Jay Bilas comments on First Take

[Jay R]

I watch alot of both NBA and NCAA games. I don't know that Bilas' statement is completely true, but I can see what he means. Twenty years ago, the NBA game was extremely physical. Think back to the late 80s and early 90s when the NBA games were much more physical (Bad Boys Pistons, Knicks etc...) At that time, the NCAA was less physical. The NBA has done a good job of cleaning up alot of the hand checking and the hard type fouls. The NCAA game has become more physical during the same span. I can see how Bilas would make the comment.
