In response to palestra38
Penn was 6-for-16 from three aside from Caleb Wood's 0-for-8. Caleb only played 23 mins in the Tuesday and Saturday game. Betley went 4-for-10 but hit three of those four in the final 10 mins on the most tired legs he would have had all weekend and missed both of his first half attempts when he was more fresh.
Penn did miss a ton of open looks (and oddly seemed to hit some of the tougher looks it got). I suspect that was more of a random poor performance than legs.
Frankly, the bigger issue with 5 games in 9 days isn't legs, but the extra game prep that's thrown in there. Big disadvantage not to get to prep for your weekend games until Wednesday, especially for a strong basketball mind like StevieD. If anything, that's more of a reason why I'd expect the rematch to be different (aside from the HCA flip).
