    The point is every top team schedules cup cakes before conference play starts. Iowa State was an example. You are the one who wrote, So why is he scheduling Grambling State in the first place if he cares so much? There are plenty of power 5 teams like us to beat up on by 20'ish. If you are...

    Virginia

    Anyone who accuses Bennett of piling on in a game knows nothing of him. And while Tony Bennett and Dick Bennett share a similar approach on the court, they are very different off the court. Dick was consumed by basketball to the point he had to get out for his own health; to this day, he has a...

    Virginia

    I know you don't follow Virginia so let me fill you in about both the game against Grambling State and head coach Tony Bennett. None of our starters logged more than 17 minutes in the game. Three walk-ons (non-scholarship players) received double digit minutes each. The ninth player in our...

    Congratulations Hawkeyes - a well-sdeserved win

    If Virginia is going to lose I prefer it be by a clear margin so I don't spend the off-season lamenting one missed shot, misguided pass or blown call. The last 10 minutes your team did an effective job breaking down our defense and you had several players step up big. I wish you all the best...

    The other way around. I'm a New Yorker who went to UVA, then later married a Canadian and moved a couple of hours from Toronto.

    A UVA primer from a UVA fan

    Thanks. One other point I neglected to mention. Against teams that run, UVA will only send one player to the offensive boards and drop 4 back. It has meant few offensive boards but also few fast break chances for other teams.

    Greetings all! As a UVA alum and fan I am looking forward to a good matchup with your Hawkeyes on Wednesday and thought I would give you a deeper understanding of UVA's team, its strengths and weaknesess. Strengths: (1) Defence. Tony Bennett uses what he calls a packline defence in which four...
