The Academy Awards are less than a month away, and Oregon's Dillon Brooks definitely won't be taking home any acting trophies for his flop attempt.

We've seen some pretty egregious flop attempts in the past, but Brooks' sheer commitment to the flop is ridiculous. Oregon would go on to win, 73-67, but don't expect Brooks to take home the Oscar for Best Collegiate Flop next month.
