One of the best rivalries in college basketball ended with 9 seconds left in the game, a dominant 76-53 win for Xavier over Cincinnati . However, This game will be rememberd for the big brawl that took place at the end of the game , that will result in players getting suspended. Some players could and should receive multiple games.
This was truly an embarrassment for the college game.
It all started when Xavier’s All-American player Tu Holloway and Cincinnati’s Ge’Lawn Guyn where jawing at each other face to face. Then a Xavier player pushed Guyn away then all the players just went crazy.
While most of the players where just pushing and shouting at each other. There were two disturbing incidents that I have saw so far on tape.
Cincinnati star center Yancy Gates throw a punch to the face of Xaiver’s Kenny Frease. The punch left Frease bloody.
Then after Frease was down Cincinnati’s Cheikh Mbodj stomp on Frease while he was on the ground, also a big no no.
Check out the videos here.
I am sure more actions from the fight yet not seen will be reviewed.
As both the Big East and Atlantic 10 review the indecent I am sure players from both team will face suspensions. Gates for sure should get multiple games.
This was a horrible way to end a great win for Xavier. My only question is why was Xavier star players in at the end of the game especially in a blowout.
