What the fuck are you talking about we're kicking the shit out of this team. 

Oh I meant some of the worries about the slow start. Just saying slow or even awful starts in G1 are ignorable. Texas should win by 25 easily tonight.

The flop warnings are a bit overkill imo

It's standard for college officiating. (I hung it up after last season)

- start the season calling everything by the book

- get complacent midway in the season because you're mentally tired

- call everything by the book in the tournament because you want to advance

 

easy peasy.

It's not new. they've had it in men's basketball for a few years now. 

No, they changed the ruling. They've made an emphasis on it, for one. Also, they've made it a technical foul. The officials are also supposed to be harsher about calling the kick out type efforts to draw a foul off a shot, James Harden style. 

One of the keys, from what I've read, is don't lead with the head drawing back. But there's a bunch to it. If this game is any indication, we're going to see a ton more flop calls this year.

Is this a bad thing? I almost created a similar thread yesterday focusing on the Texas season.

It's not a bad thing--it's what those predictions were.

Question for derka @shadow_operative I saw that art Morris has a comp to ja morant on 247. Is that legit?

i mean, if you were to compare him to an absolute superstar, all-nba caliber player, then yeah, he reminds you of Ja. effortlessly explosive with real deal basketball skills. he has the potential to do it all. in baseball terms he'd be considered a five tool guy with 60-80 potential across the board, especially on offense. but we'll see how he actually turns out. if he returns as the team leader next season he'll have every chance to prove those comps correct.
