Message: [QUOTE="hoophuskee, post: 5076517, member: 3535"] If you are in many close games then why wouldn't you want your best players playing more minutes (i.e.,.e over 30)? UCONN just got to Final Four with extremely limited bench. Clark got her team to finals playing huge minutes - so what's the big deal? You think Iowa lost to SoCar because throughout the year Clark played too many minutes? Players getting worn down is highly overrated. A team like UCONN might have only Paige this year if they are healthy because of potentially many blowouts and caution due to so many players coming back from injury. But overall if a team like SoCal has many close games why wouldn't you play Juju over 30? CC averaged near 35 minutes for her entire career. She didn't wear down. It all depends on your team and circumstance. If you're team's top players are much better than you bench players and they are healthy and the games arent blwouts then you play those type of players over 30 minutes. [/QUOTE]
