There is flaw in your logic. Did they get more playing time because they had improved to the point where they could play more or did they improve because they had more playing time? I would tend to think that they improved to the point where they could handle more time. I saw Nunn play against Wisconsin as a freshman. His defense was bad as they were going right past him. You cannot just let them play and expect that they will suddenly get it during the game. I believe they first have to demonstrate in practice that they can handle both the offensive and defensive schemes. Then allow them to have game time. When they fail in the game you have to cut the time back until they are competitive. It would do the team nor the player any good to look terrible in games in full view of the world. Not a way to build a winning attitude or bolster the confidence of a young freshman.

Minnesota -1...? I gotta take the away team, right?
You can bet somebody will.
We're due, and then some. UI by five.
