Pitt should play 10.

Guillermo-Kante
Corhen-Jorge
Austin-Delalic
Leggett-Cummings
Lowe-Dunn

Dunn is not fully recovered. Can see that in his handle and his being more careful with contact going to the rim.

We have enough talent that no one needs to play 37-38 minutes.

A break each half might also prevent offense degenerating into three players taking turns at dribble drive.

It might also keep us out of foul trouble and allow full effort on defense.

One additional benefit: Since we seldom vary scheme, at least it will force our opponent to vary from "their gameplan" and at least be forced to adjust to different personnel. Maybe opponents don't get as "locked in"?

The injury to Dunn against Wisconsin was huge. We were rolling until that happened. I would've stayed away from that tourney. Deck was stacked against us there with officials taking over in the 2nd half of Wisky game. JMO
