TCU Fans Heckle Deaf Texas Tech Basketball Player<\/strong><\/p>\n

by Bryan Lutz

Texas Christian University wasn\u2019t very Christian like against Texas Tech.<\/p>\n

Luke Adams is a freshman point guard on the Red Raiders. As Tommy Callahan
\nwould say, he\u2019s just a little guy! Adams is 5\u20199 and 150 pounds soak and wet.
\nNormally you want to root for the underdog, but TCU had other ideas.<\/p>\n

When Adams played 11 minutes in Tech\u2019s 75-69 win over TCU, the Horn Frog
\nfans were heckling Adams.<\/p>\n

Justin Bieber! *Clapx5* Justin Bieber!<\/p>\n

Real original TCU. Yes, they share a similar resemblence. Both the Biebs and
\nAdams aren\u2019t very large in physique, but if looking like the Biebs gets me
\nSelena Gomez then sign me up! Adams seemed unphased by the taunts. He scored
\n3 points and added 3 assists. Oh, did I mention he\u2019s deaf?<\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s right, TCU was taunting a deaf person.<\/p>\n

Not quite as embarrasing as G.W. Bush waving at Stevie Wonder, but it\u2019s up
\nthere.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t wait to see what TCU has in store for the rest of season. Except I
\ndoubt we will find out because it\u2019s TCU basketball after all.<\/p>\n
