Great job by UCLA to get it from 8 back to 1. Also Quinerly has looked great tonight, sure Nova missed him badly ever since Gillespie went down.

Nova really could have used him.

Havenāt watched a ton of Bama this year but Iām pretty confused on how they are third on kenpom defensive efficiency. They look super undisciplined on both sides and I feel like they have allowed a lot of dribble penetration this half

Based on their profile they prevent assisted buckets and 3PA. Though Iām convinced they and LSUs d3p% is just cause the sec canāt shoot

Well, the SEC DPOY has been on the bench for the past 13 minutes.

It definitely seems like the lack of nonconference games skewed a lot of teamsā KP rankings.
Also a good point
If thatās not a charge on Jaquez how is it not a flop on Bama?
Yes, Iād have given a flop warning personally there.
Sometimes itās just a āplay-onāā¦

I mean I guess but I donāt really understand how that exists in the scope of the flop warning. If thereās illegal contact by the offensive player, itās a charge. If thereās illegal contact by the defensive player, itās a foul. And if thereās neither, but the player goes down, how is that anything but a flop by definition? Itās not like he was off balance and fell, he went down looking for the foul call.
Sign me up for a 5 ot game for UCLA-Bama

feels like Bama will somehow have a 9-point lead at halftime

I donāt really get the point of the flop warning. If a guy flops and itās not a foul, just give the offensive guy the advantage that results.
Not all contact is illegal; the flop warning is supposed to be for embellishment. I thought he embellished, but I can see the official deciding that he just slipped.
I guess my point is that just because there is contact doesnāt mean either has to be illegal. But I have to admit not being fully up on the flop rules. It just seemed like that was a good no-call either way to me.
I donāt disagree, but with the rule existing that seems like it has to be a flop then
I disagree. Flopping deserves an additional penalty beyond just not rewarding it. Itās just bad for the game. Weāre not watching World Cup soccer hereā¦
Yeah I mean if thatās the call sure, it just looked clear to me that he didnāt slip and was trying to draw a foul.
I agree, Iām not asking for a foul. But that seems to be the exact area where a flop warning would come into play when a guy goes down and thereās no foul.
