Howie Long is going to tell me I left my man step down for even thinking this, but doesn't the tournament seem a little, well, rougher this year. Enberg and Bilas spend most of the end of the Villanova-UCLA game rhapsodizing about Nova's no-layups policy, which involved putting a Bruin on his butt anytime he went to the hole.
The no-layup rule is something I prefer be confined to the NBA, where nearly everything else that I really don't like about basketball makes its permanent home. If you have a play on the ball it's one thing, but if don't, and all you can do is knock the guy down, it ought to be a basket and a free throw. Reward teams for playing defense, not for a Ray Lewis imitation.
