They talk about digging on Kalk to try to stop him, as any rational person would. Plus, their starting big plays barely over 20 minutes a game.

"They're getting better, but are they at the level that those three guys are? No, and we shouldn't expect them to be. But they're working and they're getting better. Josiah's done some good things in practice the last couple of weeks ago, Jasen Green has had two really good weeks and it's why he's seeing the floor a little bit more. But for the most part, we're going to ride the group we've been riding because they've been doing a good job."
It's pretty clear at this point that Mac isn't as worried about tired legs as the fans are, and he's operating with much more information. I think we'll continue to see Fred, Isaac and maybe Jasen continue to see a first-half stint, and if it doesn't go well we probably won't see them after halftime of a competitive game. If they make a play or two, we might see them again.
I asked Baylor about playing heavy minutes and dealing with in-game fatigue and included that response in my preview below.
