No layups

This seems like a small thing, but I feel like in some way, that is the point of blogging...to point out little things.

Anyway, watching Davidson in the tourney last year and then again tonight, one thing I've noticed is that they almost always seem to foul hard and not let teams get layups. Which, it seems to me, makes a lot of sense when you are an "underdog." You can't let teams get easy points. I feel like Davidson's overall defense isn't great, but that seems to be something they do consistently. They make teams earn points at the line. And over the course of a game, that can have an impact.
