Turns out there was one other stat Sean Miller didn't feel good about after the Wildcats lost at ASU on Friday.

That would be 10, the number of minutes all five starters played during the two overtime periods.

Miller didn't sub at all during either the first or second overtime period and said he found his team physically affected as a result. He offered his thoughts during his weekly news conference today at McKale:

"We don't have a crystal ball that you’re going to go to double overtime," Miller said. But "it's difficult to start playing players in an overtime period when they have been sitting there for 45 minutes to an hour of real time. It’s not fair to ask them to come into that situation.

"But I think early on in games throughout the first half, playing our bench is key because once you decide not to play it you have players playing not to make mistakes --`I don’t want to foul' -- so all of a sudden your effort level isn’t as high. Transition opportunities aren’t as plentiful and one reason is guys aren’t quite as fresh as they were.
