I don't know if they're appreciably more physical than anybody else, but it didn't help last night that they were often left alone from the 3-point line and couldn't knock the shots down. If you make 3-pointers, you're less likely to be called overly physical.

Is that the best Reggie Miller can do? So bad.

 

This FAU team is deep.
