St. Louis up 75-36 over Mississippi Valley State with like 2 minutes left, so kind of a comparable score to ISU's.
They won 75-39. Now the question is this: Did St. Louis start clearing their bench with 10 minutes left in the first? I'm somehow doubting they did since it was a 7 point game at halftime.
We'll wait until the box score though. We could have won every single one of our games by WAYYYY more points if we would have left the first team in there but we chose to let guys get PT and experience instead.
Okay..box score on St. Louis...they played 11 guys total. One guy played 3 minutes, another played 9. Nobody played over 29 minutes and 6 guys played 20-29 minutes. Three others played 10-19 minutes.
Against Nebraska they played 10 guys and again the same guys who were playing tonight got similar playing time against Nebraska.
A concern I have is this team hasn't been tested. I want to see how they respond when they are down by a few near the end of the game. Now, if we never see that all year, great. But we won't know the mental toughness of this team until they have a challenging situation.
I really like this team. Can't wait to see Dendy in there mixing it up.
