Flop call?  Is that new?

Yeah. They've made an emphasis on stopping flopping. There's two different flopping tiers, actually. What you saw was the Tier 1 penalty. They also have a tier 2 penalty,

ho. lee. shit.

[Wally Pryor 5261]

I guess someone will eventually tell the graphics dude that it's not UTEP in the bonus.

#9 Creighton is tied with some school named St Thomas 49-49 with 12 mins left. Things could be much, much worse.

Shades of DJ Augustin on that one. You sag on D to prevent the drive, you just might pay with an easy 3.

It's not new. they've had it in men's basketball for a few years now.

What the fuck are you talking about we're kicking the shit out of this team. 

[shadow_operative 15932]

17-4 run, 7/9 FG in that span. 

10 TO's forced in less than 15 minutes.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Rice is smooth. 

[TexArcher 37767]

Oh, that's mean.

Oh I meant some of the worries about the slow start. Just saying slow or even awful starts in G1 are ignorable. Texas should win by 25 easily tonight.

utep throwing a flop party. 

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

Agree with Blanks: those are tough calls, imo. 

[ztejas 43411]

I don't understand this flopping thing. 

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

And some people call him TyyyyyyREEEEEEEEEEEESE!

[perfectchaos007 6625]

The flop warnings are a bit overkill imo

[chemHORN 1239]

I've seen worse flops but he 100 percent was trying to draw a foul

[shadow_operative 15932]

morris with the dribble drive, dish to hunter, splash from three. let's go!

I don't think anyone was actually worried, were they?  Christ.  It was just a few slow minutes.

Offense looks so much better when we get paint touches

Is this a bad thing? I almost created a similar thread yesterday focusing on the Texas season.

It's standard for college officiating. (I hung it up after last season)

- start the season calling everything by the book

- get complacent midway in the season because you're mentally tired

- call everything by the book in the tournament because you want to advance

 

easy peasy. 

[CheesePie 238]

This is what Texas basketball is supposed to look like. Buckle up gentlemen.

No, they changed the ruling. They've made an emphasis on it, for one. Also, they've made it a technical foul. The officials are also supposed to be harsher about calling the kick out type efforts to draw a foul off a shot, James Harden style. 

One of the keys, from what I've read, is don't lead with the head drawing back. But there's a bunch to it. If this game is any indication, we're going to see a ton more flop calls this year. 

[MirrOlure 14760]

Ewers working security…awesome

[justhookit 4191]

UTEP is bad. This will be a fun season we are going to be really good. Please take Cunningham out there is no reason to play him with these guys unless we have foul trouble or it’s garbage time.

It's not a bad thing--it's what those predictions were.

UTEP can chip away here? What game are you watching, Lance? 

[HillCountryBevo 231]

Question for derka @shadow_operative I saw that art Morris has a comp to ja morant on 247. Is that legit?

[Braff Zacklin 13553]

That ref was BTA and called a block on a great play.

[shadow_operative 15932]

Disu's atgleticism makes its debut. thrilling block that was incorrectly called a goaltend.

I can only imagine that he thinks we're going to goaltend them to victory.

[Valmy77 13225]

Should have passed on that fast break. Ah well.

[TexArcher 37767]

UTEP has 18 points and 18 minutes and Lowell's trying to will them to an 85-83 victory.

i mean, if you were to compare him to an absolute superstar, all-nba caliber player, then yeah, he reminds you of Ja. effortlessly explosive with real deal basketball skills. he has the potential to do it all. in baseball terms he'd be considered a five tool guy with 60-80 potential across the board, especially on offense. but we'll see how he actually turns out. if he returns as the team leader next season he'll have every chance to prove those comps correct.

Bishop has been a total non-factor. 

[VinyVango 684]

Doesn’t ESPN have a college water polo game it can assign the dynamic Lowell and Lance duo to?

[D3zii 3675]

Does anyone know if DirectTV stream has Longhorn network????

That was beautiful basketball by Timmy.

I was angry, annoyed and pissed off. Then I realized it was Gallindo. Turned off the TV sound and turned on the great Craig Way. Life’s good again.

I'm sure there's a sports bar somewhere in Detroit with LHN.
