If rest is what this team needed, we got it. By the time we play on Friday it will have been 12 days since our last game. It is the longest layoff of the season. I am a firm believer that this team needed rest. It’s body language at the end of the season, especially at Wisconsin, was off. They were dialed in for months with a compressed Big Ten schedule (and we had one of the better stretches with no three-game weeks) and I believe it wore on them. Last week the team got away from basketball, and that is a good thing.
