Agree would've been nice to play the bench, but wonder if efficiency (net ranking) concerns play into the decision. If anticipate being a bubble team, hard to see how efficiency wouldn't be a concern.
Love the Drake and love the net. 7th place among big ten teams in net rankings. Ahead of Depaul, Utah, Oklahoma. Serious benefit to playing a difficult schedule.
I see a team that has been in the dance 2 out of last 3 years and most likely 3 years in a row with multiple tourney wins if not for all player games lost in 2017-2018. I see a coach of the year award - which I dont discount. I see players sticking with and playing hard for coach even through...
