Storming the court

[tornado]

Once again we have a pretty weird example of storming the court...

NIU hasn't been very good - but in a weak MAC this season, they are mediocre...13-14 overall & 7-8 in conference play - 4th place...
and they knocked off Toledo tonight - Toledo is in 2nd place in the West Division behind WMU.
NIU fans went wild and stormed the court!

funny story --
Saturday South Carolina beat Kentucky and the South Carolina fans stormed the court....
The SEC however has a rule that imposes a FINE on any school that storms the court - but....

since it was happening anyway - the University of South Carolina President decided to join in and enjoy it...

Later he said he enjoyed it......
"USC President Harris Pastides on the UK court storm:
"Once I realized I was paying [the fine] anyway, I ran down … I enjoyed every dollar."

This one is marginally understandable. It was Tech's first conference win, they are unranked and Iowa State is (was) ranked number 9.

I agree it is dumb to storm the court unless you are unranked beating a top 3 team and even then it is debatable to do a court storming, but this one isn't as egregious as some.

Admit it, wouldn't it be fun to see all 34 students be able to storm the court at Carver after the Drake game.

Much more understandable than the UC Davis court storming I saw last weekend. Texas Tech had a 22% of going 0-18 in the Big 12 prior to the win yesterday, so they may not see another win this season.

Kansas State knocks off Kansas and fans storm the court

it was chaotic & probably should have been under better control

but NOBODY got hurt - yet the Kansas people were unhappy about it, leading to a K-State apology

The Big 12 conference announces new rules and penalties if schools fail to prevent "court storming". Penalties will range from fines to losing home games-

Hope the students know about that rule. Question is, will they still storm the court and choose to ignore it?

So I can go over to ISU and at the end of each game storm their court. hen ISU will get fined and penalized. Love it pay back will be fun.

Sounds like a clever way to suck a little extra cash out of schools. Well done Big 12, the government has taught you well.

Next up, oxygen usage fee.

An unfortunate incident when Iowa State fans stormed their court after a come-from-behind win over Iowa last night. A Des Moines Register writer broke his leg-
