I mean really.

edit) this means before the game is over. after the game, whatevs.

simply put....yes.

That's why college game is better than pro game.

That's one of the sorriest excuses I've ever heard

all about the game. all about winning.

my comments were in reference to after the game...b4 the game when you there's still a chance to win, then no.

There's definitely situations where I could defend it, such as a devastating injury. But last night was ridiculous, the game ain't even decided yet and you're the best player walking around like a basketcase. How are your teammates supposed to maintain their composure when their best player and leader has lost it?

gotta keep it together for your team especially with time on the clock and a chance to tie/win.

I was shaking my head at the TV saying to myself "dude better stop crying"

You gonna lose your composure because another player on the team is acting bitch-made? Please.

If anything, that's when true leaders step up and get shit done.

emotion gets the best of us all, i personally felt morrissons pain @ that moment

it takes a big man to lose complete control of his emotions on national tv, w/ thousands in the stands, to just lay out & sob like a lil girl whose favorite doll just got run over

he is knee deep in the best redneck gunch the state of washington has to offer

Morrison has shown he's a psycho when he smashed the ball against his head a million times in the other game. Now his team still has a very legitimate chance to win, and he breaks down instead of focusing on winning? *shakes head*

If you're injured, go ahead and cry. Shit, even after a game it's easy to get very emotional. But before the game is over? ESPECIALLY if you still have a very real chance at winning? I don't really feel that.

1. Some sort of devastating injury
2. Someone's retiring after the game (thus, the last minute or two of the game cats get choked up)
3. Death of a loved one, and you decide to play (ex: Francisco Garcia last year in Louisville, when his brother got killed)

That's it

All these cats saying that it's full of emotion, fuck the bullshit. If you're crying because you're LOSING (not lost the game, LOSING the game) suck that shit up and keep playing. That's certified bitch...there's no ATHLETE, man or woman, that justifies this, especially on the court/field whatever.

If you're still in the game, and the game isn't decided and you get emotional and cry, you're a straight up bitch. That's not being a macho dude, that's being competititive. It ain't over...suck that shit up and ball, and stop crying! ESPECIALLY if you're the leader of the team (like Morrison) and you break down...fuck that. No excuse

Soft ass Morrison...no excuse whatsoever for that

>WAAAAH, waterworks start up
If you lose, you lose
If you're LOSING (meaning the game isn't over) and you can STILL WIN...what the hell you crying for?

>men are human sometimes your emotions get the best of you
What are you getting emotional for? You ain't lose yet

>whats wrong w/ crying anyway
It depends on what you're crying about. Crying about a game that isn't over if you're supposed to lead the team is straight bitch

>crying means youre a bitch
Again, it depends on what you're crying for

>everytime i see rudy i get a little choked up...im a bitch
>now?
That's you...crying because a movie moved you, and crying because you haven't lost yet are different

gonzaga got a shot off at the end of the game.

what if the pass had gone to morrison instead? with his emotions having already gotten the better of him, would he have been able to get off a good shot?

would he have been able to even see the basket clearly through the tears?

not "Can you rationalize it?"

But I know I'm not gonna cry in a pickup game if I'm down 10-9.
If I gotta chance to win, why cry...suck it up and do your best.

If you lose and cry fine...but crying before the game is over...come on now, that's inexcusable (especially if you're the leader of the team, and everyone's looking to you)

are we talking about pick-up games, or the NCAA tourney?

________________

>are we talking about pick-up games, or the NCAA tourney?
So I guess anything applies

And even still, the situation still applies. You're down, but you still have a chance to win...SUCK IT UP and play, and stop crying

>And even still, the situation still applies. You're down, but
>you still have a chance to win...SUCK IT UP and play, and stop
>crying

however morrison knew there was a 99.9% chance the game was over when they lost posession w/2 seconds left. in my mind this is different than crying with 2 minutes left when you foul out or something.

can we all just agree on this:

seeing JJ Reddick cry was beautiful?

The thing is, in the NCAA tournament, there's no game that's safe until the clock runs out...so crying before you at least go for the win/tie to me is bitching...but we'll agree to disagree

>can we all just agree on this:
>
>seeing JJ Reddick cry was beautiful?
That was beautiful...but not as beautiful as Derek Fisher crying when the Spurs beat the Lakers that year (I think in 2003)

If you lose, then do so with some dignity. I understand watery eyes after an emotional game (win or loss) but that full-out boo-hooing is too much to me.

Rex hit scenarios that are bigger than a win or a loss.

The key word is LOSING

You haven't LOST...if the game is over and you cry, I don't have a problem with that at all

If the GAME ISN'T OVER and you start crying, SUCK IT UP and ball...that's it.

This isn't after the game...this is during the game and your team is down, but not out...you gonna cry? Come on man

its only his last game if he chooses it to be

Missing those free throws in the C-USA championship game and breaking down in tears as he missed the last one? NO ONE? That was some of the most heartbreaking shit I've ever seen in college sports.

And that was different
Because there was NO time on the clock, and the team was down 1. He makes both, they win, he makes 1 they tie.

He missed both, they lost. He was at the line all by himself, with ZERO seconds on the clock.

He choked bad, broke down and cried...fine. I don't have a problem with that. But it's not like he had the ball, down 1 with 3 seconds left and starting crying.

And to be honest, I found it funny, because he was cocky with his all game, and even before the game, and got humbled. (It was Memphis, and they needed that game to get into the tournament)

he hit the first, got cocky as fuck, and missed the last 2

It would've been OK...right?

Fuck outta here with that bullshit

and i don't even LIKE dook.

damn shame a star player ended his college career like morrison did...that shit is inexcusable.

But not with time left. There is still time left to win the game

-----------------------------------------------------------------

he thought the game was over, as in he thought the clock had run out during that last scramble for the ball...he probably thought time had run out, and if you're that emotional, you can't just suck it up and not cry...its not like he didnt end up going to the key while dude from ucla shot his free throws...all that being said, its still pretty suspect, but anybody who is trying to use this as a knock against morrison's prospects as a pro is an idiot, and maybe morrison isnt going to be a 10 time all star but he will be a solid offensive player, anyone who says otherwise is just hating

he thought the game was over? and then that's a knock on him for not know ing how much time is left in the game? that he thought there was no time left, and he thought the game was over. that 's like c webb thinking he still got time outs.

Pretty sure about that.

but i refuse to believe that he knew there was time left on the clock...i mean, i've never seen ANY player cry during a game like that, and morrison is crazy but he's intense, and he's a player, he's trying to win the game...he prob just made a mistake, did his best to pull himself together for the last less than 2 seconds, and then he really lost it...like i said, obviously poorly played on his part, but i think a lot of people on this board just hate morrison...let them hate, he's gettin paid come draft day

i don't hate morrison, and i had no problem with him bawling after the game, but i think its more feasible to believe that he thought the game was still going on then to assume that he must have thought it was over.

Lol the first thing cats do when they take a heartbreaking 'L' is look at the scoreboard in disbelief anyway.

Some might think he's overrated, but I don't think he gets hate on here (Redick is a different story)...but it was bitch to cry before the game was over...he knew the game wasn't over, he ain't hear no final buzzer

i mean, i guess you guys are right, i'm just trying to defend morrison since i like the guy's game and he obviously just got sonned in front of millions of people...he's just way too wound up...bottom line is, i doubt gonzaga coulda won the game anyways even if morrison had ice grilled for the last 1.8, and in the end he just ended up embarassing himself

that way, if you cant see the clock, you can at least hear a REALLY LOUD BUZZER to let you know that the game is over.

we need to prevent this from happening again.

They didn't even go try to buck him up. Before or after the game. He's there crying in the middle of the floor, and it was Bruin dudes that came to console him. His own players just left him there to cry.

Bitches, all of them.

Personally, I don't think Morrison was crying because he gave up. It was shock because shit fell apart so fast. It was one of those "Oh no this can't be happening" things as opposed to "we just lost" tears.

RED
http://arrena.blogspot.com

that comes with the one-loss-and-you're-out side of the ncaa tournament. morrison whailing and laying out on the floor was no different than what penny hardaway did his last college game. morrison's an emotional player and that side comes with it. he exalts with joy when he wins big games and he cries when they lose.
