Yeah unless your fighting to get in the NCAA tournament, hard to get worked up about not winning it. I mean you absolutely play to win but no reason to over extend players or get them hurt. Look at Arkansas in '21. They lost their #1 SP to injury there and their 1B, and may have cost them the National Championship.
