Marcus Smart sits down with Holly Rowe of ESPN, discusses incident with fan

His last name may be Smart but some of his recent decisions have proved to be anything but that. After a hasty decision during a game involving a Texas Tech fan, Marcus Smart says he has learned a valuable lesson from it all.

After being suspended for three games, Smart recently sat down with ESPN's Holly Rowe to give his side of how it all went down.

Although Smart wouldn't discuss what all was said during the incident, he says it's something he regrets and would take back if he could.

"You know some emotions and some words went flying around," Smart said. "I'm not going to repeat anything that was said. I'm trying to get past that whole situation. Just a really bad moment and experience for me and my teammates and my family to go through. Like I said, a bunch of emotions and some words that were said between two groups of parties, and it just went down and the result was in a way that me and Oklahoma State and the Cowboys would, if we could, take back."

Smart says he was caught up in the moment and filled with competitiveness when he pushed Red Raiders fan Jeff Orr.

"It was just heat of the battle, heat of the moment, and the competitiveness of me just took over," Smart said.

While Smart has been out on suspension, the Cowboys have fallen into a seven-game losing streak.

"It's a learning lesson. It just shows you can never take this game for granted because it can be taken away from you faster than it was given to you."
