RichmondRedskin88 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 So Georgetown had 28 fouls by halftime for the Chinese team's 11? Is that correct? I'm sure that could have something to do with people blaming the Hoyas for this brawl. hold up VCU fans know all about that foul crap. We get the short end of the stick at home all the time with refs. Its not unheard of for a ref to call stuff completely unfair. There's a ref still banned from reffing our conference because of the crap he pulled in one of our games a few years ago. He called 6 fouls in 30 secs and caused a fight. Trust me fouls are not good indication. I've seen games of 20 fouls on each team. That mean other the teams are being physical or the ref is ticky tacky.

Skins_Fan82 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 one of the chinese players prbably whispered in a GTown player's ear: "we own your debt. your states are belong to us, black boy." and the dude flipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonArtest15 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Video http://videos.sportsgrid.com/embed/player/container/630/450/?r=733122357632964.9&content=F8M5112NKR7S7H2V&widget_type_cid=svp&read_more=1&referrer=http://www.sportsgrid.com/ncaa-basketball/video-georgetown-basketball-team-brawls-in-china/# About :19 in, a G-Town player is on the floor getting molly whooped.... Such an UGLY scene. From what I've been reading, the game was one-sided (from fouls being called) and many of the Chinese players were on edge....one even got in the face of JT3. Unbelievable. Hopefully, G-Town got out of there with nothing but a few bumps and bruises. Situation looks as though it could have been much worse. Police didn't do anything, opposing players/coaches did nothing to calm the situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulane Skins Fan Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 I will just say that the Big East in general, and Georgetown inclusive, plays a very physical brand of basketball. Compared to international basketball, it probably does seem to the other teams like Georgetown is playing Hockey not Bball. Or, the refs could have been cheating for the greater glory of China.

Yeah, I'd like to know which it is. The account from a Georgetown fan makes it sound clearly like the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is coming from a pseudo-Hoya fan too. There's a reason they upped the fouls to 6 in the BE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HailinginSeattle Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Georgetown has always been a thuggish program. This news is not surprising. Ignorant comment...How so, please explain ALWAYS... have you seen the video??? I have and it was the Chinese who started throwing blows, rushed the court, threw chairs, and were jumping the Hoyas.

CrypticVillain Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 Looking at the video, it looks like that the Georgetown player threw the first punch......... HOWEVER, it was after the Chinese player almost clotheslining him when he was trying to steal the ball. I get it, Georgetown hasn't been the most classiest program, but that was almost two decades ago. The team, as of lately, has been okay. Obviously the fix was in. Calls were almost exclusively going against Georgetown. Opposing players getting in JT3's face. They were trying to punk a team from the Capital of America and they went overboard with it. Can we please stop this nonsense of blaming Georgetown. It is ridiculous......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiCkSoULjA Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 WOW those Chinese guys destroyed us!! It was like 4 of them to 1 of our guys. A serious beat down. The way they rushed it was almost like it was planned like the coach put them on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RonArtest15 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 What exactly has G-Town done to be labeled a "thuggish" program? Baseless comment from Bubble Screen, IMO. Also, take into consideration that the Chinese players are MILITARY men..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin'Em84 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Yeah, looks like Hoya lost his temper after getting fouled hard (with no call), threw a punch, then got bum rushed by four Bayi(?) players and stomped on the ground. Poor reaction by both sides. More upset with the Chinese team than the American team though. Tempers get lost..when someone gets punched in an NBA/NCAA game, it usually doesn't clear the bench. Is this normal in China for a fight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They play aggressive full court man-to-man... when Duke or a Bob Knight coached team does it, it's hustle defense. When Georgetown does it, it's thuggish.

abdcskins Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Chinese people are thugs. I hate that Chinese team, 4 on 1? Fight like a man you chumps. We should go to war with China over this. Let's go Hoyas! This has got me psyched up for the season. I want that Chinese team to come to the United States so we can throw bottles at them. Stupid maggots.

They play aggressive full court man-to-man... when Duke or a Bob Knight coached team does it, it's hustle defense. When Georgetown does it, it's thuggish. To me, it's the reputation of the conference (right or wrong) that doesn't help Gtown in this situation. I wouldn't call them thuggish at all, but I would call them VERY physical which can really get under the skin of the opposition. I'm willing to concede that this fight wasn't their fault, but I earlier in the day it wouldn't have shocked me if they were at fault. The way much of the Big East plays is different than "full court man-to-man" defense. The Big East is like the 1990s Knicks/Pacers series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichmondRedskin88 Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 VCU plays full court press. We get some fouls from it whether that be we actually fouled or the player falls over in distress and the ref calls it a foul. Generally full court is aggressive because its trying to speed up the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSilverMaC Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 It looks like it wasn't just a U.S basketball team that got into it in china: http://www.npr.org/blogs/itsallpolitics/2011/08/18/139753018/biden-china-visit-literally-sees-push-come-to-shove-in-u-s-sino-relations In what may be metaphors for the ever edgier U.S.-China relationship, two high-profile American visits to Beijing were marred by pushing and in one case actual fighting between representatives of the U.S. and Chinese.One incident involved pushing and shoving between U.S. and Chinese officials at an appearance by Vice President Biden who's on an official visit to China partly to reassure officials there about U.S. finances. The other was a serious fight that broke out during to the Georgetown University men's basketball team during, of all things, a goodwill game Thursday. During an event at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, U.S. reporters and members of the vice president's staff got into a shoving match with Chinese officials while Biden delivered brief remarks nearby. Biden had just received welcoming words from his Chinese counterpart, Vice President Xi Jinping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
