That's my concern with Aluma and the entire team. We saw evidence of it in

Radford game--Radford was physical right up to the edge of being dirty and we didn't respond well (in my opinion). A similar thing happened in the Memphis game. We need to do a better job of playing with the contact and not expecting to get a foul called.

On the positive side, I thought Maddox and Pedulla played well and that they should have gotten more minutes given the struggles we had knocking down the good shots we did get. They've both shown the ability to shoot with confidence and to knock down shots.
