Very well said, Janeen. It is very unfortunate that this game was a ticking time bomb that no one diffused in time.

I agree with you. The Refs did not do their job on this one. However, with all that has transpired after the fact, I think Xavier is really not taking their share of the penalties for any of it. Their star player, Frease, pushed a player in the brawl and he got nothing. Could this be because they need him to keep their winning streak? Xavier sure isn't living up to the moral standards that I always thought they were known for. Their players should also get the 6 games suspension!

While I agree that taunting is unacceptable, your comment that Tu Holloway deserves the same suspension that Yancy Gates is way off. Tu did not strike out physically, land any punches or bloody anyones face.

Don't believe I ever said that. i just said "Why did he only get a one game suspension?" Both teams are at fault, no doubt. Throwing punches is unacceptable, but so is jumping up on the table provoking the crowd, etc. Standing on the floor after the game is over, etc. being in front of the other team's bench through the game, etc. I don't think one game was enough. But thanks for writing. I appreciate it.
