Is Tyler Ulis the most abused player in CBB?

[EnglandWildcat]

Players push off of him all the time! At least 3-4 times every game he goes flying. I know it probably looks more exaggerated because he is small, but I've never seen anything like it. Why is it never called? I yell at the screen every time. It seems so obvious. Anyone else notice this?

I have.

I watched Ulis from my seat in Rupp all day today, and that kid is a pest. The opposing guards always push off because he's usually right in their grills. I think he frustrates the heck out of opposing ballhandlers and other teams try to play rough with him to try to throw him off his game. It doesn't matter. Too tough.

Tyler got switched on a Florida big in the post two different times today and denied the ball so well the Gators were not able to exploit the obvious mismatch. That impressed me because its was all effort. Kid works his ass off on every play.

I'm really glad he's ours.

I love watching him play. He is a sparkplug.

I recall Cawood saying that about Dicky Beal.

His Chicago toughness trumps any dirty play by an opposing player. I love the way he defends and runs the offense, lucky as hell to have him.

he's about the quickest on the ball defender i've seen. would love to see him check ryan boatright, but it looks like we won't get a chance.

I love the effort that he gives. He and Dom playing together could pretty much shut down an opposing teams backcourt.

Agree with the abuse Ulis gets, but Dakari could file assault charges every game.

I hate seeing any offensive players pushing off, or hooking.

But I don't think Ulis is pushed off any more than others, except maybe because he plays tighter than most. I think it looks like he is pushed more, because he is so light that the force is more obvious when he is pushed.

Ulis has been hit twice in the face with officials staring right at it with no calls. Ulis, Towns, Johnson , and Andrew Harrison are fouled all the time and get only a small fraction of the fouls called in their favor.
