… the media timeouts (and I think the called timeouts) are each a bit longer and halftime is often extended to 20 minutes instead of the normal 15.

I think I remember Bill self talking about this prior to the NCAA tourney a year or two ago when he was trying to manage a shallow rotation (due to injuries) during the Tournament…

Maybe the combined “elevation” and “fresh bodies” advantages taken together for BYU will provide an advantage still, but maybe not as much as we are hoping for.

Still surprised the line is so small at around BYU -3, but this factor may be part of the reason why…
