I’m looking forward to the game but question for board gurus….
1) how concerned should CMY be with team health for the long run when he is only playing 7-8 guys?
2) Does minutes in high-stress, back and forth, close ballgames take more out of a player than minutes when you’re up 10-12 the whole game?
I ask these two question because our team looks tired to me and using a short bench, especially how things have gone since ACC play started with OT, 1 possession games every night just takes the air out of the team.

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