Also, word is that refs have been instructed to call fouls closer again like they did early in the season. It's a matter of adjusting to the reality of conference play.
just what the MAC needs. More foul calls.
Tony has a reputation that he needs to shake. he picked up his fifth foul on a terrible call Weds, but when he has games like his, it's usually that he makes a couple bad fouls away from the ball, or chasing a guard up the floor and hacking him from behind. He's being aggressive in that situation, but he can't be the guy trying to strip the opponents point guard. It's those bad fouls that make the bad call later much more costly. As everyone agrees, we need Tony on the floor to have ANY shot at this thing.
