I agree, fatigue is overated, these kids dont get tired and can easily play 40 mins. JB says so, i agree w his narrative.  however the problem w JBs narrative is that while he is correct, these kids CAN play 40 mins, the REAL question is can these kids play 40 mins AND WIN?? Thats the real question. When there is considerable parity in the college game, you are a team with glaring weaknesses, you have played well such that you have a second half tenous lead or the game is tied late......and one team has gone 8 deep vs another team that has gone 6.5 deep (or we have not rested 3 guys in the 2nd half and other team is giving all their guys a blow) such that the other team is realtively MORE FRESH. ....dont kid yourself for one second, that dynamic will affect the end of the game. It has the last two games. 34-11 to end the last two. That is NOT completely reflective of our teams talent, if it was we would be dominated for the first 35 mins of the game also. The question is can we make adjustments and do something about it...but yes i agree w you, between having a very weak bench and teams figuring us out, and us getting frantic (but i would argue guys not getting blows adds to the helter skelter), it will be a tough adjustment to pull off...
