I have to go back and watch but I remember the game being something like 16-11 Virginia in the 4th when Maryland scored 4 or 5 times in the span of a few minutes, looking like they were shot out of a cannon (relative to the Hoos). Maybe they huffed some smelling salts during a TV timeout.

No....I'm saying that in my opinion, you're projecting. If your attack can't dodge in the fourth quarter "because they played a game two days ago", you're never going to win a Championship again. My opinion. And yep, sometimes your team is going to have a tough semi...and your opponent is going to be in a blowout. My opinion is that you'll be fine, but apparently, this is just me.
Injuries are different. For that? More time passed is always good. You're right. And that's a fair point.
I thought you said UNC played on Saturday, too. No?
I've said since the beginning that "running out of gas," so to speak, encompasses a lot more than just the apparently debatable notion that your legs can start to tire earlier than your opponent's.
I'm just telling you what my eyes saw. We looked slow in the second half on both ends of the field. The defense, of course, yes, they were playing a ton of D, and that tires you out. But it looked to me like both physical and mental exhaustion was setting in for pretty much everyone wearing white, including things like experienced players who know better making uncharacteristic mistakes (e.g. failing to back up a shot). Reasonable minds can disagree as to the extent at which the differing timelines/intensity of previous games factored into that.
I expect this from OC who has made a habit out of peddling conspiracy theories about me because I challenge his narrative on certain things and he doesn't like that, but I thought better of you. This is weak.
