This is the one concern I have with the team right now. We struggle to play individual post defense without fouling. IMO Hamilton, Odusipe, Hornbeak, and Garcia all struggle here. Last night the first three had 4 fouls and Hornbeak had 2 in 4 minutes. Freeman exposed this problem in the second half of the Akron game and it was the only reason Akron stayed in the game. You're right that they were ticky tack. Many were not egregious but the fact that it kept happening showed a lack of adjusting to how they're officiating you. Fortunately for us, our perimeter defense is so good it makes it harder to expose the post defense and pounding it in the post is not something teams are great at now a days.
