On Gonzaga's Postseason Guard Fatgiue

With the NCAA Tournament fast approaching, this Gonzaga fan has recognized a trend. For the past several years, our guards haven't performed in the tournament as well as they have in the regular season. Most glaring is the depsarity in shooting percentages. Here's a breakdown of what I have wasted my morning researching:

Career:

Player	Games	FG%	3-PT FG%	PPG/APG
Blake Stepp	126	41.7	38.1	13.0/5.1
Dan Dickau (with Gonzaga)	56	45.8	46.5	20.1/5.3
Matt Santangelo	131	40.4	38.8	13.8/5.1

Postseason:

Player	Games	FG%	3-PT FG%	PPG
Blake Stepp	8	24.5	16.4	10.6/5.1
Dan Dickau	4	38.2	42.9	23.5/3.8
Matt Santangelo	7	35.9	41.0	14.3/5.6

Possible causes:

• Gonzaga's players have a tough time gearing up for competition again after the lax WCC conference schedule.
  
• Gonzaga relies on too few players to shoulder the scoring load, creating fatigue at the end of the season.
  

In my mind, these are the two main factors. But everyone has their opinion, please post yours (as long it does not involve the word "choke").
