Yup, no worries. I am upset over the football...not so much about this one. I have zero doubt that we turn this around.Thanks, I knew that, more than a little flustered, crazy day between our two games

Things were already chippy after their PG got thrown out, Ingram got tangled up with one of their guys and he threw a punch at Ingram, causing our guys to leave the bench. I don’t think their bench players got on the floor.I wasn't able to watch the game. I'm thinking this was a teachable moment for the players regarding keeping their seats or staying at the bench. Does anyone know if Minnesota had any players leave their bench and step on the court? carder24 mentioned above that the Minnesota bench was not in camera view. Maybe the refs had a camera shot to review but if not, it is really not fair to have a complete review of one team and none on the other.
Still need to get more points out of Ingram. Smith continues to impress; only looking at his stats for this game and I know that he got extra minutes because of the situation but I still think he has shown more than expected by many for his first year.
Thanks. I looked at some of the videos and I think you are correct about the Minnesota players. I first thought the Bama players were ejected because they were on the court by a foot or two, which may still be the case, but they did move farther out to get a hold of some more team mates and that for sure got them ejected.Things were already chippy after their PG got thrown out, Ingram got tangled up with one of their guys and he threw a punch at Ingram, causing our guys to leave the bench.

Why is there a rule about automatic ejection when the player’s intent is not to engage the other team but restrain their own teammates? Can’t they look at the video and see the players pulling their teammates back? Just curious.Thanks. I looked at some of the videos and I think you are correct about the Minnesota players.

I seem to recall more emphasis and maybe the rule change several years ago. I can think of two reasons for making this a hard rule. One, it takes a judgement call away from the refs so they can call it like they see it. Two, players getting on the court may have the intent of pulling team mates back but once they get near other players, the situation could escalate into something more.“By rule, whenever a potential situation occurs on the court, no player may leave the bench area. If they do leave the bench area and don’t participate in the altercation that’s going on then they are ejected from this contest and there’s no further penalty, which is what happened. They all came onto the court. We went to the monitor and reviewed all of that. Based on the views that were given us it showed all of their players on the bench, came off the bench onto the court. The views we were given we didn’t see anyone from the Minnesota bench come onto the floor.’’
Yea I kept repeating it but I think everyone thought it was to bizarre to be true. Glad I caught it. Seeing what the other fans were writing made it even better.Went back to read post game thread and funny no one believing you about our 3 on 5 situation

Since it was on our end of the court we don’t know because they weren’t on camera. But I bet they were.Things were already chippy after their PG got thrown out, Ingram got tangled up with one of their guys and he threw a punch at Ingram, causing our guys to leave the bench.

There’s another angle out there that almost shows the whole floor and they did not.Since it was on our end of the court we don’t know because they weren’t on camera. But I bet they were.
