Garrison incident

Garrison hit the player's face on accident as he was going to the ball. Foul was called. Garrison got moved forward and the Louisville bench started pulling him in to the bench (ostensibly away from the guy on the deck?).

Could've been a T on the bench. Could've been a nothing burger common foul. Just happened to be the latter.
 
The cardinal who drew the foul did a tremendous acting job and then #1 in red pushed Garrison into the red bench. He instigated the whole thing. But it was nothing really.
 
The UofL player on the ground with the ball was out of bounds, then it looked like Garrison was sucked into the UofL bench and one of the players was hugging him, preventing him from getting out of the area.
He wasn't out of bounds. The replay was pretty clear that he wasn't out of bounds. He was a lot further from the sideline than the primary camera angle made it seem.

The whole thing could been avoided if Garrison had dove for the loose ball since he was closest to it, but instead the Card player beat him to the ball and dove on it first because Garrison was slow to react. He tried to make up for it afterwards but that lack of hustle on his part could have cost us the game. The game was in reach for the Cards at the time. At least that’s how I saw it.
 
A kick and face scratch, along with a punch and elbow to the head. Hopefully this is a one off, but if it is a pattern it needs to be addressed before he loses his cool in a critical situation.

The guy beside me said the uofl guy was laying out of bounds but I couldn’t really tell

It was close but I don't think his shoulder ever came down. He was hovering over line. Garrison kind of swiped for the ball and poked him in the head. I don't think the Louisville guys like him standing over their teammate and that is when It started escalating. Nothing really happened though.
 
Garrison and Waterman were trying to bait each other most of the 2nd half. The bench thing seemed like a continuation of that imo

One thing I did notice at the game was Louisville set so many illegal and moving screens. And the waterman guy and Hadley walked about 15 times between them

I think the refs did the right thing by not calling technical, but if Garrison had done that at Duke they probably would have given him a T for slapping Card in the face with his right hand. That was on purpose.
