I was thinking 3-5 as well.

ESPN made a huge deal about Smart kicking the chair last week. Won't help frame his case.

Unfortunately for Smart there's freedom of speech. But that doesn't extend to physical action.

Cobbins' injury and Smart's antics doomed OK State from a Final 4 squad to one and done potentially.

From what the camera shows, live and in that vine, it doesn't appear that the fan dropped any racial slurs.... Then again, we can't see that specific male fan until Smart is up and in his face. Again, just playing devils advocate because I personally think Smart will go this route to save face

Because you don't see the fan until after Smart gets up.

And what do you mean "to save face". Do you really think he got up and shoved that fan for no reason? Something was obviously said. You can tell from the way Smart snaps his head around and by the fan saying "sorry about that".

I agree man. Fans need to be held responsible for their actions.

I wanted to reach through my tv and ***** slap this fan.

She looks like the type I'd pick up at Costco or BJ's.

By save face I mean to justify his actions he will say the fan made a racial slur. And at this point we cant know if he did or not. I also dont ever see him say, "sorry about that". And no I don't think he got up and shoved him for no reason, but from what we have seen previously he does lose his temper and shows apparent frustration.. Again, I'm not excusing the fan for his actions or Smart for his, just wondering everyone's thoughts.

******* MCW can't shoot at all & he's on track for ROY.

 

[don ramon]

jesus christ espn making this like the president of the usa was shot or something

 i don't care i tend to side with the athletes nowadays. fan probably said something way outta line and thought he was protected by "freedom of speech" or something

 

[s0rtega22]

What do you guys think/define as "out of line" or unacceptable for fans to SAY? I agree that fans should be held accountable too, but should athletes keep their composure if words are said?

 

[jwill jr]

Several local reporters for Oklahoma St. and a few ESPN ppl saying this might be real bad for Smart. might be a lengthy Suspension.

[certifiedflyboi23]

Already posted the YouTube of the same fan sending a curse word in sign language lol

 

[T0INE]

You'd think this was Malice in Palace Part 2 the way ESPN is covering it.

I guess it's icing on the cake that it happened on one of their networks too.
