Message: [QUOTE="UConnRock, post: 4450104, member: 1024"] This game had more of a mid-season feel. Less experimenting with rotations. Seemed like Hurley wanted to test his top 5 with extended minutes as that group will need the stamina to play more minutes in close games. Through the 1st 8 games the depth and talent wore out the opposition. Playing 3 games in 4 days in the PK event forces a coach to distribute more minutes. However, either on purpose or out of necessity from Hurley's perspective, the starters has 37, 36, 33, 31, and 29 minutes. Karaban playing 37 minutes was a surprise, but there were obviously some match-up issues on the defensive end that kept Karaban in the game. Maybe when Johnson returns he will get some of Karaban's minutes. [/QUOTE]
