Not sure I buy into the "running out of gas" theory. Jacks went 13-4 after the conference schedule started, and 3 of the 4 losses were without their best player. They lost the final 2 games by a total of 5 points without the conference POY. Would NDSU have won in Sioux Falls without either Ward or Shahid ? The loss to Fort Wayne was due more to no Wilson, and a lack of tourney experience, than running out of gas IMO.
“The coach should play the bench more” has been an annual refrain here (and at plenty of other forums) since the beginning of time. Expect the same talk to flare up next February - and every one after.
Next year’s team sure looks to be deeper than anything we’ve seen in a long time but that doesn’t mean 9 guys are going to get significant minutes late in the year.

I agree I would expect this to be the deepest team since some of Nagys div 2 days. I hope they play a deeper bench but it seems like a 7 man rotation is the standard in college basketball. Hopefully hendo breaks the mold since the last 2 seasons sdsu ran out of gas to end the year playing guys to many minutes.
Baylor played only 22 minutes in this game and that is about what he averaged all season. He did play more games tat he played in high school but I don't know about how many more minutes he played.
Mims didn't play much all season.
I would of played Owen King over Mims and Key but that is just me. He played more last year and couldn't have played any worse. I think that Hendo didn't like him but you should have tried this to win this game.

Me either. If you suddenly lose the conference MVP bad things are going to happen.

I could see playing so many minutes having an impact in the NBA where you are playing four games a week, but in conference season you have college kids playing just two nights a week. I think most are able to handle that just fine without getting run down.

If you don't expand your bench to play meaningful minutes they won't be ready to contribute should you have foul trouble or injuries. Additionally, in todays world kids will just transfer if they don't see a path to the court . My biggest criticism of Henderson is he couldn't find a couple of kids more minutes even in games where the the result was never in doubt. Perhaps in the case of Dillon and King he knew they were transferring so that impacted their lack of minutes. I don't attend practice so don't know what transpires there, but Dillon seemed to deliver in limited minutes and it seemed his situation could have been avoided. Not easy to find an athletic big at this level. Appel seems to be more of what we already have.
