1st foul on Ben was awful. 4th foul on Ben was awful. And don't even get me started on how many handchecks and blocks UConn has gotten away with. Home court advantage (or point shaving?) at its finest.

Yes. Play basketball, don't flop like a sissy. Total punk move.

Stop complaining. It wasnt a flop. His momentum carried him into Ben. I also don't think it was a foul on Ben but it wasn't a flop. You sound like a Michigan fan.

lol even the announcers said it was a great acting job and that he acted like he got "hit by 10 ton truck." Next.

You let your love for Kemba mask the flop. It was a flop.

I'm not serious about point shaving, but yeah home court advantage is very real and it almost always has to do with borderline fouls.

You can whine and point to officials all you want guys. The fact of the matter is, Brey brought Hansbrough in to early and he committed a stupid foul. Just not smart from a senior.

Wrong bro. Use your DVR and rewind it. They said nothing about an acting job. They said he looked like he got hit by a truck. Flip flop it how you want to make it sound good. Next.

Yes and yes. But that doesn't excuse foul call #1 or foul #4 on Hansbrough. Oh well not like it really matters still #2 seed for BE tournament... just going to be super annoying to listen to Doug Gottlieb the rest of the week.

I won't say he flopped or didn't but I have seen guys get hit by a screen and not fall. I have seen plays like that all the time in the lane, but no one falls. Kemba actually just hit Ben on the side but flew half way out of bounds. Kind of suspicious.

But I will say on the other hand, it happens all the time in basketball. Nothing I should get too upset over

They mentioned the "theatrics" by Walker later. Rewind your DVR. Flip FLOP is right Kemba lover.

As a senior you cant let a bad call that happened ten minutes ago in real time affect you. He had to be the leader and committed a dumb foul. I still think it is more Brey's fault. Why put him back in? The game wasn't slipping away.

There is no denying that. But the fact of the matter is, two of those fouls were crap to begin with. I'm shocked they didn't hit him up with his third earlier when he got all ball on the block of Walker.

You don't get two awful calls against him, we aren't talking about this. But there were two crap calls. That's the fact of the matter.
