Michigan State and Wisconsin faced off against each other on Sunday afternoon. Michigan State’s Miles Bridges found himself in the crosshairs of the NCAA scandal where his mom took $400 from some agent and a free meal. Bridges was one of the lesser dollar amount players to be involved, yet, none of this information is really official yet. We’re going off expense reports from a 24-year old kid. Still, that did not stop Badgers fans from chanting ‘cheater’ at the superstar Sophomore. Fair or foul?

Miles Bridges knocks down two free throws to chants of "Cheater" to seal a 68-63 win for Michigan State and the program's first outright Big Ten championship since 2009.

As someone who enjoyed being part of the student section, it’s fun to rile up the opposing base but calling someone a ‘cheater’ for a story where the facts aren’t out is a weird look. Also, what’s he exactly cheating? He took money, it’s not like he’s doing some illegal on the court. It seemed like a shortsighted move by Badgers fans at the end of the game. They should have used better judgement here. Student sections are about getting flash in some way though. Marquette’s students barely show up and yell ‘Fuck the [insert opponents nickname]’ chants and think they’re super clever.

This is the reason why this whole story from Yahoo! feels weird and kind of gross. We talked on the podcast yesterday that the real story is Arizona and DeAndre Ayton. All of the rest of the stuff is pure noise.
