We've also heard some chatter about the possibility of Marquette wearing down late in games, given its relative lack of scholarship players and short bench in general. Average minutes in conference play seemed like a logical jumping-off point... https://misix.com/marquettes-uncharitable-conference-season (https://misix.com/marquettes-uncharitable-conference-season)
Hmmmmmmm. I guess fatigue is a legit issue, but I'm not sure I buy a lot of this "tired legs" stuff. These are 18 year-old kids. They can't play a 40 minute game every few days?
We actually don't think it is a legit issue. They may be tired, but no more tired their opponents...at least according what we found in their performance stats.
