ffald and 2 fouls out of 12 attempts in a game this last January.
Why. should coaches kick against the zone defense, While it
slows up the game, we cannot see why it should be blasted out,
As long as we live up to the rules, an y team should be permitted

rurdue boys are all over the floor offensively and defensively
