Message: [QUOTE="Chief00, post: 2920852"] I think the way the refs really hurt us was to take our pressure defense off the table because they weren’t going to allow it. Occasionally, you are going to run into these types of crews - do we develop an alternative type of game - or do we just go with it? Chief couldn’t help but think about the Pitt teams which killed it in the Big East but then almost every year would run into a referee crew from a different part of the country, who wouldn’t allow that level of aggressive defense. Chief said before the game if they could get it to their Bigs in the right spots it would be a long night. The disparity on how the refs called driving to the hoop contact fouls and travels was really perplexing and hard to explain. [/QUOTE]
