I don't buy this whole benching that people talk about. Exactly one game he sat out more than normal. Maybe that Pitt second half JB liked what the group on the court was doing? When it came down to crunch time, TC was in. And with the improvement of Frank over the course of the season, JB gave more blows to TC, G and Mali. What other games was he "benched"?

In the 5 NCAA games, TC played the same exact number of minutes per game he averaged during the season. He took exactly the same number of shots per game as he did in the regular season. In the UNC game, he played more minutes and took way more shots than his per game averages.

The one difference in the NCAA was he took fewer 3's. He did start driving more than he did but IMO, that was by design as much as anything. It seemed like all the guards and Mal all drove more. Even Lydon tried to drive from the foul line some.

Except for Pitt 2nd half maybe, I just don't see any benchings and nothing really changed after that regarding PT or shots.
