Wow. This thread.
Hey, I was bored. I tried to change the tone near the end, but clearly that didn't work.It's an all-star lineup.
well stocking and developing the bench is ultimately the head coaches number one priority. but that is another day's conversation.
the fact remains that every year Jim Boeheim plays a short bench and lands multiple players in the top ten list in minutes played.
he's on record many many times stating his philosophy that today's players can play 40 minutes. it's not that he can't sub in it's that he doesn't want to. this year we have 3 players in the ncaa most minutes per game category. battle is #2 (38.3 ), oshae is #4 (38.1 ) and howard is #9 (37.6)
here's your wooden watch list. the best players in the nation. ask yourself why they are sitting and averaging only 32.2 minutes per game?
Grayson Allen Duke 32 mpg
Deandre Ayton Arizona 32 mpg
Marvin Bagley III Duke 32 mpg
Mohamed Bamba Texas 30 mpg
Joel Berry II N.C, 31 mpg
Trevon Bluiett Xavier 34 mpg
Mikal Bridges Vill 31 mpg
Miles Bridges Michigan State 30 mpg
Jalen Brunson Villanova 31 mpg
Jevon Carter West Virginia 35mpg
Bonzie Colson Notre Dame 34mpg
Angel Delgado Seton Hall 30mpg
Marcus Foster Creighton 30mpg
Devonte' Graham Kansas 36mpg
Tra Holder Arizona State 35mpg
Aaron Holiday UCLA 37mpg
Jock Landale Saint Mary's 34mpg
Yante Maten Georgia 34mpg
Luke Maye North Carolina 32 mpg
Brandon McCoy UNLV 27 mpg
Jordan Murphy Minnesota 31 mpg
Collin s e xton Alabama 30 mpg
Landry Shamet Wichita State 30 mpg
Allonza Trier Arizona 34 mpg
Trae Young Oklahoma 34 mpg
if your best players needs to be on the court for the full 40 plus overtime every game then all these coaches apparently didn't get the memo.
boeheim's basic philosophy is just plain bananas and his lack of bench minutes is his own fault.

I think some here are thinking like JB that its a one game thing and the players can sleep tonight. But others are thinking of the cumulative effect. How many think that overall cumulative tiredness of the top guys was improved by the one week off? Anybody see the extra bounce in Battle's step?

funny you'd mention devonte graham of kansas. KANSAS is the only team currently ranked in the top 25 to have a player in the NCAA top 100 most minutes per game . (he's 37th.) one other player from a ranked top 25 team appears on that list (emmitt near st marys). and we got 3 in the top 10 !
My guess is that the top teams find themselves in more one-sided games where coaches are more apt to empty their benches, thereby reducing the chances that their best players will consistently see big minutes. Just a wild thought I had.funny you'd mention devonte graham of kansas. KANSAS is the only team currently ranked in the top 25 to have a player in the NCAA top 100 most mpg and wooden watch .

Alford has roster issues due to the China shoplifting problem. It's not like he's doing it by choice.I get that, I just don't buy it. Neither does Bill Self, Steve Alford, Coach K, or Mike Brey. They have multiple days off between games most of the time. I think it's a non-issue. People complained about this a couple years ago about Cooney and Gbinije and we landed in the Final Four.
top 25 means you're winning games. and name me the 0ther 2 jayhawks averaging 38 + for the season. it doesn't work.
the people rest your honor. (which is more than i can say for syracuse players.)

that would make sense. except for say a 62-47 blowout of eastern michigan where the starters play 40 to name just 1.
the best players from the best program aren't playing 40. read the numbers. what don't you get ? it's the exact opposite of what you think.
anyone can play 40 for a few games. doing it all season is unwise. as demonstrated.
Oh. Well, JB has roster issues because Taurean Thompson and Geno Thorpe quit the team.
What's Bill Self's excuse?
You are what I call reasonable.He only has 8 scholarship players eligible also. Did you really not bother to research that? If you look at his history over the last several seasons, he's played Graham and Mason a lot but that's been pretty abnormal for him
