During the game Plav fouled one of the bama guards. He falls down under the basket and Plav extends a hand to help him up. Then the bama player slaps his hand away and two other bama players run in and engage Plav yanking him away from the point guard that is still sitting on his a$$. It almost looked like they were going to jump Plav right in the game. I don't know what the bama coach is teaching these guys but this will not end well if they keep it up.

Plavsic fouled him hard well after the whistle. His “olive branch”, if you will, was merely an attempt to deflect the fact he smacked the Bama player across the face after the whistle. He even looked at the official before reaching for the Bama player as if to say, “Oops, my bad. I’m helping him up now.”

Just more Uros being Uros. The Bama players knew what happened.

Then the discussion between Plav and the Bama players right afterwards looked epic. Thankfully the refs don’t speak Serbian and Uros wasn’t T’d up.

The slap should have been a technical. Pretty egregious. Refs didn’t want to escalate however and kept the game under control.

To be fair, Uros absolutely smacked the guard right in the face which is what caused him to fall to the ground.

The guard I think pretty understandably didn't want much to do with Uros, and also just needed a second to collect himself and didn't want to stand up. Also generally speaking in these rivalry games you don't let the opposing team help you up, and you're supposed to "pick your brothers up" on your own team.

Uros definitely has a reputation, I don't see that changing anytime soon; it happened again shortly after on the opposite end of the floor against Bediako I believe? I like it, sometimes we need a goon to keep the other team in check, I just hope it doesn't hurt us in a critical situation.

Maybe I’m in the minority but I think we need more of Uros being Uros. He definitely fouled the bama player well after the whistle but the bama player kept trying to make a basket well after the whistle as well. Looked to me like the two other bama players were trying to bait Uros into a T.

Uros is a tone setter! He lets the other team know that its not going to be an easy day coming inside for them. We need him to start and play just long enough to set the tone. I have absolutely no issue with that play in the BAMA game. I dont think he ever intends to hurt anyone, he just has an intensity that gets the better of him sometime. He just needs to learn how to keep it in check. Much like Jeremy Banks.

This is what it looks like to me as well. If he intended to hurt someone I think it would be obvious. I was just thinking that all the bama players were acting like a bunch of offended prima donnas.

There was also a ”discussion” between Quinerly and Uros in the handshake line. It was mostly Quinerly discussing. He made his point known, whatever it was.

We were lucky not to be called for a flagrant foul there honestly.

Also, I saw both Barnes and Vescovi confer with Uros when he subbed in to the second half and I believe they were telling him we can’t afford a tech and to not do anything dumb

Adding my two cents here. Uros is a passionate person. He has fought his way every step of the way, including getting cleared to play when he got here.

Yes, he has to be reigned in, but you watch this kid supporting all things athletic at UT and you cannot deny his passion. And I personally LOVE IT!

He was one section over from us at the football game against bama. Just wandering through the stadium having fun with all the fans. He asked for a fur coat to wear to his girlfriend's softball game and found one, and he showed up and showed out that day.

And I love it. I love everything about the guy.
