Message: [QUOTE="MD#12Fan, post: 3850339, member: 8636"] I would argue that it's not games but time that is the factor. Like Geno says repeatedly, the kids have been in Storrs since August. This entire year has droned on, from last March until now. It's this whole Covid world that has taken its toll. All the ingredients. No fans, no in-person classes, pizza parlors, family get-togethers, etc, etc. Comparing games is IMO such a small part of it. (like miniscule) I don't cotton to any of this HS to College comparison mumbo-jumbo. They're kids. This isn't NBA, in which games more than double from say 40 to 82, not even counting preseason and playoffs. Not only that, but they play 48 minutes in an NBA game. That's 20% of a 40 minutes game, every night. I remember Bill Walton going off about college kids getting tired in a 40 minute game. He thought it was nonsense. [/QUOTE]
