Tony Bennett has done such a nice job at Virginia that the idea of a four-game losing streak seems impossible.
But there it is: Virginia Tech. Duke. UNC. And now, Miami.
Two of them (Virginia Tech and Miami) went to overtime. The Duke game was competitive though Duke pulled away in the end. And of course UNC obliterated Virginia.
Miami was forced to play at Bennett’s preferred slow pace but still pulled the win out. In recent years, Virginia has kept the score low and no one can pull really pull ahead. And in those tight games, Virginia nearly always has a basket or two more.
