They should still have come in when the game was all but over but neither of them are ready to contribute today. That may change as the seasons goes along (mainly looking at O'Connel). But, if Long is able to play, I would not expect many minute from Brady. He's just not ready. And that has been mentioned all summer long on here.

Green is edging into lost cause territory, what a shame. Curry disppeared for game, which is odd. Oliver disappeared, which happens way more than it should. They have to figure out a way to get ready for conference play without the non conference games. That was pathetic. The lack of shooting is one thing, but we have to rebound better than that and we can't turn the ball over 17 times and ever win. I know VCU is tough when the refs decide to swallow their whisles but there is no excuse of many of those turnovers by Curry and Green.

I give Curry a pass. It has been very rare that he has had a wtf game. I imagine the lack of ball handling around him doesn't help with the turnovers against a team that is getting after you like VCU does. Most of our lineups don't have anyone other than Curry that I feel is the least bit comfortable handling the ball against pressure.
