[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 793509, member: 1776"] Building on your point. As you get deeper into the season and play more talented teams the rotation almost always tightens. Just part of the game. All 4 of the teams in the Final Four are basically 7 to 8 man rotations. Once you get into conference play you simply are not going to find many teams willing to go deeper than that because the dropoff at that point becomes too great and other teams can take advantage of it. Gonzaga has had 1 game all year decided by less than 10 pts and yet you look at their rotation and it's basically a 7 man rotation: 31.2, 30.9, 29.2, 28.5, 27.6, 19.4, 13.6. Then they have some deep reserves that get 5-7 mpg because they win so many games going away. Baylor may have the deepest rotation and it is eight - 34.8, 33.0, 31.9, 26, 22.5, 20, 15.1, 13.9. They basically have a big 3 and then the others fill in around them. Houston also goes 8 deep - 35.8, 33.5, 27, 26.3, 19.3, 19.3, 15.5, 15.0 Finally UCLA, like Gonzaga, is a pretty short bench team, in the NCAA it is 39.8, 37, 34.8, 31.2, 24, 14.1, 9.9, 7.4 Most NCAA teams are pretty similar, you are going to have a core group of 2-4 guys that play 30+ min and then another 3-4 that play 13-25 min. I'd love for our bench to be strong enough that we could comfortably reduce the big 3's time to 33-35 mpg if they all return. FWIW, here were GT's min in ACC games - 37.4 (Jose), 35.7 (Moses), 34.9 (Devoe), 30.1 (Usher), 25.6 (Bubba), 23.6 (Moore), 10.9 (Kyle), 6.4 (Rodney, 12 games). [/QUOTE]
