Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 2427683, member: 485"] That coach may have been a jerk in what he said. His team doubled Battle to deny him the ball and then to keep him from driving whenever he had it, guarded Howard tightly to force mistakes, and played tough on Brissett to prevent him from driving to the hoop (and got called for a bunch of fouls in the process). They were stronger inside -- simple fact. Does not make it a dirty game. Opinions on that will vary, but if you have followed SU basketball over the years, you have seen a lot of tough, physical games against Big Ten teams & Big East teams. I was at the game & watched a replay yesterday. We are going to see more games like that, where our inside guys have to struggle against physical play, and our main scorers get pressed hard by defenders. [/QUOTE]
