Message: [QUOTE="ThePoint, post: 2427759, member: 3915"] UConn tried to counter our guards by running into them at various points in bringing the ball up the court. This was somewhat successful in allowing them to hang with a better team. Georgetown obviously watched the tape and had their point guard "body check" our guard on the two first plays of the game. Buffalo intended to be physical with our guards - chuck them, hold them and in a few cases - dive under their feet. As was mentioned by the TV analyst, they were taking the risk that the refs will not call all of the fouls. This is classic Pitino strategy. I just do not want to see basketball played that way - I would rather see freedom of movement. Does anyone really like watching this type of basketball? [/QUOTE]
