Ollie was quoted after the cincy game saying we got bullied and muscled around, or something to that extent. UConn used to be the baddest team on the block. We used to intimidate and strike fear in another squads front court. If you were playing UConn, you better be ready for a back alley brawl. We were physical and tough. The squad was soft this year. Cincy never has close to the talent we have on our roster. They never recruit over us. But Mick Cronin is on those kids every play (Calhoun-esque). And they respond by pushing us around. Can you imagine a 6'1 guard grabbing a rebound over our front court? Calhoun cursed you out and sat for the half. Ollie claps and encourages and let's you play through. Kids respond to different approaches. But we just weren't tough enough this year. We got what? One technical this year. for Amida slamming the ball, after his 300th foul of the season that occurred 16feet from the hoop while going for a steal on a driving point guard.. [/QUOTE]
