Rest and performance.

[SuperSK]

All the Big Ten teams that I watched lose in their first games have a common thread. No team got to loose balls, could take guys off the dribble or move laterally on D. As a group of teams, the Big Ten played like they were dead on their collective feet. Going back and looking at the games that I taped, it was sad to watch our teams compete. After a grinding regular season, teams had to play a tough Big Ten tourney and then ready for the NCAA tourney. Most conferences finished their tourneys a week earlier than the Big Ten. That rest, I believe, was a big reason the conference played like crap overall. We had too good of a conference to play that poorly. Next time, give our teams the same rest as their NCAA foes. 😎❤🏀
