We go 10 deep, and if Lowell wasn't hurt 11 deep; If Baxter wasn't hurt, who knows.
I don't see any other team in the country giving meaningful minutes to this many players. To be sure, it produces some moments of frustrating and not very pretty basketball, but it's hard to argue with the success.
Last year's "pretty team" lost to Utah, San Diego St, St Mary's and San Francisco. This year's team has not (so far).
Unfortunately both teams lost to Boise St, so all is not perfect...But I think we beat Boise St if we played again. And maybe even USC
