People get upset watching him flop around, but what he did late in the game makes the flopping a damn shame. He should stick with playing basketball... he's pretty good at it.

He played terrible in the first half. Luckily for him, KU did too. Just as he did at AFH in '13, though, he got it done when it mattered. And that's why OSU is going to the NCAA tournament in a year where just about everything went wrong for them.
And, of course, some would argue that flopping is part of the game (as it's currently officiated). How many calls did he get in that game due to exaggerating contact? Perhaps not as many as he would have wanted, but several to my recollection.
