Up 20 for most of the 2nd half, bench only played 45 total minutes

Not really acceptable IMO, especially when Maddox was clearly more effective than Alleyne yet again and DNG would've likely had a double double with a couple more minutes on the court.

Hunter played 38 minutes, Mutts played 33, Storm played 32. Our bench played 22% of total minutes last night which over a whole season would rank close to last out of the 356 teams in division 1 (they played 37% against FSU). Having a short bench is fine in the NCAAT, but we just played 5 games in like 12 days and we're in territory where we have to win out.

Would like to see us rotate more when up big like that, since we're destined to have a late game heart attack every time out might as well let them play before then.

Up 20 for most of the 2nd half, bench only played 45 total minutes -- soflahokie 02/03/2022 09:40AM

Did you not watch what happened when he took most of the starters out? ** -- HOKIE75-79 02/03/2022 11:03AM

Alleyne Maddox a wash tonight -- lchoro 02/03/2022 10:17AM

What 2-3 players did FSU have out? Were they starters? ** -- YBYSAIAHokie 02/03/2022 2:14PM

It was in the news and on on this board -- lchoro 02/03/2022 2:18PM

Yes, but in late games, upside favors Maddox IMO -- Vienna_Hokie 02/03/2022 11:41AM

He had more assists and steals tonight. Both prone to errors. -- lchoro 02/03/2022 11:46AM

Bring in Alleyne at end of half to get final shot.. promptly turns it over -- hokietom87 02/03/2022 11:10AM

He ended both halves with a TO right? -- ShockWaveVT 02/03/2022 11:51PM

Yep. That combo was definitely not a 'wash' tonight. -- Gobbler Guru 02/03/2022 11:40AM

CMY put in… -- VPI63 02/03/2022 10:15AM

Hell, I guess not 😵‍💫 ** -- VPI63 02/03/2022 3:24PM

I'd agree with you point if Storm wasn't the 2nd leading scorer -- hoosnowahokie 02/03/2022 09:59AM

It seems like everyone just focuses on offense when discussing the bench -- HokieAl 02/03/2022 10:46AM

This is the answer. Watch the bench guys play d. -- GreenvilleVT 02/03/2022 10:56AM

If you actually watch some of our starters play D... -- Gobbler Guru 02/03/2022 11:37AM

Are you sure that isn't all predicted on what an individual does vs what -- VTCALS72 02/03/2022 2:55PM

Our stats show that when our starters are out of the game -- GreenvilleVT 02/03/2022 2:14PM

Right, but when does defensive production outweight offensive? -- hoosnowahokie 02/03/2022 10:56AM

Good/great defense makes for more offensive opportunities. -- RJHokie 02/03/2022 11:08AM

It’s not just when discussing the bench. -- VTBB 02/03/2022 10:55AM

Here were Murphy's stats in the final 8 mins of the game: -- King of Hokies 02/03/2022 10:17AM

I think it's a good question to ask, just like Maddux not playing -- hoosnowahokie 02/03/2022 11:04AM

Pedulla had 2 quick and bad TOs, but Maddox should've played more -- soflahokie 02/03/2022 10:02AM

Yes he did, but he seems to play under a different standard than Storm. -- Gobbler Guru 02/03/2022 11:44AM

Why were Pedulla's turnovers bad but Murphy's turnovers weren't bad? ** -- King of Hokies 02/03/2022 10:18AM

I mean, they occured within a minute of eachother early in a possession -- soflahokie 02/03/2022 10:19AM

PBP has Pedulla with only a single TO in the second half. And we were up 22 -- King of Hokies 02/03/2022 10:24AM

The entire team went into prevent mode per usual, when we try to run clock -- soflahokie 02/03/2022 10:32AM

This! We went into lazy stall offense. Just holding ball out passing -- vtox1 02/03/2022 9:51PM

Bingo (insert Cousin Eddie gif) ** -- hoosnowahokie 02/03/2022 10:06AM

Up 20 for most of the 2nd half, bench only played 45 total minutes
