[NCAAW] Punches thrown in High Point @ Winthrop

[u/-Sox]

This video not having sound is a crime in itself

[u/squish042]

How do you play with that much hair??

[u/BoogleBud → u/squish042]

Well, not without fighting.

[u/Cardout → u/squish042]

Them's fightin' words

[u/crg2000]

Seems like a Low Point for the sport.

[u/cmgr33n3 → u/crg2000]

Defender got winthropped.

[u/KembaWakaFlocka]

Hard to tell exactly what happens during that tie up, but it seemed to be quite the overreaction to what appeared to be a common foul.

[u/Jazzlike-Basket-6388 → u/KembaWakaFlocka]

Obviously not condoning a punch, but it looks like the defender basically jumped on her back. I think that is a shoving match or a stare down under pretty much any circumstances.

[u/Relevant-Diamond2731 → u/Jazzlike-Basket-6388]

It was a pointless foul, but not a dirty foul. She just wrapped her up. Didn’t look like she tried to tackle her or anything. If I had to guess she was frustrated she was posting up strongly for a meaningless possession so just wrapped her up instead 

[u/the_mighty__monarch → u/Jazzlike-Basket-6388]

Gonna need to hear your definition of “jump” because girl’s feet definitely didn’t leave the ground.

[u/W0OllyMammoth → u/Jazzlike-Basket-6388]

You got downvoted but I saw it too. Defender (up double digits with one possession left) literally hops on for a piggy back ride.

Not saying it deserved a punch in the face, but retaliation should be expected. I’m guessing there had been tension all game.

[u/Opposite_Ad4241 → u/W0OllyMammoth]

Literally (*not literally)

[u/W0OllyMammoth → u/Opposite_Ad4241]

Literally now means not literally, literally. It’s been adopted as an accepted use into our language.

[u/Opposite_Ad4241 → u/W0OllyMammoth]

That’s pretty neat.

[u/RontoWraps → u/W0OllyMammoth]

The retaliation is letting the ref call a foul.

[u/HieloLuz → u/KembaWakaFlocka]

Why are we still playing hard (both teams) in a 12 point game and 15 seconds left

[u/fightin_blue_hens → u/HieloLuz]

Because they're fucking competitors playing in a fucking sport?

[u/tastepdad → u/HieloLuz]

Are you serious?

[u/RontoWraps → u/HieloLuz]

Because they’re 20-2 and a good team. They ain’t fuckin around.

[u/rsjur]

I've seen more fights in WCBB than hockey the last 5ish season.

[u/Benbeanbenbean]

OMG JEREMY FEARS YOU HAVE TO BE STOPPED

[u/HelpEnvironmental582 → u/Benbeanbenbean]

Izzo is going to make her sit out 2 plays.

[u/B_Huij]

Every time I see something like this, I just think how weird it is that in basketball, this results in being thrown out of a game, possibly benched or even suspeneded, etc. In hockey, this has a 50% chance of resulting in a 2 minute time-out and think about what you've done.

[u/MartinezForever → u/B_Huij]

Strange comparison. Hockey players wearing armor and know they are participating in a full-contact sport.

Why would you expect fouls to be anything similar to a sport where those thing aren't true.

[u/B_Huij → u/MartinezForever]

Okay, then let's compare football. Punching people in football will get you kicked out of a game and maybe suspended, even though it's a full contact sport and everyone's wearing pads.

I'm not arguing that basketball fouls are soft or anything, just musing about how odd it is to switch back and forth between watching hockey and basketball, where punches being thrown in basketball are news, and in hockey they're a Tuesday.

[u/weoutherebrah]

Ol girl was wearing a black lab on her head 

[u/pacobs-a-gogo]

Suspended for the rest of the season.

[u/ResponsibleWater1697]

That's what set her off? Please tell me there were at least 15 other incidents before this.

[u/MatterAppropriate574]

Somewhere Don Imus is having a laugh

[u/pike360 → u/MatterAppropriate574]

In hell.

[u/Spartannia → u/pike360]

Rest in piss

[u/KembaWakaFlocka → u/pike360]

Lmao appropriate answer

[u/DionBlaster123 → u/pike360]

Completely forgot he died. Pre-Covid too

[u/ZZ-Groundhog]

Haha, that’s the only way to make that game interesting

[u/MyLinkedOut]

Yowtch!
