I think I agree with what you’re saying here. But just one clarification: I was engaging in a rhetorical flourish about Geno. Of course winning is not a strategy. This was just my way of warning against trying to micromanage game tactics from a social media armchair. But heck, this is what the BY is for, so why should I fuss about it? I do it too.

I really agree about BE blowouts. They’re mainly preparation for the tournament. Villanova beat us last year, and Creighton and Marquette gave us a run for our money in two other games. But even those were mainly preparation for the NC run we made.  In effect we have 20 games for Ice Ayanna and Amari to claim their minutes on a top tier team about to make a NC run.

One last fussy remark: we have all picked up on the “everyone eats” idea and I like to fantasize about a deep rotation as much as anyone else. But for many years, Geno has taken deep rotations from the regular season and gradually contracted them until he’s effectively playing only 6 or 7 come tournament time.
