Be my guest. I think we can stipulate that coaches tend to use fewer players in close games. When we lost to Kentucky in the 1996 final, they had 9 guys who played in the NBA and 7 guys played 190 of the 200 minutes. When we lost to Indiana in 1987, they had 7 guys play 195 minutes, two of them going 40. When we beat Kansas, six guys played 195 minutes for them, one of them 40. [/QUOTE]
