(5) Tuesday Big East Games 12/8/20

[Omaha1]

Heard Mamu got ejected for head butting a guy. He’s a good player but I lost a lot of respect for him after his little temper tantrum at the season finale in Omaha last year.

Calling it a headbutt was a stretch. Wagner player shoved him in the back, he turned around and went face to face with the guy, but nothing forceful. Both got ejected but neither deserved it. Technicals would've been plenty

Admittedly, I did not see it, but that sounds exactly like what he did to Jefferson at the end of our game in Omaha to conclude last season.

Marquette leading Green Bay at halftime 40-33.

Strong final minutes for St. John's 18-9 to close the game.

Don't remember that one at all but Mamu has let his emotions get the best of him at times throughout his college career - most notably during the madness against Marquette a couple years ago. Fortunately the team didn't need him in there this time, but he needs to learn to control his emotions otherwise he's going to see teams start to make a point of baiting him - and he'll be watching key games from the locker room if he takes the bait.
