I'm talking from the player's perspective. When I'd already have to swing well above my weight class to go out and compete in a normal scenario, it wouldn't get me valuable reps to get trotted out in front of a racous MSU crowd with Izzo's squad in the middle of an absolute tear and have Coen Carr dunk it off my face so hard it looks like I got a 'Wilson' tattoo on my forehead. Not to mention leaving with less confidence than I had when I arrived. A coach puts those kinds of players in when there's an opportunity for some relative success, not when there's an almost guarantee of flat getting embarrassed. Like was mentioned earlier, the coaches know what goes on in practice and if Reed Bailey is getting prime minutes in conference play, the guy behind him is likely nowhere close to being ready to surprise anyone. We don't need to see what's sitting behind him unless Incarnate Word wants a rematch.
