NCAA needs to do something there’s waaaaaay too much flopping. First flop is a warning to the coaches next one is a technical foul on the bench and the team shoots FYs or personal foul assessed on the player.

Bilas kept making the comment that he’s never seen a high profile player on his back so much in one game. He was stating it under the context that the game was physical... I kept waiting for him to make the connection that maybe Williams was embellishing/flopping but of course that didn’t happen.

One of these games, he’s going to hurt himself on one of those flops where he lands straight on his back. Almost did it a couple of times last night. Hard to respect a player that pulls that garbage.

Flops are invisible to Bilas. Way of life under his mentor

He flops all the time but he's also very good. I'd argue he doesn't need it but he certainly gets the officials attention. Darn near knocked himself out several times tonight so I admire the commitment.

He's pretty crafty all around. Had a play near the end of the game where he tried to push PJ Washington out of bounds after PJ grabbed a rebound. Didn't work but that's both some optimistic thinking and some hustle
I have no respect for him. His tactics take a crap all over the integrity of the game.

It's at the 57:17 point..... It is more of a lunge and like someone else said kind of a corkscrew lunge at that.

Don't use this word very much, but that **** is reprehensible. He lost the ball on the way up and no one touched it. Don't care how good they are, I don't respect any player that plays like that.

He is crying to the ref's when he's not flopping. That tells me he doesn't have confidence in his ability to beat someone straight up. He tries smoke and mirrors, #1 reason he will never play in nba. I think the entire leauge as taken notice of his antics.

Look at the 14:35 mark in the 2nd half. It may have been the most orchestrated flop of the game for him. I would be embarrassed to walk off the court knowing I got points from such soft, fake play.

He has to make up for being a 6'5 post player anyway he can. I hate how he always acts like he is hurt. 250 lb men don't bruise as easily as he acts like. I think our length really bothered him.
