LOL. Like he’s never been within proximity of a phone before that moment. Such manufactured drama.

You're all over Hoiberg regarding this incident. Any underlying reason for the laser focus on this topic?
And also, respectfully, did you read the his quotes in the article?

Indiana’s loss tonight means Illinois has clinched a better conference record than Indiana and can finish no lower than 9th.

Also means that with a win tonight, our first game in the BTT would be no earlier than Thursday. We would have tiebreaker over Iowa, Ohio State, and UCLA.

Absolute punk move by the VCU kid to steal the ball and hoist a 50 footer at the end when down 20.

Is it really any worse than Avila pushing him out of bounds shortly after that?

I know this is going to come across as downplaying something that’s indeed very serious but this really seems like a reach by hoiberg.

I actually don’t think it’s all that crazy to have a reaction like he did, heck even in normal circumstances outside a heated game I think at least some people would’ve acted similarly and I wouldn’t blame them. Nobody wants a phone stuck in their face, period.

But to say your pacemaker is going to act up because a phone comes within a few feet of you and that’s the sole reason you do that just comes off as someone trying to save face. Yes they can interfere with them, but for your immediate reaction to seeing a phone to be swatting it away feels like an attempt at justifying a situation rather than just admitting you were already agitated and escalated the situation.

He only had to save face because a bunch of soft !!! people think they can run up to a coach with a phone in their face and not suffer any consequences.

That kid should have gotten dragged out of their by security like the little b*tch he is.

I would not describe a few comments as all over him. Yes. I read his quotes. And they are BS. I’ve actually always liked Hoiberg. Still do. But he’s out of line here and making excuses that aren’t grounded in reality. It’s not “all over” for him if a phone gets too close. And his own phone and the phones of people sitting or standing next to him every day are closer than the phone he knocked out of that kids hand was ever going to be.

Watching Ole Miss Vs Florida...Boogie Fland is Sincere Harris with better skills...but poorc3 pt shooter.

AJ Storr crapped his career, if he stays at Wisconsin probably in first round conversation. He regressed at Kansas and Ole Miss IMHO.

Looks like Miami may have scored with Jai Lucas. Keep an eye on that kid.

Been waiting for the wheels to fall off. They seem solidly bolted on though. Very surprising. Of course it isn’t over.

KU looks like they weren’t expecting a battle today.
