For nostalgia reasons, I recently saw the box score for the 1973 NIT win.

Tech played 8 players but I don't think the two freshman Dave Sensibaugh and Kyle McKee played many minutes. Their basic rotation was Allen Bristow, Craig Lieder, Ed Frazier, Charlie Thomas and Bobby Stevens with Calvin Wade as the sixth man. We had a 15 player roster but I think only 13 were on the travel roster. Notre Dame under Digger Phelps with, I think with a 15 player roster, only played six players in the game and I don't think the sub played a lot of minutes. They had no non-starter that played in all of their games and the one guy who subbed in for the NIT championship game only played in about 15 games that season. I'm not sure what that means, but it was an interesting stat.

"Short-bench = tired" is a fallacy. Coach K won multiple NCAA championships
