One thing in this game , I didn’t see Tarik jacking up many of the 3’s he threw up last year . Nor, did he seem to grab a lot of rebounds . Give him credit , he blocked shots , like he did here . The BE seems to be a much more physical league than the Leagues the Zags and Raiders play in ..Nevertheless, he played well in his role .
You must be kidding me!! Tariq had 5 blocks and 7 rebounds, the most on his team and the second most of anyone in the game. If you watched him play with TT, you would see that he is well coached and plays both great man to man and team defense. There is a reason he is playing 30 plus minutes on a final four team and was in consideration for defensive player of the year. The Big 12 was a much better conference than the BE this year and the best defensive conference in the country.[/quote]. You may be right . I missed much of the first half of the TT game and I didn’t look up post game stats as you did . I commented on the part of the game I saw and did praise TO for his Blocks . He played well , no doubt . As to the BE vs the Big 12 and WAC Conference or whatever the Zags 2 team league is is called , I said I didn’t believe either Conference played as physical basketball as the BE . I didn’t say the BE was better than either Conference , just more physical in my opinion .
