Fair to say Crean let the bench players get more time late in the first and the entire second half? That seems like a more plausible explanation for the lackluster final 25 minutes. Did we see lots of weird lineups after murdering Bellarmine in the first 15?

Seems like Bryant, Hartman, and Biefeldt didn't play much in the second half. Other than that it was normal

I remember a Syracuse team in 2009-2010 season that lost to a divison 2 team Le moune in an exhibition game at home 72-69. They ended up 4th in the AP polls and fininished 30-5 (#1 seed that lost to butler in sweet 16). It could of been worst we could of lost although if the season ends up like syracuses I would take a loss in an exhibition game if we ended up with a season close to that minus a loss in the sweet 16

So we played the first half (at least the first 15 minutes) as we are going to play this year (with some big bodies down low).... and then we played the rest of the game like last years team....(Small and letting leads slip away). I am fairly certain those minutes won't be split like that come Friday or after so i am very happy with the way we played this game... as mentioned no injuries (and some extra rest for those possibly nursing injuries) is a very good thing!

TB only played 16 minutes (as did Max). I agree the minutes won't be split like that, I think it was both line-up experimentation (which is exactly what you want to see in these games) and TB was in the boot Monday morning, so I doubt they wanted to overwork him and risk injury/reinjury.
