nice job of making a post on his after Jon deleted all of them last night....
did you really thin no one else posted about this?

Where the **** is atomic today? He should be pumped after actually seeing some actual body slamming last night.
If Valentine hadn't gotten right over there and pulled Trice out, I think Trice's mouth might have escalated the situation to something like that very quickly.
I think this most is monumental when discussing the differences between the gap between the two programs. Maybe I'm crazy, but I saw a number of leaders on the floor that took control of the team and their players on the MSU sideline. I didn't see guys like Valentine on the Iowa sideline.
Theres a reason why Izzo's has yet to have a senior class graduate without making a final 4. Its a leadership that starts with the coach and is passed on to the players. Not a shot at Iowa, but I don't see the leadership on the floor for the Hawkeyes the way I see it with MSU whether its coming from the coaches or the players themselves.
You know, it's funny, most people on here have been biatching and moaning that we aren't physical or tough enough, and then when someone FINALLY steps up and knocks a punk MSU player around they are appalled. LOL..where has that aggressiveness been all year? I, for one, loved it, and I'm not even a McCabe fan. I just wish they played more physical earlier in the year as we might have a few more wins.

Please. McCabe wasn't playing physical. He got frustrated because the game was already decided and pulled a cheap shot that happened to be pretty physical. Waiting until the end to push back is hardly commendable. Push back right away and make it clear you aren't going to just take that ********. Play the same kind of physical defense that MSU was playing; take their game and shove it right back in their faces. But that's not what McCabe did.
So you don't see a fine line between cheap and physical/agressive? Interesting.

You don't see a leg sweep as being cheap? Are you slow?There is, but I didn't see it as cheap, that's the difference.
Umm really for one I haven't seen a ton of complaints about us being physical.. especially since we have been a dominating rebounding team for most of the year.
Also physical play refers to actual play in a basketball game... not sideline dead ball arm and leg wresting.
I played against a few teams in basketball and football growing up that would fight or push ect.
Usually they tended to be actually not physical at all on the actual playing field.

How is a leg sweep cheap? It's not like he did it when Trice's back was turned. Now, if you want to call it DIRTY, then I can go along with that. But a cheap shot, at least as I understand it, is something done when one isn't expecting it. If Trice is going to go in and mess with a 6'7" 220 pound former football player when he's, maybe, a buck twenty soaking wet, then don't ***** when you get planted. But it's not like McCabe jacked him in the face when he wasn't looking.
The play was dirty and clearly outside the bounds of good basketball sportsmanship, but it wasn't cheap.
You think he was expecting to be thrown just because they were tied up? People get tied up on literally every other possession in basketball.How is a leg sweep cheap?
