UT is a notorious flopping team

[UKBrassowTipIN]

Have been for years...so how do refs keep falling for it. Vescovi, Zeigler, Knect it's a guaranteed flop on offense throwing your head back, falling down on 3's, throwing your body in the paint. And vescovi goes flying on defense.

Does common sense ever come into play for officials? Especially how many times they fall for the falling on 3s.

Knect is a great player, pretty weak he also pouts and plays that way.

Anyone have a clip of that reeves foul where he was just standing there in a defensive stance and he got called for a foul on Knecht

Knecht flapped his head back every time he had the ball. It is such a pansy way to play the game. I hate it.

Grant Williams owns this thread.

Tired argument - great effort by both teams. I didn’t see anyone flip or fake anything.

Because SEC officials are the worst in the business.

Most SEC teams learn to play to the SEC officials.

That’s why they all lose early without them.

UK doesn’t play to SEC officials since we are not a regional team.

That’s why we thrive once we are away from them.

Only three things keep the Vols from being a good BB program.

1. They low down
2. They dirty
3. They some snitches

Grant Williams is the biggest flopper in college basketball history. There will never be anyone that rivals his antics.

Grant Williams was a giant whining bitch at uT.

Vescovi is pushing his legacy.

I mean, most Tennessee and Duke players should be playing for Julliard.

I honestly didn't notice anything like that today, and wasn't cussing the officials.. I'll watch it again tomorrow when I can focus on something besides just somehow winning.

While normally I'd agree, I didn't see a lot of that today on their end.

Just normal stupid SEC reffing.

 

[ktbug]

Saw him whippin his head back. If they can control the whip back, they weren't fouled.

Agreed. I did see some classic flops in the Duke/UNC game by both teams. That, and the Flip Trip, left me really hoping that both teams would lose.

Knecht after he missed his second 3.

Sorry to hear that.
When did you go blind???

I was going to start a thread to count the number of times Vescovi and Knecht flopped their head back like they were shot or failed their arms like they had been mugged.

I just gave up. Too many to count. Vescovy flopped under the basket at least 3 times if not more. And Knecht either hit the floor or failed back EVERY TIME he shot the ball, ending up in the floor several times and crying to the refs like a little b.

 

[warrior-cat]

I don't see how anyone could not see Knecht fall/flop every time he drove to the basket. Need to check his shoes. He was Knechted to the floor for a quarter of the game.

They do jerk their heads back on all contact hoping to get a foul. A tactic taught by many coaches, just not Cal. Vescovi however is the worst in SEC but he was a total non-factor yesterday on both ends. Noticed he only played 21 mins.
