HARRISON: responds to taunting fans after he fouls out from game
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1B
"He's just been a target here for a long time and that's unfortunate," Patton said.
Harrison's relationship with Kansas fans goes back to when his brother D.J. and former Jayhawk Drew Gooden disliked each other when D.J. was playing at Colorado.
As a freshman, David made remarks about the Fieldhouse crowd, and the fans have never let him forget them.
"They're on him all the time, right when he walks in," Colorado senior guard Blair Wilson said.
But the crowd was on him more than ever at the 10:33 mark of the second half when Harrison, who was not available for comments after the game, picked up his fifth and final foul.
Kansas fans had already been chanting Harrison's name throughout the second half in the same chilling tone typically used

dunk.
As Harrison walked off the court he was immediately escorted to the locker room by the Buffaloes assistant coach Terry Dunn.
When it was announced Harrison had fouled the crowd erupted louder than it had during an earlier J.R. Giddens dunk.
"The fans were really taunting him pretty badly behind the bench," Patton said of why Harrison went to the locker room.
"He's already frustrated, and he didn't need that."
Simien, who finished with 20 points and 15 rebounds, is a friend of Harrison off the court. But, when asked if he bothered him to hear the fans taunt his friend, he said simply, "Nope."
"When the ball goes in the air that kind of shuts off for about 40 minutes," he said.
On the court, however, it was only 14 minutes because that was all Harrison's five fouls would allow him to play.
After averaging 16 points and nine rebounds coming into yesterday's game, Harrison scored just five points to go with two rebounds.
rebounds. The poor performance came in front of a handful of NBA scouts.
After Patton reiterated that it was tough for a young man to handle the pressure of having 16,000 fans yelling at him, he acknowledged Harrison needed to learn soon.

"I think they do that same thing at the next level," he said.
