These kids are 18-20 years old. Fatigue isn't, or shouldn't be a factor.
Not having AN and others is probably more impactful.

I think these games can only help this team. Couldn't care any less about a loss. I think this team will be good.

Yep and it's better to be tested, then to destroy some awful team.

Well at least we won't be over confident when we play Wichita State.

They wouldn't win the AAC. In top 4 maybe but they would not win it.

RE: When is the 2nd Carleton game?
Fatigue definitely played a role. Many of those turnovers were likely a direct result. Had to get quality minutes out of everybody every night.
I know, these are kids who play ball all the time, ought to be in better shape, etc.
Fact is, playing on the road is hard for every team. 4 games in 4 nights on the road is tough. Being in the game situation (after a few practices) is tough.
Sure, the games weren't "real" games...but all those Canadian teams and their fans seemed to take them pretty seriously.
This trip, as Pastner said, was about trying combinations and exposing weaknesses to film. It accomplished that, and I expect it'll help them a lot more than the Bahamas trip did 4 years ago.
