NCAA Teams' Bench Impact

Bench Impact = estimated total Bench Rating per 100 possessions x %Minutes - estimated Starters' Rating per 100 possessions x %Minutes

-Wyoming/Colorado's bench impact is low because of true disparity between their starting 5 and their bench.
-Ohio State's bench is actually decent, but their starting 5 is significantly better....
-Grambling suffers immensely by not playing Quincy Roberts more -- EDIT -- this was because of the transfer rules that prevented Q-Rob from playing the first half of the season, so technically he was on their "bench" when I ranked his minutes played back in January. His presence was definitely the most notable discrepancy in minutes played and overall value because of that.
