Corbin is a physical team, they got called for fouls all night long that they normally don't get called for. The one guy they needed to be physical was not, and that was Igo. He was pushed out away from the basket all night, and although scored some it was a night they needed him to be "the Man" and he was not. The Goins kid tried to step up and hit some big threes but they did not have anyone else who could score enough to get them back in the game. Corbin had it tied and could have taken the lead but had a turnover and a missed shot. If they had gotten the lead with under two minutes to go they could have pulled it out and let the Jackets foul them but could never get the lead.

This is where getting the benefit of all those calls in region all season long puts the Hounds at a disadvantage. They are used to doing certain things and getting away with it and when faced with not being able to do those things they have no game to fall back on, which was the case tonight.

If what you say is true, then why has Corbin won more games in the 13th region tournament over the past 10 years than any other team? The last two years, they actually were beaten by teams that were much more physical than they were.

Corbin is actually not very physical this year, but I will say that the emphasis to cut down on rough play that was mandated, was good for Corbin this year. Corbin's only size is Igo, and it is just not in his personality to be very rough. Grubb plays pretty physical for his size, but that's about it from what I have seen.
