All 6 losses, the other team played their 4 best players at least 29 to 39 minutes in every game.
Realistically, most top teams at this point in the season are playing their Top 5 players at least 30 minutes per game. This 10+ getting 15 minutes will not beat Elite 8 teams or better. Examples…... Sears is averaging 32 minutes a game so is Antonio Reaves KY. Jakobi Walter Baylor 33 minutes. Z. Pullin from Florida 33 minutes. Yesterday, Kentucky’s 4 best players all played 30, 32, 34 and 36 minutes each.
I went back and looked at every loss. Best opponents player plays 34 minutes a game.
