If you look at minutes played we are not using more depth in any one game than most other schools. However, different bench players play in different games--almost as if we had specialists for different opponents. But there are rarely more than 7 players in double digit minutes. There are several Pac 12 schools that routinely give 8-9 players double digit minutes, but we are not among them. But over several games you will see more of our players being used--just not all at the same time.
