once we get to having some lower seeded teams play 2-3-4 or more days in a row and face teams that had byes.
You will often hear people talk about a team having heavy legs or being emotionally worn down.
I think this info is prob factored into the line, but more because the linesmakers knows that this is a big "public" theory/misconception. So they might shade a line knowing that the public is over thinking the tired legs of 20 year olds that play 6 hrs a day and somtimes more in the summer.
good example
2 years ago in the big east tourney
syracuse won its first game against Marquette, turned around played a 6 OT game. thats 70 mins of ball and won against Uconn and then won by 5 in OT the next day against WVU.
take the tired legs theory with a grain salt, when thinking over the Uconn vs Pitt game
