Storming the court

[lefty]

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-

Good grief??¦I know it's a rivalry game and they are both BCS teams but ISU is ranked 4th in the country??¦..I guess I just don't get it??¦..

all the fans who stormed the court were students and all of them came from the two end zone sections...
It would have been very easy to control and prevent this yet the Iowa State staff & personnel clearly did absolutely NOTHING to stop it from happening...

If you watch the video - you see again and again - students who rush to the bottom of the stands then they expect to encounter some resistance from staff or ushers or security - so the proceed slowly on ahead onto the court - waiting to see if they get stopped but everyone's looking the other way.

NCAA needs to fine them for this behavior or place a penalty on all students - an extra fee of $5 each with proceeds towards the unfortunate journalist who was recklessly injured by this mob.

a good commentary on court storming by one of the top coaches in the sport.
..Colorado did a major court storming after beating Arizona.

I cannot recall a true Bradley "court storming" in over 30 years since, maybe the title game in New York at the 1982 NIT.
Yes, I have seen a tiny trickle of some fans onto the court after a couple games, but that is not a court storming, posed no threat at all, and was almost instantly controlled and remedied by our fine staff at the Civic Center.

In fact, the most pitiful court storming in the history of basketball was ISU in 2011,
when they were a 9th place team beating a 10th place team

Too bad you missed the home regular season finale in 1996 against ISU. One of my best times in the Molinarmy. We always sat in the back and it was great to see the chaos in front of us as we made our way to the court. The unexpected part was the students from the upper bowl that started coming in behind us.

I do remember that. Most of the staid, older fans were a bit dismayed by that.
