Lauren Cox the Next Great Hypocrite U Slugger???

Sweetest OU Girl said:
This thread was supposed to be about Lauren Cox, so I will get back to that.

Once again last night she was a big non-factor. At least she didn't try to slug someone though.

Chelsea Dungee contributed a lot more this year than Cox. On Bu's team, I thought the best freshman was Chou. She looked pretty good last night. Pretty quick, good shooter, and looks savvy on the court. And got quite a few minutes due to the off night by Wallace.

If Cox was at OU ready or not, she would have been thrown into the fire, and a starter from the opening tip!

Does Mark Andrews wear an insulin pump? I've heard them say that they check his sugar every quarter but I've never heard them say if he wears a pump or not.

Haven't heard but most likely he is. Normally speaking diabetes control is infinitely better with an insulin pump. Moreover, it is alway easier to control low blood sugars with a pump because of the types of insulin used when taking shots vs using a pump. Much easier to have low blood sugars when physically active and taking shots.

Cox is no doubt very talented and will likely have a good-to-great career at BU. But she is also a hothead, in the tradition of KM coached players. And I don't think it's at all constructive to use her medical issues as an excuse.

Nor is it totally appropriate to assume the opposite. You probably are correct but it is not certain. Inappropriate for any of us to cast a stone at Cox without knowing all the facts. We all know what we do when we start ass-u-me-ing.

Maybe if you would concentrate on your own team and leave BU alone, I prolly wouldn't comment as much. I have never started a thread just reply to ones about my team which seems to be a regular topic on an OU WBB board. Most other forums only bring up opponents when they are about to face them. I guess the rules don't apply here. Here's an idea if you want non-OU fans to not post, then don't continue to bring up their team over and over again. Obsessed much??

Have you totally lost your mind?

This IS an OU board. And YOU ( a BU fan hanging out here like a jealous child) are posting disrespectful things about ANOTHER team. And in the midst of that you suggest we should concentrate on "our own team"?

Insane.

You'd think with all the sewage flowing in Wacko these days, this person would be trying to clean that mess up instead of floating on opponent forums! :ez-laugh:
 
I checked with someone who has a daughter who played basketball at Amarillo High and later in the A-10. She said her daughter had moments of being "cranky" while having a low-sugar episode, but the daughter never played rough and dirty on the court. The mom did say her daughter tried to keep the blood sugar deliberately high (at least a bit) to avoid "going low." The daughter also went "high" once, she told me and forgot a play, but she usually kept a pretty tight reign on her sugar levels, even during games.

It's a good thing my friends' daughter wasn't a cheap-shot artist. She is stout. I think she could bench-press a small village if she felt like it, even years after her D-1 basketball career ended.
 
In general, if you have low blood sugar, you feel weak---not combative. You do become frantic is attempting to get blood sugar back up.

If you have high blood sugar, you don't feel combative. You tend to be rather energetic, but content.

Blood sugar appears to have no relationship to wanting to throw a punch. On the other hand, watching someone behave like a jerk does stimulate activity, but it appears to have nothing to do with blood sugar, unless recognition of a jerk requires elevated blood sugar.

Yeah, Kim wasn't too worried about her blood sugar with the last half swing as she left her in the game. I never thought of her that way in high school but appears to be a quick learner of the Hypocrite U way!

Per usual you know nothing about that of which you speak on this subject. Extremely low blood sugar does/can create a combative/violent tendency generally shortly before going into comma. Definitely not the norm but many diabetics have no sensation they are experiencing a low blood sugar. I am such an individual. Read the links below and learn. Aggression, violence and infrequently death are low blood sugar reactions. Actually some correlation between crime and diabetes.

While I doubt that Cox's combative nature is due to her diabetes because if so she should be being off the court and treated for pending health issues not in the game. However, I do know that for a fact and not every diabetic reacts to changes in blood sugar the same some extremely so.

We can presume but we cannot know if Cox's diabetes has any impact on her aggressiveness so I will logically give Cox the benefit of the doubt based without more information as a result of got mulk's comments regarding the difficulties Cox has been having with her disease.

P.S. combative diabetic reactions are generally only associated with low blood sugars and not related to high blood sugars except when rebounding from over treatment for a high blood sugar thereby creating a very low blood sugar.

As an insulin-dependent diabetic as well as someone who has done some research in the area, I tend to think I know that of which I speak. Want to try again?

Are there anything that you're not a expert in? I bet you use cordless cables

Well, he's certainly an expert at being a pompous, arrogant, horses *** sometimes. Always has been. Can you imagine being married to or working with Syb every day? I'd blow my brains out -- if I had any.

Syb knows statistics; he's an eternal sunshine pumper. He's the office brown-noser. But he actually does know some stuff and is occasionally spot on in his analysis and game break downs.

He just can't help himself from being a ****.

Of course, he could say something terrible about me and it probably would be true...so to each his own. I think Syb brings something vital to the board. He gets us all riled up.

And he puckers up to Sherri's gorgeous behind more than I've ever seen anyone do to a coach.

I wonder if he will tell God how he's running Heaven wrong when he gets to the pearly gates?

You are extremely uninformed if you think there is no association between aggression or violence and low hypoglycemic episodes. Must be an indication of your faulty research.

If you are as you say an insulin-dependent diabetic and think such then I perceive that you merely think how your body reacts is how all diabetics react. Just is not the case. A multitude of diabetics react just as I do when my blood sugars get in the low 40's-high 30's and I become incoherent, irrational, muddled, hallucinate and occasionally bizarre aggressive approaching violent behavior.

I again provide these links to support my position. I challenge you to document a rebuttal to these conclusions as you have proven to often you do not speak as an authority perhaps your conclusions conform to your perceptions rather than the facts presented.

I will conclude that as I stated earlier you know not of what you speak unless you can support your conclusion with supported research that there is no correlation between low blood sugars and aggression.

I know I can get mad when I want a Snickers Bar and can't find one.

And, this is the reaction in which you are frenzied and irrational, You just added words to what I stated. You are desperate, but not aggressive. You are too weak to be aggressive. Your only behavior that might be considered aggressive is that you are desperate. You need sugar. By the thirties, you are sweating and desperate. That is aggressive? You aren't looking for someone to hit. If someone is there to help, you are cooperative. Your focus is not on hitting someone, it is on getting your blood sugar up.

Your articles cite that as being aggressive. Term is misused.
