The Eagles headed down to Charlottesville Tuesday evening to take on a mid-tier opponent in the UVA Cavaliers and to try to build a little momentum after their home win against Pitt. This was the 5th game for the Eagles in the past ten days so it was no doubt that Grant would have needed to leverage his bench as tanks would assumed to be running dry.
The first half, however, did not exactly exemplify any bit of lethargy coming from the Eagles out of the gate. Nonetheless, it was the illusion of Tony Bennett’s classic slow-pace and defense heavy style of play that made it seem as though the game was being played in slow motion.
