It’s not as if the famed Dick Bennett (now his son Tony Bennett), Virginia Pack Line defense hasn’t caused problems for teams over the years. Even this year, with the ‘Hoos not quite up to the very lofty standards they have set in recent seasons, they are still in the top 10 in the country in opponents points per game (#1), opponent average scoring margin (#10), defensive efficiency (#4), opponent floor field goal percentage (#2), points allowed in the first half (#1), points allowed in the second half (#2)...ok, you get the idea, it’s hard to score.
There was reason to believe though that at home, BC could make a game of this.
