For everyone claiming we are better with Neo on the bench

Here are the minutes played and +/- for the game today. Lawal 31:04 minutes -17 Hansberry 37:07 -10 Bedford 33:05 -7 Hammond 40:00 -14 Neo 29:27 -4 Schutt 17:28 -17 Gurdak 9:39 +3 Dorn 2:10 -4 After seeing this, how can anyone possibly think we are a better team with Neo on the bench? He provides so many intangibles that average fans don’t see.

Interesting, surprised at Gurdak +3 and Dorn -4. They only played 12 minute

It’s just one game - a loss to a very good team - and matchups matter.

Agreed**

As ll this tells me is its a stat you can use when it tells

CMY sat Neo. He is the coach and he knows what he is
VTMONEY94 • 01/31/26 07:54 PM ET
I have no issue with Coach Young putting him on the bench
Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 10:07 PM ET
well the fans took him out the final stretch of the game
VermontDDS • 01/31/26 06:43 PM ET
it's definitely deceiving for an individual game.
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 05:38 PM ET
I agree 100% on the longer the period
Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 05:41 PM ET
I am a big Gurdak fan. I hope he sticks around at VT.. has great feet
radford Hokie • 01/31/26 05:43 PM ET
No one with a basketball IQ over room temperature does, and yet, we see

It's almost like they don't know what they're talking about**

Intangibles are hard to explain unless you have analyzed hundreds
Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 05:28 PM ET
It’s clear watching Neo he contributes ALOT! **
AnotherTechW • 01/31/26 05:29 PM ET
Did we learn yet why Gurdak sat so much?**
PhotoHokieNC • 01/31/26 05:21 PM ET
He was getting pushed around a little too much
Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 05:26 PM ET
True. Schutt has the best +/- on the team for the season, but that's
LonghornHokie • 01/31/26 05:28 PM ET
He had the worst today
Moseley Hokie • 01/31/26 05:34 PM ET
He had some terrible defensive plays today. A couple times he wasn’t
AnotherTechW • 01/31/26 05:41 PM ET
I thought he sat the entire first half.**
