It has been of pet peeve of mine all these years too, but the reality is that JB has coached this way forever, and he's not changing now, he an old dog.  Speaking specifically of this game however, I believe tiredness, etc. had absolutely nothing to do with this game.  We were up 28-19 at the half, and really should have been up like 38-19 or more, considering the fact that this was ND's first game without their point guard and leader, Ferrell, as well as another 100% effort and leader guy in Colson.

What was our issue there, certainly not tiredness?  What about the start of the second half when instead of us simply putting ND away once and for all, we allow them momentum and belief that they can pull this game out, regardless of their two top guys out as they closed the gap to one at 28-27 with 17 + minutes left in the game forcing JB to call timeout.  Were our guys tired at that point, right out of the half?  I don't know, I don't believe that that was the case.  Battle buried that 3 at the end to make it a 49-49 game, he didn't look tired at all on that shot.  But moments later, it was an issue?  Again, I just don't believe it was, not in this particular slow as molasses paced game.
