It was a forearm shiver to the nuts. You're lying to yourself if you don't think what Goins did hurt.

Look at the video. He hit him in his navel area. Cousins is a big baby actor and the refs bought into his act

I really believe he was just throwing elbows around trying to get Cousins off him. He did hit him with an elbow, but it was not in the groin and he should not have been tossed from the game. Enough talking about this, let's get on to the seeding and win some games in the real dance!

Whether he deserved to get tossed or not really doesn't matter as the game was well past over. It's only meaningful if it leads to a suspension, which apparently it won't.

Yeah because I would definitely label him as a baby.

Everytime he doesn't get a call, gets called, or misses a free throw he looks my cousin when he's about to cry. So yes I would think he is a BIG baby as well.

We lose the "Bench-Clearing Brawl" with UK when we start trying to match Skylar and Quinn up with guys. Chism could take Pat, I like Bobbys chances against John, Melvin Vs Bledsoe, Bwill on Cousins, JP on Harris ....Orton would stomp KHall I'm afraid. This rivalry is gonna get nasty. Tobias, can you come to knox early?

Composure in the face of adversity. Simply put we lost our composure from the get go in this game. No need to whine to the officials about the calls. Instead of playing a Kentucky team, the players seemed to think it more important to play the officials. It did not work and in most situations where so much is on the line, it will not work. Need to stay focused on the players, not the zebras. Yes the officiating was, in my orange colored glasses, a little bias. However the point is, we lost our composure and that is that.

No he's just a REALIST. All Cousins did was start **** with everyone on our team. Hell, he even started **** with every other team Kentucky played this year.

As I youtube the elbow play, I find that Melvin Goins is actually a bluegrass legend in KY. Who would've thought!

I really don't think it was that big of a deal. It MIGHT have been worth a foul call, MAYBE, but it wasn't worth getting ejected. I agree on the replay it looked like it might have been intentional, but happening in real time, ehhh. I could easily see where Goins was trying to protect himself, or just found himself in a bad position. Like I said, I would have been ok with a foul call, but I think ejecting him was over the top. If he wanted to hurt him, he could have easily just socked him one, or went a little lower. It was around his navel area.

What really disgusted me is that when it happened (and the refs HAD to see it, it was so obvious, he was out near half court all alone) they called nothing. They let play continue, and didn't stop play until something happened on the other end of the court. That is fine, however the fact that they went back to look at the tape earlier than what they stopped play for (I think officially it was a foul on Patterson). I mean WTF? And then they supposedly did double T's? But I think they got reversed? what? I don't even know if Patterson's original foul counted. I dunno, the whole incident was pretty bad IMO.

I really didn't think that it was that much worse than the kind of physical stuff you go through cutting through the baseline. The difference was Cousins (whether it hurt or not, which he was up almost immediately and on defense) had a pretty strong reaction to it. And they had been babying him and letting him get away with slaugther all game long. Oh and when they called a T on Chism for standing there, his facial expression didn't even change. LOL. That was ridiculous as well.

Like I said I would have been ok with a foul. But I think ejecting him was over the top. True it didn't make a different in the outcome, but that still doesn't make it right imo.

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere----- Just wondering if Goins ejection comes with a one game suspension from the NCAA? (Miss the first game of the big tourney)

what's ironic is Cousins can throw a cheap shot elbow and the other player gets a foul called on them while Goins throws an elbow and gets ejected.

I watched the replay of it. I didnt see anything malicious and neither did several licensed referees that I know. He was just fighting through the screen.
