the D.  MU players were standing still.  Boeheim was not happy with Melo for that.  Really, though, it was the guard that made the pass.

In the end, not that big of deal, though.

[NCAARules]

Yes. They started again after that possession.

[Golden Avalanche]

Yes. They started again after that possession.

I missed some seconds there. I thought it was all continuous play. Douche move then for the Brasilian.

[Da 'Lanche]

I was impressed with Boeheim's class....when Melo got called for the elbow, Boeheim basically looked at him and said "Hey, you elbowed the guy in the face."   Bo would have been tossing napalm at the refs.

[DomJamesToTheBasket]

To be fair, the guy that passed it to Melo is also a DOUCHE.

[MUEng92]

He struck me as extremely immature.  Boehiem looked like he was a disappointed father pointing out how dumb both the elbow and the dunk each time he came off the court after those plays.  He better hope he doesn't go up against someone as immature as him or he may get taken out at the knees and really regret it.

[🏀]

To be fair, the guy that passed it to Melo is also a DOUCHE.

He was getting some defensive pressure, he had to pass. Melo should have passed it as well.

He's an idiot. He will go down as a waste of talent and become nothing with his attributes.

[ecompt]

He will leave Syracuse after this year with his 10 credits.

[RJax55]

He's an idiot. He will go down as a waste of talent and become nothing with his attributes.

I already feel for the NBA fans who's team decides to throw-away a lottery pick on him.

[wojosdojo]

... and the swats at the ball after the whistle. This year and last. Douche.

[MUMac]

Wasn't he the one that should have had a T in the NCAA game against MU last year?

[mug644]

Surprised that there is no comment yet about DJO's response to Melo's dunk. He completely attacked the lane and shouldered into Melo, with Melo being called for the foul. DJO, in my mind, was 'retaliating' for the dunk, and the two seemed to have words after Melo's foul.

No love lost between the two.

[cornbread]

it's something that you all say fab melo has no class. the kid didn't do anything intentional. we fought hard and lost, face it. no shame in that. but to attack their players for playing hard is pretty sour. from what i've read before our game with syracuse, it seems fab melo is actually a really nice kid who has put in alot of work to be able to play like he does this year. don't be sore losers, you make us all look bad.

[cornbread]

yeah, you're a funny guy. i'm a "troll" because i tell it like i see it. we need alot of work to be a top team and there is still time. but i'm not gonna sugar coat anything. if that makes me a troll, better get used to it. watch the game again, you'll see our guys, mainly crowder and djo, pushing the syracuse players from behind under the basket. many times in the second half, not just a couple, but many times. get over it clown, we aren't that good this year without otule.

[ATL MU Warrior]

I don't know what you guys expected a 7-footer to do when he gets the ball under his own basket.  Is he going to dribble it out and risk turning it over?  Wait for someone to come and foul him and make him shoot free throws?  ANY big guy in that position is going to do what he did.  Every time. 

I'm certainly no Fab Melo fan but I don't find that dunk objectionable at all.  The elbow to Wilson's chin...another story.  Hard to tell from the replay but that was probably intentional
