We play roughly 30 regular season games. 
 
Often you are just beginning to sharpen your game and narrow your rotation going into the last 1/3 of the season.

During that first 1/3, can we play and beat some teams keeping our starters in reserve on the bench, a scrimmage that counts?? 
 
Starting 5 of Abraham, Nowell, Ball, Singare, Ross.  Down 5 at the half?  Bench a few of the "starters" for second half, and add in 2 or 3 of the next 5 up the depth chart. Still down with 10 minutes to go?  Put the full starting lineup on the floor.

I realize that this could affect our KenPom and all the analytic  ranking stuff, but if we really have to worry about that for Selection purposes, we are DOOMED anyway.  This way, a guy like Abraham or Ross would get a real shot at showing what they can do in a game outside of practice with low risk to either Conference or Tournament chances.

I realize the coaches see these kids every day and have a pretty good idea what the outcome of this little exercise would be, HOWEVER, the Boneyard would have more real data with which to argue with!!
