College basketball needs to do something about these. I feel like if a ref feels like a player flopped they should be able to go to the monitor and issue a technical. Basketball should not be about acting.

The NBA fining people for it seems to have helped. The money isn't a big deal but it's more the embarrassment of actually getting called out publicly for flopping. Not sure college can do anything. It's been a long time (maybe never) since I've seen a college player flop as much as Smart did tonight.

It's a crappy part of the game, but it is part of the game. You could say Hogue flopped a couple of times in the low post.

Can somebody with too much time on their hands compile a little highlight video of all of Smart's flopping in this game and post on youtube please?
I find it entertaining to watch.

PS: I love you all.

It ****** me off so bad when Smart flopped after Kane's elbow. I honestly thought he flopped his way to a win right there

Apparently you haven't seen the Marcus Smart show much this season. This was not abnormal for him. I thought the refs did a fine job of sniffing out most of his high-jinks.

Franschilla was calling everything like it is. That's a flop, that should have been a foul, that is not a foul, the dude was pin point on calling out the refs.

I feel sorry for whoever mops up the floor when a player goes down at Okie State, must be most overworked in the league with all of Smart's flopping.

More announcers should tell it like it is. They lose all credibility when they are silent or support a clearly bad call. Everyone makes mistakes, there is no harm in acknowledging when the zebras miss one.
