And the guys who might not see another minute of time kept playing their best. Have you ever been a backup on a team? I was way down the bench in H.S., and when I got sent in during garbage time, I played my guts out hoping to move up a little bit in the rotation.

Having said that, you could see a case where people just try to dribble out every possession, and I guess that's fine, but the size of the school you're playing is irrelevant. Butler, Providence, and Xavier in the Big East have what, four or five thousand students each, but they're in the Big East and are often ranked. Butler has 4,400 students and has played twice for the national championship.
