If I were to use a broad stroke to paint the picture I would say the MD teams stick swing more and the Island teams are more physical with their forearms when redefending. All of the aforementioned are judged a lot more liberally at the College level. Bottom line you're better off moving your feet and getting good body position. I wouldn't call either style " Thug Ball" just different approaches at trying to force a turn over.
