Redick, who, despite at least one certified mugging toward the end of the game, apparently recognized that a W is a W and you gain nothing out of whining about it. Of course, Sean Marshall may have just intimidated him into docility, what with all that chest thumping & trash-talking....<BR/><BR/>...and here is Coach K after the game: <BR/><BR/>"I thought the game was quite physical and not in a positive sense,” he said. “What I think happens at times when you look at two players and one is less talented than the other, you give him some leeway. I think that leeway led to a lot of aggression and a lot of non-calls, and I just have a problem with that. We’ve got guys walking out of here hurt. We’ve played a lot of games and we haven’t played any where three or four guys get hurt in one game.
