Here’s a column from our pals over at StreakingTheLawn.com about Virginia’s upcoming basketball season and what to expect.
Yes, Virginia only has one starter back, but at this point, what matters most is that Tony Bennett is back. And that’s a big deal.
Like Dean Smith and Mike Krzyzewski, Bennett may see talent dips from season to season but that guy has emerged as a brilliant coach. You can hate his offense all you want, but it works and the defense can reduce opponents to tears. And in his system, as long as you can defend and keep the other team from getting too far ahead, you’ll be at an advantage at the end.
