Nevada guard Jarod Lucas is the king of the flop, a second court storm at Lawlor Events Center in eight days, and where the Aztecs project in the Mountain West standings
You missed it on TV because, well, CBS Sports Network hasn’t figured out that starting games two hours apart never works. Even with a tip “slide” to 8:10 p.m., viewers unable to navigate the network’s streaming app didn’t join the game in progress until 8:36 p.m.Advertisement
Trammell still had the ball as players retreated to their benches, and Lucas reached behind him to poke it away. The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Trammell reacted with an extended forearm to the chest of the 6-4, 195-pound Lucas, who dramatically crashed to the floor like he jumped onto Interstate 80 and took a change on an 18-wheeler. Soccer players would be proud.
“If you watch any of Nevada’s games, Lucas flops all over the place,” SDSU senior forward Aguek Arop said. “That’s all I’ve got to say.”“In high school I have the record for most free throw attempts and makes, so it’s kind of been something I’ve had for a long time,” Lucas told Nevada Sports Net about his ability to draw fouls. “It can be good and bad.

As the final minutes ticked away, a Nevada game operations staffer, thankfully, came by the baseline media table that sits immediately in front of the 2,000-strong student section and warned journalists that there would be a court storm — that students would be coming “over the table.” SDSU’s last court storm at Viejas Arena? In 2019 against No. 6 Nevada, the highest-ranked victory in program history. A year earlier, a win against No. 12 Gonzaga didn’t warrant one.
