It was reported yesterday that Demarcus Cousins punched a South Carolina fan when he was leaving the court after Tuesday's game. A student named "Stephen" reported to a South Carolina reporter that he received a "chicken wing" as Boogie was leaving the court. I'm really getting tired of Cousins getting a bad wrap about his temper. I'll take his passion on the floor any day of the week!
So what does all this mean? It means there's a student and a reporter that declare that Boogie hit "Stephen". I don't know about you, but I find it hard to believe this happened. I think at best, the student was rushing the floor and ran into Cousins.
Here's a video of the incident....
I really don't see how this story even got legs.. It's ridiculous!
From the beginning of the season Demarcus has been dubbed as a loose cannon and someone who needs to keep his emotions in check. I'm of the opinion that Cousins is just passionate about the team and his play. That may be a reason he's one of a handful of players that seems to always come to play.
What do you think? Is cousins immature and a loose cannon or is he just passionate about his team?
If you are looking at the arrow you are looking at number 54 Patrick Patterson! How utterly ridiculous can anyone be to let this get this far......W O W! Altho I'm not surprised at all, it is so like someone wanting as others said their 15 min. of attention...well you got it buddy...now as the other guy said go home to mommy and watch next one on tv stop wasting everyones time and patience.....grrrrrrrrrrrrr...:-(~~~
First of all it should be noted that the player the arrow is pointing to is not Cousins. That is Patrick Patterson. No headband and blue arm sleeve. Cousins had already left the floor.
Wall also wears an arm sleeve, could have been him as well. But was NOT Big Cuz!!
I was at the game, sitting in the front row under the South Carolina basket (second half). My son and I had on UK Blue and the names and comments that were made towards us were terrible. I expect that in a hostile enviornment. South Carolina played hard and lets face it, their fans haven't had much to cheer about for years. There must be a limit though as to when being passionate about your team becomes violent. I never turned around to engage any of the hecklers behind me at the game. I cheered, yelled and generally supported my Cats before and during the game. When it was over, we walked out and let the Cocks celebrate. Had to throw that in. I live and work in Columbia and all in all they are good people. You will always get your rowdy bunch. Just as if we were playing Louisville or Duke and had an great win, we would be overly passionate too. I can't imagine being a player and playing with such a level of intensity, then containing yourself to exit the court. Cousins will grow up quickly this year at UK. We still have the best college basketball program in the world! GO Cats!
dude really u live in south carolina idc how long u lived in kentucky or how much u think u know about our basketball program because obviously u dont we have beat louisville every year for like the past 5 years so really man dont stand up for us because in the end it is big blue nation we dont need any outsiders.
I couldn't tell anything either. And BTW, aren't they supposed to get fined by NCAA for rushing the floor and putting our guys at risk of getting hurt???
