Probably. I don't know why you and others keep getting hung up on this. Nobody played more than 25 last game so 35 is another exaggeration. And if you're worried about injuries, I guess they should just not play, practice or walk up the Hilton stairs either.

They don't have a game for over a week and they'll be needed for a full game so they likely need to play like it. Before someone says they can just run in practice, game conditioning is a completely different thing than just running at practice.

Not to mention imo ISU hasn't really played all that well the last few games and I'd guess they have some things to work on for consistency/maintaining intensity.

I've got two FREE tickets for the game I can't use. DM me and I'll get them to you. Hopefully, someone can go cheer them on in my place.

Probably works best if you leave phone # too.

What games haven't we played well? It was an exaggeration of course, I'd just like to see the backups get some extended minutes at least once a year.

I don't think ISU has looked very sharp in their last two-three games.

Iowa was playing in beer muscles mode but there was still just some weird turnovers from forcing it (although not a high amount so maybe they just seem to be magnified) etc.

I don’t think a single starter has played 35 or more minutes in a game all season. 25-30 is avg for the 3 guards and JJ. Milan’s minutes fluctuate based on matchup and general hotness.

If by ‘starters’ you mean the core 8 man rotation… I expect them to play a bunch. Probably until the last under 4:00 timeout, but also Nojus and Watson to get run with the core group.

This. Starting hasn’t mattered since 8th grade and even then only matters to the eighth graders grandparents and girlfriend.

Minutes played is what matters. CuJo is second on the team in minutes played. That matters. Not starting.
