I've wondered. Why not put in all the scrubs who haven't played a minute? They should be fresher and quicker.

Are the worn out players in the normal rotation really that much better than the scrubs?

I think they did in one case. A walk on got his first rebound of the season.

I think Syracuse had no choice because they already have had 4 players foul out.

And Syracuse wins! So with Connecticut and Pittsburgh having been knocked out of the tournament, Louisville's chance for a #1 seed have increased (assuming they can get past Villanova).

I gave up after 3 OTs

Husband1111 turned it off in the 6th OT when it was Syracuse by 10 or something with 1 minute to go. Or what ever it was.

Lot of bleary eyed people here today.

i fell asleep during the last OT

jury duty tired me out

i think its good for pitt that they can rest their injured players

i remember brandin knight getting hurt in the tourney in 03ish, and it slowed him a great deal in the ncaas.

their #1 seed is in the bag anywho

If they can't make college hoops any better than this--I'm switching to curling.
