Message: [QUOTE="SoBeCuse, post: 2427245, member: 796"] This is the last I’ll post on it. CuseLifer, you are beginning to insult my intelligence. Please stop with the exaggeration. 49 free throws? Give me a freaking break. Our ballhandling STRUGGLES with this kind of defense. Again, to you and others...I only saw one or two blatant hacks on Frank or Tyus. You guys conveniently ignore the clips I listed on the most controversial Howard plays where there wasn’t the clear Howard obviousl turnovers. Only the foul on Graves at the end had hands on him. Nobody grabbed these guys except for some extremely light body/leg contact before they pushed off. It’s just false to say they were hacking us all game. That’s a lie. Well, I think you are dead wrong. I’m sorry General but 10-15 is an exaggeration, IMO. I respect your posts of course and detail but we will just not agree on this. Fine. I watched your clip and watched it at home earlier as I stated. I don’t see an undercut there. I see Chukwu getting pushed. Yes, should’ve been called a foul. I saw the Brissett play too. To me it seemed that Perkins (?) got contorted jumping and his knee flailed out inadvertently and hit Brissett. No different than the one or two times Chukwu clobbered somebody trying to block a shot with no whistle. I just will not accept that these were dirty plays. Our guys are lanky, thin, light, and obvious shaky ballhandlers. Marek and Chukwu pinball around after slight contact. Just the pure number of predicaments Frank got himself into barely avoiding near catastrophes was staggering. That’s on him. Nobody his hacking him. Nobody hacked Tyus when he tried to dribble through his legs near center court sideline and bounced it either off himself or Marek. Izzo, Frank Martin (exactly how he played us last year), Huggins, and all these great M2M/pressure coaches. You mean to tell me they aren’t going to get up in our grills and bang our guys around? Hell, Happ and Hayes banged our inside players around and pushed them occasionally in Madison. It happens. I’m impressed with our mental toughness in this one and well as the team’s fight. Plenty of people are scoring on UB in the halfcourt and the games weren’t free throw fests. Goodnight. [/QUOTE]
