From Wednesday through monday i saw 4 storming of the courts. It made me realize that storming of the court may not always be called for. In Certain situations it is more than called for, so im going to start being the judge of whether a game is worthy of ending in a stormed court or not.
Game 1 #1 Ohio State @ #14 Wisconsin
This one is a tough one to judge because they are both top 15, not huge rivals but are conference foes. But i say that Wisconsin had the right to storm the court due to the reason the beat #1 in the nation and there conference, who was undefeated and had also been number #1 in football before wisconsin also beat them in wisconsin. Plus this win bumped the badgers into the top 10 so Wisconsin had a good year against ohio state so i give it a thumbs up good to go rush the court game!
Game 2 #1 Kansas @ Kansas State
Less than 24 hours after being named the #1 team in the country the Jay hawks Lost in the Octagon of doom to arch in state rival unranked Kansas state. K-State was going through a bit of a rough patch but clobbered the #1 team in the country and star guard Jacob Pullen set a new career high 38 points in the game. K-state hadn't beat Kansas in like 18 meetings so it was huge for The wildcats and this game also receives a thumbs up for the storming of the court.
Game 3 #17 Utah State @ Idaho
The Aggies went into cowan spectrum winning 25 straight WAC games, 18 games in a row and a 11 game win streak over the vandals. For WAC teams being national televised is a big deal so the mood was set for a big upset and to knock Utah State out of Automatic Bid contention whether or not the win WAC Tourny. The Vandals snapped alot of streaks and beat a top 25 team for the first time since 2009 against #25 portland. This program has turned around to an above .500 team in last 4 years and it was a huge win so i give court storming a thumbs up for this game as well
Game 4 Idaho @ Boise State
This rivalry has been under a magnifying glass ever since Boise's president Kustra called vandal fans nasty and inebriated and said him and football coach wanted to cancel rivalry once bsu moves to mwc. so this is depending on tourny time is the last chance the vandals might have for awhile depending on the basketball negotiations to beat arch in state rival bsu who royally slacks them in football in the last decade. Basketball is saving grace for the vandals who had won 3 of last 5 before this game. Taco Bell Arena was pretty well filled spilt 70 to 30 broncos to vandals. Good close game just like first meeting broncos won again and completed the season sweep where then the about 100 students in the student section stormed the court after earlier ripping up a vandal flag and receiving a technical. This is not Okay, Boise state should be ashamed they beat a 14-10 team when they were 13-11. neither team is great at basketball the students were weak the whole game ive seen high school games in north dakota have more students at a game then this Division 1 school. BSU had no reason to storm the court. Maybe thats why their basketball team is nowhere close to the football team. TO BOISE STATE if you are going to treat the game like a rivalry and rip flags, storm the court and come up with a game theme(which the white out failed miserably) then you should call the game a rivalry. BSU v Idaho is a rivalry so deal with it that you are rivals with a school that sucks at sports oh well you hate them they hate you thats all its really about ROLL TIDE!
