Our minutes only become a concern if we have an injury. As of now, it's fine.
Want to feel better about it, check the box scores of other games around the league. And you will see a lot of similar situations.
I looked at #13 Wisconsin's last four games, they had 6 players for 43 minutes off the bench vs NU, 7 players for 50 minutes against PSU, 4 players for 41 minutes off the bench vs. Hoosiers, and 5 players for 41 minutes off the bench vs. Minny.
I looked at #2 Purdue's last four games, they had 9 players for 78 minutes off the bench vs PSU, 7 players for 52 minutes against Hoosiers, 4 players for 48 minutes off the bench vs. Iowa, and 9 players for 75 minutes off the bench vs. Mich.
Not to be too B1G,
I looked at #1 UConn's last four games, they had 3 players for 43 minutes off the bench vs Xavier, 4 players for 46 minutes against the Hoyas, 7 players for 45 minutes off the bench vs. Creighton, and 4 players for 54 minutes off the bench vs. Villanova.
I looked at #4 Houston's last four games, they had 4 players for 51 minutes off the bench vs TCU, 6 players for 58 minutes against the Red Raiders, 6 players for 74 minutes off the bench vs. UCF, and 4 players for 43 minutes off the bench vs. BYU.
Our Cats had 5 players for 69 minutes vs Wisconsin, which is solid even when you realize that Hunger started and only played 7 minutes vs. 23 from Matt off the bench.
We had 3 players for 48 minutes vs. Maryland , although again that was 8 minutes of Hunger at starter and 31 from Matt off the bench. so 48 really seems like 25.
We had 3 players for 46 minutes vs. Nebraska, again with Matt coming off the bench for 27 of those.
And then 3 players for 31 minutes last night, with the bulk of that being Martinelli at 20 minutes.
-----
Now, some of that is easily attributed to the other teams I listed (especially UConn) playing scrubs the last four games and I skipped the Tar Heels because, good grief easy schedule and so many bench players filling out the blowout minutes. But I'm not going to deep dive the league for the overall deets.
I believe in the team and their conditioning is excellent. I'm just concerned our lack of depth on the bench might costs us a few games in February that we should win going away.
I'll be thrilled to be completely wrong.
