We've had conversations on minutes played here by a team, most notably UConn and, to some degree, ND, and the reasons/rationale/strategy behind the numbers.

Was interested to see your view on the Baylor minutes, that's all. 
So, I'll try to take the Mulkey-Aston-Coale triangle of animus out of the question. 
To do so, I went to three recent wins against KSU (75-50), Kansas (83-48) and Iowa State (79-50).  The mega-minutes by the big three -- particularly Brown -- is still there:

- Against KSU, Brown played 37  minutes and Cox 34.
- Against Iowa State, Brown 39, Cox 39 and Wallace 34
- Against Kansas, KB 36 minutes and KW 31 minutes.

Looking at the box scores (quarter by quarter), most of these games were pretty safely in hand.

So, I see those minutes and wonder the rationale behind them.
- Does Kim Mulkey believe in getting that machine well-oiled?
- Does she not believe her bench players can seal the deal?
- Lots of injuries that preclude her from doing so?

Once again, interested in your take. Thanks for consideration.
