I think there should be a "flopping" foul. If an official (in their opinion) witnesses an obvious attempt to simulate a foul, they should call one on the offender flopping....

Thats a bit much in my opinion.I mean granted i dont think they should call the charge if a guy flops but calling a foul on the guy for flopping is a bit much.I mean most the times if the guy flops it opens up a shot for the other guy so by calling a foul it would call the play dead and take away a possible shot(a lot of times).

Flopping is getting ridiculous though. Maybe if players spent more time playing the game and less time trying to make the calls for the refs...

I'm going into the Phog this afternoon, to watch the Jayhawks host the 'Huskers from Nebraska. Should be a good time. If anyone here has ever been to a game in Allen Fieldhouse, then you know it rocks.

Then Wednesday they travel to K-State for what's shaping up to be a challenge from Michael Beasley and the resurgent Wildcats.

(Georgia)Tech won their third straight overall and third straight ACC game!the beat Virginia 92-82 in OT.Matt Causey has come on strong scoring 30,18,and 18 over those last 3 games.This is a pleasant surprise and i hope they keep it up.

Wow.Idk if any one else saw the MSU/UM game but MSU looked mighty tough.If they can get going like that in the tourney theyre gonna be tough to stop.Neitzel was on fire and Lucas had a big game also.Raymar Morgan is a freakin man beast when hes on.Had a somewhat off day and still had 13pts and 5 rebounds.

So my Jayhawks drop their first game @ K-State since 1983. Beasley is a beast and comes as advertised! Not a bad start for KU 20-1, and losing to an in state rival makes the rivalry real again. Congrats 'Cats, you did good. We'll see ya later in Lawrence!

Both teams are excellent, though.

Memphis has a pretty good shot at finishing the season without a loss, though I maintain my opinion that there are better teams in the top ten. KU and UNC could beat them, I think.

Memphis' primary strength is their speed. And I say that mainly because they have a really deep bench. They can run all day. Literally. Honestly, I think KU would have a better chance against them than UNC.

And don't forget, Memphis still has to play against Tennessee.

That should be a great game.

(Michigan)State won again last night,but it was far from pretty beating Illinois 51-41.However they are off to their best start in school history and have the best record over a 21 game span in program history.(19-2)Last time they started 18-2 was when they won the championship in '00.

**meatfinger** · 02-03-2008, 11:09 PM

Wazzu is sliding bigtime.... not good. They've lost three of their last four, two of those at home. And we've got the SoCal school next weekend... also not good.

Stanford's better than I thought.

UNC's Ty Lawson may not be able to play in the Duke game wednesday. He tweaked his ankle playing FSU, who put up a magnificent effort against the Tar Heels the other night, by the way.

Speculation at this point. Roy said that Ty wouldn't practice today and that it would be Tuesday afternoon at the earliest before they'd know anything more.

FSU gave UNC everything they could and the boys (even without Ty) pulled it out.

The ESPN news line at the bottom of the screen said he was doubtful.

FSU played their hearts out...they're just no match for the powers that be in the ACC.
