If that 'fan' was being ignorant, I have no problem with Smart's actions. How about we start holding fans accountable for their behavior? I'm so sick of hearing 'be the bigger man' or 'turn the other cheek' - FOH. You want to cross the line, fine. Just be ready to deal with the consequences when the shit gets real.

At least Smart didn't cry unlike that black italian soccer player.

I agree. Fans cross the line too much with these athletes. Sadly, most of these fans know the athletes really can't do much about it.

If he dropped the N word on him.. I can kind of understand why that would set off Smart.. but the audio they played of this, and everyone's account of what happened say the guy just called him a piece of crap. Not even a piece of shit.. a piece of crap.

If that's what set Marcus Smart off, dude is going to have a really rough career from here on out.. and the best way to shut up a heckling fan on the road isn't to shove them in the face... make a big play of some sort and that will shut them up better than anything else.

Definitely a home court call against Syracuse.

RMU update (because I know Pitty is dying for one with how bad Pitt is):

The Colonials won their fourth straight game last night with a 69-61 victory over Mount St. Mary's. RMU is now 16-11 overall and 11-1 in the NEC, one game ahead of second (technically two, but the Colonials swept the season series with Bryant and hold the tiebreaker - plus Bryant has played two games less than RMU due to the winter storm).

There's not a doubt in my mind that this will be the last season for Andy Toole in Moon Township. Dealt with four suspensions and two players leaving the program, Toole has excelled with his best coaching job yet, leading a team with just eight scholarship guys to nearly an undefeated conference mark (a one-point loss to CCSU being the lone blemish). The team has adjusted from its usual man-to-man principles to exclusively a 2-3 zone defense and have excelled in it, even though the roster has just one player over 6'6" (Stephen Hawkins - 6'10").

Karvel Anderson is one of two overwhelming favorites for NEC Player of the Year (along with Alex Francis of Bryant), even though he struggled yesterday. Anderson is averaging 18.8 PPG while making 51.6% from the field (47.0% 3PT, 78.9% FT) and has gone over 25 points four times, including a ridiculous 36-point effort at Sacred Heart on 15-19 shooting. Prior to last night, his eFG% (8th - 65.2), TS% (14th - 66.8), and ORtg (18th - 132.3) all ranked in the top 20 nationally.

Remaining schedule:
- 2/20 vs. LIU-Brooklyn (7:00 PM)
- 2/22 vs. St. Francis Brooklyn (4:00 PM)
- 2/27 @ Fairleigh Dickinson (7:00 PM)
- 3/1 @ Wagner (4:00 PM)

Maryland fucking sucks this year.

Can't wait till next year

Karvel Anderson scored 26 points (8-10 FG, 5-5 3PT, 5-6 FT) tonight, all in the second half, to push RMU over LIU-Brooklyn, 73-64. The Colonials trailed by 16 at one point in the second half and lost their tallest player to an ankle injury, forcing a rotation of a 6'5" guy and a 6'4" player at the 5 spot.

Most exciting player in the nation.
