Haven't read the thread yet, but OrangePower (Okie State's main message board) is running very slow right now. Not sure why.
Marcus Smart hits a fan

No excuse for Smart's reaction. But the old dude who apparently is fond of flipping the bird and taunting Red Raider opponents clearly did/said something to get that kind of reaction. Not to mention his first reaction once Smart confronts him is to say, "Sorry about that..." and then his ****-eating grin after Smart gets T'd up. If he did say something racial, I'm guessing his days of sitting in those seats are numbered.

Would not shock me. Seems to me like it would take something special to make a guy snap like that, I'm sure Smart has heard his fair share of trash talk.
Marcus, skip the NBA and go straight to plane ride with Dennis Rodman to go see Kim Jung Ugh. This whole episode and the evolving excuses are freaking pathetic.
That's interesting no one tried to get in between the fan and him when they were so close to each other. Usually stadium security has someone making sure that interaction does not happen ala Ron Artest. Maybe they only do that in the NBA or in professional sports.
It must have been something pretty objectionable as Smart got up in his face quickly and the guy couldn't apologize fast enough. Still inexcusable.
Exactly. And, he did not "go into" the stands to engage fan. he has already there due to fall after play. I swear some posters should be members of the media they way they sensationalize things.

We think Smart was just shocked that a fan took the contact and didn't flop.

We didn't eject Marcus Smart because we're not sure clowns have locker rooms.

So far this season, Marcus Smart has fought a chair and a fan. He battled both to draws.

Bet he didn't expect Smart to be up in his face when he said whatever he said, hope they sell Red Raider pants at the gift shot.
Not sure what the fan said, but I would have bet money that the story is he said the N word. Wouldn't have that issue in Hilton as the crowd will be to loud to hear a fan say that in the same situation.
Big 12 is clearly the center of the college basketball world now. Both because KU, ISU, Texas, OU and KSU, but also because of how Baylor and OK State started off the year with such expectations and predictably are tanking it.
I've been watching Sportscenter U and it took like a half hour to talk about anything but Big 12.

I realize its Lubbock but hard to believe it would have been the N bomb. Maybe the south really is that far behind.
