Correction: a flop is when there's no foul. Smart has been fouled a lot this game and he's smart (no pun intended) to exaggerate it in a road environment.

He has done both. Now he's adding in the Dwayne Wade take a jumper with my leg sticking out 90 degrees. Resulted in a cool looking airball.

EMBIID JUST THREW THE OOP DOWN ON SMART!

 

[jakncoke]

We're fucked

 

[Elfforkusu]

We're fucked

Playing @Cuse, you were always fucked!

Call me crazy, but I think Pitt will win the rematch...

Jamie Dixon is 5-1 against them at the dome. We've done a lot of things to put us where we are now though. Patterson has a slow start, Robinson 3 fouls, missing easy shots.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!

 

[Servbot24]

Come on ISU, you and Nova are the top10 teams I didn't want to see get upset.

 

[Brian Fellows]

This year Gasser is probably going to bounce one in from the other side of the court to beat us.

 

[jakncoke]

Dammit Zanna

 

[devilhawk]

Nash was losing it so Smart had to resort to covering his teammate's mouth as he was yelling at the ref. Never seen that before.

 

[jakncoke]

guys guys stop picking up dumb fouls ok

lamar.. come on..

 

[Brian Fellows]

Pokes are on fire.

 

[jakncoke]

Some scoring would be nice.

wow in an out, have a bad feeling about this game.

 

[HeisenbergLannister]

Am I the only one getting sick of the Embiid fellatio lately? Yeah he's great and could be special, but most act like he's the next Jabbar or Chamberlain.

 

[jakncoke]

bad shots did us in at the end

 

[Coldnoodle]

Why is Smart kicking his legs out when he shoots?

 

[devilhawk]

Trying to get foul calls.

Every other shot will end up rejected back in his face.

I think Embiid has the potential to be really good, but some of the praise is a little crazy. I've seen media people say with confidence that Embiid is the next Olajuwon. Something that's been said before about players like Michael Olwokandi, so we'll see.

The draft is all about potential and upside these days so I guess the scouts feel Embiid has more of that than anyone else in this class.

 

[jakncoke]

lol no time went off

edit; nvm 3 tenths. big time patterson lets do this

edit; sigh..

gg

Embiid's footwork in the post is already comparable or better than dwight howard's. That's how much potential he has or how shitty nba centers are right now.

that's not saying much. D12 footwork is trash.

 

[ISOM]

Well yeah but the point is that embiid is a franchise center in the making.

 

[Fjordson]

That's true, NBA does not have many great centers right now so that probably elevates Embiid even more for the pro scouts.

 

[Coldnoodle]

Smart flopping all over the world.

 

[CronoShot]

Selden completely missed Smart. If they call a flagrant, that's absurd.

Edit: And they did call it. Wow. If KU loses because of that...

 

[devilhawk]

Marcus Smart makes basketball unwatchable. This flopping is garbage. Absolute garbage.

 

[KingGondo]

We have a shot at the end. All I could ask for with this depleted team.

 

[Elfforkusu]

wtf happened with the OSU/KU game? Wasn't KU up by like 20?

 

[Brian Fellows]

Michigan looking good early in Madison......fools gold.

 

[Elfforkusu]

#13 on OSU is an idiot. Why do you not give it right back to Smart?

e: But he redeemed himself by burying the 3, so I guess that's alright.

 

[Coldnoodle]

AW SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIET

 

[CronoShot]

Why on earth did Bill Self call a timeout?

 

[Coldnoodle]

LOLNASH

LOLNASH

LOLNASH

 

[Elfforkusu]

Soclose.

Really needed a timeout to get sorted, dude dribbling up the court didn't really have a plan.

 

[devilhawk]

KU survives Marcus Smart flopping all game like a fish out of water.

Will lose his entire paycheck in the league.

 

[Future PhaZe]

Nash played himself out of the draft today

Looked about as bad as you can possibly look

 

[Nesotenso]

Jayhawks survive in the end. Oklahoma State went mad from the 3 in the second half.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Michigan looking good early in Madison......fools gold.

Yes and no...

Haven't seen a lot of Michigan this year, but I remember you guys can shoot the lights out, and statsheet backs that up. Also says you aren't reliant on getting to the FT line offensively.

That's a blueprint for winning in Madison if there ever was one.

Is winning at Wisconsin even allowed?

 

[SyNapSe]

how do you go to the cameras/replay and decide Selden should be hit with a flagrant. Bizarre. Smart swinging his head out of the way..sure. Holding his chin and getting a flagrant. wtf?

The Dee Brown Illinois teams did it!

...that feels like centuries ago.

The Academy Award went to Marcus Smart today. That's the most flopping I've seen since Tyler Hansbrough.

Why is Wiscy always overrated by KenPom? Does it imply that defensive efficiency is not as indicative to future success as offensive efficiency?

They have us right where they want us.

3 straight bad possessions from Levert.

Loss stings. I guess only positive we have no? cuse fans talking shit and rubbing it in?

 

[Elfforkusu]

kenpom is purely efficiency based. It treats a 40 point win as 2x as good as a 20 point win (ok, it's not quite that simple, but that's the gist), or at Wisconsin's traditional pace, a 30 point win as 2x as good as a 15 point win. It also has no way to account for the Madison HCA.

imo those two account for most of the disparity.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Stauskas. Goddamn!

Wonder if Devin Harris is watching? He was money with that same shot
