Should the Gators foul more?

    On the surface, it sounds like a dumb question, but this team fouls so little. No Gator had more than two fouls against SC today and it's been rare recently for any Gator to reach four fouls. I can't be certain, but it feels like a Gator has fouled out only two or three times this season?
    Tough defense w/o fouling has to be one of the most positive hallmarks of CMW's teams. Are we at a point, though, where they need to play more physical? Our players also don't get to the line enough, which contributes to the inconsistent ft shooting. You wouldn't believe how many times our starting guards had zero foul shots in a game.

    Has anybody looked at this @Efawcett7?

    The best I recall we've had players foul out very few times the whole season.

    Was it Auburn that we had CC and Duruji sitting out much of the first half? I think the better view is who fouls. We didn't have much depth at C & PF until Felder and JJ started contributing more. I feel the guards should press for more turnovers since our perimeter players have better depth. Yes fouling can mess up some rotations but most of the wing players are interchangeable.
