Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2426602, member: 716"] You know, preparation for the postseason crossed my mind - it seems that NCAA games get officiated more closely and physicality isn't rewarded. I thought of a couple outliers -- Marquette and Butler -- but I never considered the game where we were the aggressor. Yeah, that was a lot of fun, but boy did we get away with some rough defense in that Indiana game. So maybe rough play wins in the NCAA a little more often than I think. Anyway, I still believe we get plenty of that in the league. Miami, Virginia Tech, Louisville (assuming they still play the Pitino style). My preferences for non-conference are as follows: 1) Win. 2) Stay healthy. 3) Get developmental minutes for [U]everyone[/U]. Injuries happen, but I think playing physical teams further jeopardizes #2. So I'd like to minimize that as much as possible, then hope that Buzz Williams toughens us up so that we don't pull a 2013 Indiana. (Or 2010 Syracuse.) [/QUOTE]
