Did you ever stop to think that teams that you wouldn't think are better than you in the tourney are so because suddenly your defense is much easier to score on? Hmmmmm now why would that be? Its not the number of fouls its when they call them early in the NCAA and you have to stop playing "defense" (I put that in quotes because we are talking about Pitt and Dixon's style of coaching constant fouling and moving screens on offense which I find disingenuous and underhanded much the way K coaching his guys to fall over is. Look how Duke struggles this year to defend at the rim without being able to flop) the way you were allowed to in the BE conference. Thus the team is shown in a much truer light talent wise than they had been during the conference schedule. If you simply read the rule book and go back to watch BE Pitt games under Dixon it is very clear that Pitt is constantly violating those rules on defense and doing it much more than the opposition. Its a system based on breaking the rules and getting away with it. Plus as this quote from Dixon shows at least to me he often comes across as an underhanded pr!ck. Edit guess that word wasn't allowed.
