Cougars dominate Utes in both acting and on the court

by JazzyUte on Jan 30, 2010 11:01 PM MST in Basketball

This game pretty much played out exactly how I expected. That's the bad news. The good news? We found out BYU basketball players are as big of pusses as their football brethren.

Not like we needed a reminder of this, though.

The play, of course, came when Marshall Henderson successfully bounced the ball off a BYU player and was walking back onto the court when it appeared he gave Jackson Emery a 'slap' (read: bitch slap). He was tossed and the boos rained down from the crowd. Predictable.

It certainly looked like something had happened between the two. However, the acting job Emery produced was worthy of an Oscar mention because it was down right beautiful how he sold what, in reality, was barely a tap.

See for yourself...

Thanks goes to UFN's 89Ute

Hardly anything. And certainly not as bad as people made it seem.

The loss still stings, though. Especially since Utah really only showed up for about five minutes of true game time. Outside of that, however, it was a blowout.

classic idiot ute comment

your freshman loses his cool and flails his arm in the direction of emery and you blame it on byu? i actually enjoyed the kid’s fire, he is going to be a baller for the utes for awhile and i love to see the rivalry escalate with good talent on both sides. however, put some blame on your own guy. sure emery flopped, sold the foul…thats exactly what he is supposed to do. but it was the ute who looked like a fool

Call me an idiot again and your ass is banned.

I never justified Marshall’s action. If you could read, you’d see that. I only said that it was far less worse than what has been portrayed. There was no punch and it was an embarrassing acting job by Jackson Emery. That’s all I said.

great game

glad to see the gap close to 4 in the 2nd half. showed alot of good fight. and it gave jimmer a chance to catch fire in a meaningful moment

Agreed

The “punch” wasn’t even close to a punch. He swung up and barely got a piece of emery. It was a joke. Henderson shouldn’t have been ejected. Obviously emery said something to even make him swing so it’s not all on hendersen.

byu had been jawing all night. In my opinion emery deserved it…call me classless. I don’t care because if you look at the highlights it’s not Utah that is talking smack after every play.

GO UTES!!

Henderson needs to keep his emotions in check.

But yeah, it was hardly anything. Emery totally sold it and because of that, I wouldn’t be surprised if Henderson is suspended a few games. Over what amounts to a little peck.

A little blown out of proporation

He did hit Emery and should not have done so, but not as bad as it seemed on twitter.

I agree...it was stupid.

But hell, Miles’ kick on Bogut a few years back was a lot worse.

i live in nevada so i can't get as much local info as you.

does utah start next season with a bye before they play pitt. i hope their is a conference game before with play them. usually the team that starts the season first has a slight advantage.

game

I hate BYU I have no liking for them at all! That BYU kid is a little you know…. don’t want to say it. Our Utes are young and its rebuilding time! Good Fight! Hopefully we can get a little better and improve as the season continutes, maybe upset them at home!
