GT game is the latest example. Maddox and Pedulla were in the game when it was definitely contested, they played the middle section of the 2nd half- not coincidentally, when VT built up the double digit lead that ultimately enabled us to survive GT's late comeback (when the usual 5 starters were back in the game).

What many of us fail to understand is why the bench players come in, give the team a spark, then gather splinters at crunch time. Often, while watching the starters look really bad in the last few minutes. There are numerous examples of this- pick almost any one of our ACC losses.
