Oakland State Men's Basketball Fans Distract Free Throw Shooter With Impromptu Haircut

College basketball games are becoming an arms race between student sections to see who can distract opposing free throw shooters better than anyone else. We've seen swim teams getting in on it lately, but the student section at Oakland University had its own way of causing a distraction.

The Golden Grizzlies played host to the Cleveland State Vikings on Saturday afternoon and with a 62-42 lead for Oakland, Cleveland State's Tevin Smith earned himself a pair of free throws.

That's when some fellas in the Oakland State student section decided it was a perfect time to take a little — or a lot — off the top.

First of all, it takes a brass set to let your college buddies give you a haircut. There's at least a 75 percent chance the finished product will involve a wang on the side of your head. It appears this dude lucked out.

I think these guys also deserve high marks for being considerate of other fans while they gave each other buzzcuts like it's the first day of basic training. Notice the bag on hand to catch the discarded hair. Very thoughtful, although, speaking from experience, if you try to buzz your own hair like that it goes everywhere.

They could give that guy a hair cut in a sterile plastic bubble and there would still be people a few rows over picking shards of hair out of their $20 arena nachos.

Now, a distraction isn't a distraction if it doesn't do its job: to distract.

So how did these guys fare?

Well, Smith drained the first free throw… but missed the second.

A 50 percent success rate isn't too bad for a free throw distraction so congrats to these dudes. The only issue is that it will be a few weeks before their hair is long enough to do it again.

It's not like the Golden Grizzlies needed a lot of help to win this one though. They breezed to an 83-71 victory.
