“A far as the play in the league, it still is at a high level,” Leitao said. “The physicality is maybe not as much, and I don’t know if that’s so much the Big East or if it has to do with the change in rules.

So there is a distinct personality that hasn’t changed, but the style of play has adjusted to the times.”
