(6,286 posts)was bad, but so was the ensuing foul called on the baseline floor, as well as Withey not picking up his 5th foul when he intentionally fouled the ISU player. The whole thing just reeked. Obviously that's no excuse for anything the aforementioned ISU fan did.

(6,286 posts)ISU got absolutely jobbed by the refs at the end of regulation, but man, some people need to get perspective.
On edit: As for the guy dunking at the end of the game when they were up big, the first thing he did at the postgame press conference was apologize to ISUs coach. He said he got caught up in the moment and that he regretted it. He said it without being prompted and he sounded sincere to me.

(96,793 posts)ISU had one of the longest home game winning streaks in college basketball going into the game. They really expected to win. But this racial crap and death threats is a bit much.

(17,863 posts)I don't think it is typical of ISU students. I have absolutely no interest in basketball, but these language and threats are completely ridiculous.
