Konner Tucker, one of our favorite names from the Billy Gillispie era, is getting some national attention for his ability to take a punch. As you can see the video, he got tangled with Shamarr Bowden of East Carolina and it led to Bowden throwing a pair of cheap shots to Tucker’s face.
Maybe that’s the toughness Billy Gillispie saw in the Konner Tucker Band when he recruited him to Kentucky.

They should just go ahead and have his bed ready in prison .

No place for this kid in basketball, should be suspended for at least 10 games
January 28th, 2013 at 11:08 am
Suspend him for the season. No place for this sort of idiocy in the game.

Demarcus Cousins approves of this action. Just ask Jared Swopshire.

No place for this in the game!!! Look how long it took the ref to step in! It wasn’t till after he stopped throwing punches, till the ref threw up his hands.

Is that a flagrant 1 foul?
January 28th, 2013 at 11:11 am
Gas chamber.

Do you look less tough if you’re throwing punches while your head is stuck up someone’s butt? I say yes.
January 28th, 2013 at 11:20 am
This kid should be in prison.

10–LOL i thought the same thing
But why were his teammates just standing around watching him get hit? I would like to know what led up to this incident this. Wondered if it was mentioned during after game interviews?

Scuze me guys, let me break this up before it goes too fart.

This idiot was arrested on gun charges in April for firing shots in the air. On his twitter profile of courses he loves god and Jesus and is a family man
January 28th, 2013 at 11:49 am
Ok he was later cleared of the charges after the grand jury dropped the charges
