[QUOTE="alaskaillini, post: 1915956, member: 531679"] It may be different but I think the "everyday guys" approach resulted in some very beat up / exhausted teams going into the tourney. BU has been successful in competing in the B1G because he did get his guys to put out effort every game (not so much last year), but I think there is a price his teams and B1G teams in general pay for beating each other up all season long - i.e. against Houston we had Frazier with a bad shoulder and pink eye, Grandison banged up, etc. The year before we had Ayo in a mask and had played a brutal B1G tourney a week before getting handled by Loyola. It is a lot easier physically and mentally to get to the tourney still fresh if you are Gonzaga. [/QUOTE]
