Hand checks?

In the last 4 minutes or so MSU was really using the hands on our guards bringing the ball up. Isn't that a foul? Blake was really getting pushed off the ball with the hands of the MSU defender.

The problem is that they don't establish that call early in the game. They definitely won't be calling it late in the game. Purdue is the worst (or best?) at it...they immediately put their hand on the player. Good coaching by Painter IMO. As long as the refs don't call it, which is generally the case. I can't believe Hoffarber doesn't get more upset. He is constantly grabbed and pushed and rarely a call. It's completely ridiculous.
