Although State got Markell Johnson back for the Virginia game, it didn’t make much difference. State had little idea of how to attack Virginia’s defense and fell behind quickly.
The Pack had some moments but Virginia was in control of the game from beginning to end.
It’s hard to do much against the Pack Line unless you attack it correctly. Tony Bennett’s defense tries to make you face three defenders at any time and force the ball as far from the basket as possible.
The two best ways to attack it are in transition, if you can manage it, and moving the ball crisply in the half-court.
