Message: [QUOTE="mauconnfan, post: 3375027, member: 489"] I respect the heck out of what Jay Wright has built it's very impressive. Having said that they have clearly found a way to become the Duke of the northeast. On defense they honestly get away with murder and Jay cries on every call as if they never touch anyone. As a matter of fact if the game is refereed as it should be he'd have guys in foul trouble early every game. They are the masters of getting beat off the dribble (Samuel and Gillespie especially) but using the 2 hand hip stop on the opponent and then playing defense with their pelvis and knees sideways as the offensive player drives straight to the hoop. I mean it happens a ton in their games. You can't be riding your guy sideways after he beats you, should be no contact (we'll a little but not keeping him from getting to the spot he has earned) but somehow they are allowed to. I'm guessing that because of their propensity to defend the refs feel they are great defenders always. Hard to beat them when they are allowed to be more physical than the other team right to the basket. Our guys constantly get that called on them. I think I will be yelling hard at the flat screen that game coming up in a few weeks huh? LOL [/QUOTE]
