Northwestern mocks Keisei Tominaga after 3 pointers

[huskerick]

a couple of times. Keisei is often animated after he shoots a successful 3-point shot. His excitement is organic. Two different NW players thought it was important to imitate Tominaga. To me, it's on the Northwestern coach and players. In football, it'd be a 15 yard penalty for taunting! I just lost a lot of respect for the "smart school" in the conference!
Go Big Red!

Meh, if other teams had guys doing what Keisei does, a chunk of our fanbase would call him a hotdog and applaud our players if one or two of them mocked him while kicking his ass

They’re not a “smart school” when it comes to athletics. If they actually stuck to their own admission standards for athletes they wouldn’t ever be competitive in the B1G.

That’s what pisses me off about schools like Stanford, Michigan, Northwestern and Duke. They tout their ability to recruit despite their “high admission” standards when everyone knows those standards don’t apply to their scholarship athletes. If you’re a top recruit and you can manage to graduate from HS Michigan will get you in, period.

Good grief. Toughen up. Go root for Texas so you can cry about the horns-down hand gesture if you need to stir up unnecessary drama.

Meh, taunting is part of the game. It goes both ways. Back it up on the court.

Tominaga plays with a lot of emotion and he should expect a little payback from time to time. I doubt he has any complaints about what the NW players did.

Michigan lets players in that don't meet the standards. NW really doesn't.

And Tominaga might have an organic energy after making a shot but I mean, come on.

Yep-thus the admissions scandal where actors/actresses kid were fake athletes in minor sports to get into big schools….

Yep, and if you are going to play with that kind of emotion you need to back it up most nights and the road is going to be an ugly place for you.

This is what made you lose respect for NW?

 

[huskerfan1414]

We would hate tomimaga’s antics if he played for someone else.

Sure but you are talking about a super tiny % of the student population in that very specific example.

By the way, that documentary on that scandal is awesome!

Since when do the official call a taunting personal foul in football anymore? Except on Nebraska

Redmich is using a new troll tactic. 😏

 

[dinglefritz]

Classic. Redmich responding to his original troll posting.

 

[ridge22]

Stop Asian hate!

 

[salsa red]

Its players talking trash, don't think coach has any say on it. If NW players came out and said that Keisei's mom was a bad driver, then the coach would probably have to say something.

 

[Suhrreal]

I like it because it means Keisei got into these guys' heads.

Just win.

Go on....

Operation Varsity Blues: The College Admissions Scandal

It is on Netflix. Really good and it uses all the FBI wiretaps so it is pretty much spot on.

 

[Anegada1]

My dad always told me, " Don't dish it out if you can't take it " . always been good advice.

Exactly. I didn't like it when, on the road, keisei did the old shhhh thing to the crowd.....of course we lost. Better be able to backup your antics or actions
