Smart's heir apparent.

@wrwlumpy so what can you do about that? Review all fouls involved w/him? What a bitch!
-
I’ve loathed him since the Wisconsin game.
-
I hope we get our act together and then face Duke in March.
-
I have watched this thing about 40 times, enlarged, and both angles. It is a poor resolution–HD video would show if he was hit. One question, though: why would the opp player jerk his hand away immediately after darting it up to defend the ball up top if he did not swipe Allen? You don’t usually pull your hand down when a player raises the ball until he moves the ball. He pulls his hand back before Allen pulls and turns his head down. Would sure be nice to have better video to see where the hand is against that dark background!
-
With all that flopping around maybe he has some soccer in his childhood.
-
@mayjay you must be blind!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Gee, that was friendly. Spoken like someone who is not noticing that I simply asked a question. Why does the opp player pull his hand back before or simultaneously with Allen moving his head? More apparent in the second video.
-
@mayjay probably cause of trippers reaction. Sorry judge!
-
It is all over the internet and I have yet to see anyone saying he was hit or touched…other than you, of course, not even ESPN.
Oscar wordy acting, extra points for the tears.
-
@JayhawkFanToo I will give you a dollar if you can show me where I said that. Incidentally, I looked all over the internet and found lots of sites, too, saying exactly what you say. What I would point out, however, is that all I found had the same tweet as the source. I just want to see a clearer video. So hang me.
-
@mayjay There’s lots of hangable posts on this website, that’s not one of them. Some people don’t know how to respond well to someone simply asking a question!
-
Looked like he got him a bit in the nose. Still a sell by Allen. I hate the kid. But I think @mayjay is right.
-
@approxinfinity Thanks. What is weird is every article out there about this has that same tweet. In the ESPN highlight video, the guy who got called for the foul (Chris Thomas) immediately turns and scurries back to his bench with his hands low. No gesture of disbelief, no look at the ref, nothing to indicate he was confused by why he’d gotten called. I agree–Allen defintely sold it. He made one of two FTs, and was pulled from the game a few seconds later, but started the second half. If Allen didn’t get hit, no one tried to say so during the game. Only after that tweet.
Note to @wissox: just felt like doing only one paragraph. Better for ranting!

I disagree; therefore, I’m offended.

@wrwlumpy Ingenious. The Gracie Allen reference for Trip Boy … that is brilliant.
-
It looks like his finger tips may graze Allen’s face. The reaction is priceless though. Man, up

Actually he is more talented at acting than Gracie. Not as cute by any means. And definitely not funny at all.
-
Let me rephrase, you seem to be one of the few “questioning” whether Allen was hit or not and his reaction, everybody else seems to be convinced the video shows he pulled a Smart, regardless of alleged grazing or lack thereof. Better?
-
It’s hard to see if Allen got hit, but that doesn’t mean he didn’t get hit. A fingernail to the eye can do some damage.
-
@JayHawkFanToo “Everyone”? Why no complaints, even a peep, from Southern? Why no articles on this huge offense against propriety except based on that one tweet with crappy resolution? And why was Allen’s eye reported swollen by courtside reporters?
-
…and what is Southern supposed to say? Duke players are cry baby floppers, antagonize mighty Coach K and jeopardize future profitable games? Really?
BTW, crying and rubbing your eyes tend to make them swell.
-
@wrwlumpy George and Gracie were great.

My wife thinks my eyes are just swell already, but I will try that if she ever complains about them! Thanks for the tip!
