IUBB vs UT Arlington - Tues., 11/20 @ 7:00 ET

[Maedhros 627]

Y'all are missing that UT Arlington had a game on Sunday just as we did. Ours was on the road, theirs was at home, but they then had to travel to Bloomington for a road game in a tough environment. We should not have been any more fatigued than our opponent.

I was worried there for a few minutes when they got within four.

They had a deeper bench.

Some play 36 or 38 minutes of a game over and over.

And comparing playing X games in X days playing 30 of the 40 minutes available isn’t the same debate as playing 40 straight minutes.

2 different types of fatigue.


And a lot of these young players can handle playing all the minutes if not for foul trouble.

Didn’t Romeo play every minute till he got hurt. 

Phinisee played 39. So he played at least 20 minutes straight. He’s not conditioned for that yet.

He is absolutely conditoned for that. Plus, they have plenty of game stoppage.

So once again why not just play the starters 40 minutes every game

Fatigue or not, mental or not, I’m in the camp that says yes, it’s concerning. But bad games happen. We got out of it with a win, we move on to the next one. Kansas just beat Marquette by 9 after being down 9 at half. We’ve seen IU thoroughly outplay a good team, lose a close one on the road to a decent to good team, and not show up for a scrappy team. Long season...let’s be more logical than usual and trust that Archie and staff can build this thing to more consistency and toughness.

HooRaH! Agree. Lots more games to enjoy, either enraged or enthralled.

I don't think we didn't show up, we had a near 20 point lead. I think we got complacent and UTA stayed focused.
