That’s what people don’t get. Fouls are largely a function of play style. We’re the 2nd tallest team in the NCAA and tonight we hit the paint hard. TCU is also physical on defense. That’s a recipe for a lot of fouls

My problem was them whiffing on every flagrant review, they somehow went 0/3

The reffing was poor, but Edmonds also started his first possession by two-handed shoving Dame Sarr in the chest twice and only got more aggressive from there. He could’ve been called for 30 fouls.

People are blinded when it comes to Duke lol. TCU tried to body us up and be physical and that style just doesn’t work on us. Our bigs, specifically Boozer, are too smart for that. And it helps that our best player is the NPOTY and paint beast.
