Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 2440904, member: 202"] I hear your (and many folk's) point about fatigue, specifically for Battle and Howard. But I just cannot give it much credence. I mean, before last night, SU had played 5 games in the previous 24 days. That's nothing. As if Battle/Howard somehow had 4 minutes of rest in the Buffalo or Eastern Michigan game, would it have served us last night? To me, that is nonsensical. I can understand managing fatigue during the Big East Tourney (hey, we've never won an ACCT game) or for a sport like baseball, where they play 29-30 days a month (NBA too ... longer games, much more frequent). But college hoops? I just think JAB is actually providing a tactical advantage when he plays Battle and Howard 40 minutes, while the other squad's "limit" their top players to 34-36 minutes. And all of that is before factoring in the timeouts, traditional timeouts, foul shots, halftime, replay reviews, etc. [/QUOTE]
