Loved Tulsa. Tulsa is the kind of team you have gotta like. They play like a TEAM (4 guys with over 100 assists) I'm in NC and have never seen them play. Tulsa got some tough calls against them down the stretch. They came awful close to the final four.
You are absolutely correct about them. But I guess I'm a little crazy about Pepe Sanchez awesome court awareness. Never seen anybody like him accept Ernie DeGregorio back in the day when every game was exiting. Now days all you notice is players going one on one carrying the ball right in front of everybody and the refs don't call it. Has the game evolved to allowing every violation to be committed and all of this deliberate contact going unattended to by every official? I wonder what ever happened to moving ones feet on defense. Players get ridden like horses now adays and ball handlers carry the ball with no regard for the officials. Lets start encouraging our fellow officials to call that stuff and put a stop to it for it is out of control as we speak. I am a ball player from the 70s/80s and 90s and I never practiced or played that way and contributed to every team in a positive way. I guess if you are allowed to get away with it, it is legal but as soon as I call it you got folks yelling let the kids play. I refuse to let them play that way and hope most others will do the same.
