Message: [QUOTE="HuskyNan, post: 4447917, member: 4"] For the third time, I had season tickets to UCF for two years. The team did NOT usually play rough or dirty basketball. They were physical, yes, but so is UConn. I saw absolutely nothing out of the ordinary in most games. UCF turned up the physicality in the UConn games because they were at a clear disadvantage in height and talent. UConn always gets teams that play physical. Some of the kids did go too far, and Coach Abe didn’t seem to mind I’ll admit, but it was not typical of UCF. UConn fans go into “our girl” protective mode sometimes. I understand that a lot of you think of the players as granddaughters but it’s kinda paternalistic, to be honest. I’m sure the players see themselves as players that are women, not girls that play basketball. I haven’t seen any Georgia games so I can’t speak to how Abe is going about her business there. I’ll be interested to see what our SEC fan friends think [/QUOTE]
