[QUOTE=crewchief1692;32607]Yeah I’m mad, the refs were bad but I cant help but think the close game road losses are largely due to exhausted players. At home the crowd helps but on the road this young tired team dosent get the lift from the home crowd. Is our bench so bad they cant play long enough to rest tired starters?[/QUOTE]
Amen. Look at what Opie did last night. At around 4:30 to go in the first half, he burned his mandatory 1st half TO, rested players through that, played about a minute on the court then came through a full TV time out rested played solid then got the halftime rest.
Come to think of it, maybe that was Stallings in the Vandy game. Either way, if your rotation is only 6 men and 3 are freshmen, it might be something to try. I mean, what damage could Vargas or Hood do in 45 seconds?
