Lookalike & Game thread- #24 ranked/ #18 (NET rankings) Men's bball hosts #27 (NET) Stanford (Boulder, Sat., 2/8, 4:00 PM, Pac 12 Networks)

[Ruckus]

We had a pretty nice game thread here without too many ****posts and then Medford just couldn’t handle it and ****ed it all up.

Bachynski didnt throw an elbow. His elbow was up in Josh's face, but there was no hard contact. The hard contact was Josh hitting the floor.

“I saw how shook up Evan was,’’ Boyle said Sunday. “I told McKinley to get them together. It was spontaneous, not choreographed. Both teams connected.

“Everybody who knows Evan knows how special person he is, a caring human being,’’ said Boyle. “He’s like that in his everyday life. Nobody appreciates being on the basketball court like him.’’

The Boulder crowd continued to cheer. Battey still couldn’t settle down and ultimately had to go into the locker room where his mother met with him to calm him.

Haase said Sunday he has so much respect for Boyle and how he runs his program, saying he does things right.

“Sportsmanship isn’t the right word (for what happened),’’ said Haase. “It was human decency. This was a human story, not sportsmanship. There were real emotions with real people. There was so much high character on both teams.’’

I see no difference between the 2 plays

I think Medford needs to take a lap on this one. Absurd comparison.
A better comparison would be when Ed Rheinhardt was paralyzed in Eugene. Nothing vicious there, just a terribly unfortunate sequence of events.

One massive difference between the two is the reaction of the players and teams after the fact.
