I think he doesn't want to foul , he knows Haas gets called or cheap stuff so he's leary but yes he doesn't play D well enough for nat'l POY.Just wondering if all his extra work has worn him and especially his legs out. Always hearing how he works out at least an hour after each game. Maybe he needs more recovery time.
...and so the concern for Michigan's bigs that can face the basket...let's hope they go cold and Purdue gets it down to 8 in the first 5 minutes...in defense of his defense, Wager is the worst possible matchup for him. Wagner is a great shooter, skilled ball handler, and just plain fast for a big man. Swanigan is a far better low post defender than he is 20 feet from the rim in open space. Any defensive scheme that sticks him all alone on Wagner with no help is asking to get burned.
