Several posters have commented on IU's "gutsy" performance against a mediocre 4-8 Northwestern team, while playing with a depleted roster. Minutes played for our starters were - 39, 37, 36, 34, and 34. This was IU's 2nd game in four days, and 3rd game in game in 11 days.
Last night 25th ranked Xavier beat 24th ranked UConn, 74-68. Minutes played by Xavier's starters were - 36, 36, 35, 33, and 30. This was Xavier's 2nd game in three days, and 3rd game in seven days. And btw, UConn had two starters play 40 minutes and 37 minutes.
