refs ahead of time. Haws is so light that he isn't able to just hold his ground on the check - he has to launch himself forward. Easy to call that if you see it.

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

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

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?

Petrusev is from Europe...they know how to "sell" a flop

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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