Indiana State’s men’s basketball team has plenty of that. So do many other college basketball programs. It’s quality of depth that matters. If someone comes off the bench and there’s an immediate dropoff, or, if they can’t lift the team if the players they replaced on the floor are struggling, what does it matter how many bodies a team has?
