^Lawrence PD now saying maybe not.

That situation is pretty weird not clear who's telling the truth who's not. Apparently the same girl who Vick apparently hit or kicked multiple times in 2015, was involved in the charges against Bragg in 2016 that were not only dropped, but the police are going after her for filing a false police report. There were multiple reports that it was her car that Jackson and Vick allegedly vandalized but the KC Star is saying it was NOT the same girl in that case.

I looked at a KU board split, many are saying what's wrong with these kids, and some are pointing out it appears the girl targeted Bragg because she was mad Vick didn't get kicked off the team. And it appears the KC Star reporter is going after KU and because she's a Kansas State grad she may have an agenda.

If the stories are true agenda or not I don't really care but it's certainly a bad situation right now. Self suspended Bragg when he was accused and then reinstated him once it was clear the charges were not going to stick. My guess is he will suspend Jackson and Vick if there's anything to that story but who knows. the claim is there were eye witnesses but if that's the case and it's a felony seems they'd have already been arrested?

According to VCU coach Will Wade after security guard grabbed the ball, a VCU player grabbed it from him and threw in bounds.


That's a tough one the rule has to be VERY seriously enforced before you can say ok the T was warranted. the exact same thing happened in UCLA's loss at Oregon, Brooks hit the go ahead shot, UCLA tried to inbound and the fans were on the court as were several Oregon players. The UCLA guy, think it was Ball, wound up just tossing the ball in the direction of the Oregon bench trying to make the refs see what was happening. they cleared the court and UCLA inbounded and lost. I was fine with that not being a T because again it happens regularly, storming the court, and they almost never call the T.

I'm sure the UCLA game and the reports after that it should have been a T, even Oregon admitted the Pac 12 warned them it should have been a T, contributed to the refs in this game calling the T on St Bonaventure.

Tough situation, it's dangerous for the players so you need to stop the fans doing that until at least the game is over and the kids are in the lockerroom. But until the rule is hard and fast, actually calling a T is difficult to swallow, it doesn't happen every time, not even close.
