Coach Cindy Stein used four different lineups in 30 games last season. Through nine games this season, she has sent out five different starting combinations.
There were six Salukis to average 20 or more minutes per game last season, and nobody else averaged more than nine. Five Salukis average more than 20 minutes and three others see the floor at least 10 minutes per game.
The average bench player played eight and a half minutes per game. This season, reserves are averaging more than 10 minutes per game.
Stein said this year's depth will pay off during the season.
