...the only embarrassing thing was he tried to flop when a 170 lb weakling tagged him and 19000 fans called him out on it.

Agreed. If we play in the championship game I expect it to be much more physical

They better be more physical or they won't advance far in the NCAA's...too soft

No, they'll prepare better and make it harder for BYU. Remember the '15 & '17

John Stockton-like checks. Not fun to play against someone who

Hopefully that means early foul trouble for them

This is really good. Helps enlighten those saying it wasn’t a basketball play.

Should be happening 30-40 times a game with a well run defensive scheme

ochobeeguy

2/23/20 11:22pm

This ^^^. It is really well coached, really well executed defense. When you hedge the wing help has to check the

It was a flagrant. The dude’s held flew backwards and to make it worse

The dude flopped, hence the chant.

Was it flagrant the first time Haws tagged him? What about when Harding did it?

embarrassing for Petrusev? oh, absolutely.

Back and to the left. Maybe there was a second spitter.

It was reviewed on replay. You're wrong.

SoCalCoug

2/24/20 8:19am

honestly the first one when it was 2-2 looks worse. The one at 18-19 is a flop

I agree, Petrusev should be really embarrassed. What a flop.

Every team Gonzaga plays from now on is going to check them like that

I have no problem with a hard check, but my concern is that Coach Few will be sure to address those checks with the

No touching

2/24/20 6:23am

He doesn't need to, it is a regular part of the game down low.

ImuaKahuku

2/24/20 8:47am

Either of these could have been fouls on Haws. BUT, it does make the flop more

Iman23

2/24/20 7:21am

I had shown the play to my son yesterday as he had not seen it.

Good post I will eat crow on my earlier post claiming not a basketball play

kiyoshige

this is good. in real game time, it did look bad but in this context he sold it

nybyblue

2/24/20 8:31am

Solid post! At the time, I knew it was a foul and a flop. Little ol' 170 lb TJ

2/24/20 8:39am

The Haws "love tap" was nothing. I also think Petrusev did himself a disservice

ImuaKahuku

This post needs to be stickied for everyone to see.

Westsider

2/24/20 8:46am

Great post. Petrusev was anticipating it the 2nd time and was ready to sell it.

Unibro

2/24/20 8:49am

This type of post should do wonders for Petrusev's draft stock

Man, it seems like Tillie flopped on Harding’s tag in the last video as well

Definitely!

This is some Hans Olsen-level analysis here. Nice job.

WhyaskY?

2/24/20 9:25am

If you watch, Haws is trying to cover two people. The hard hit was to negate

oldrugger

2/24/20 9:53am

Oh, and Petrusev floped. He didn't even want to be there.

oldrugger

2/24/20 9:55am

After the first game Gonzaga was not expecting a physical game. Next game

oldrugger

2/24/20 9:59am

Gonzaga is not that deep this year. That is a red flag for them. They are a 7

BYUheaven

2/24/20 10:16am

BYU is deeper than Gonzaga

Nope. They have one guard and one forward that get minutes in their rotation...

This is the kind of post that truly deserves POTD. Let's hope no one posts

Great work on putting together this post but I still think it deserved a F1

PortlandCoug

2/24/20 12:20pm

I think Petrusev did not even wnat to be on the court, so he flopped and left.
