On Tuesday night, Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball took to the road and headed an hour northeast to play a road game against James Madison. As you might expect, the Dukes sold out the 8,500 seat Atlantic Union Bank Center for the game, as it was the first time that the Cavaliers had made the trip to Harrisonburg since 2014.
Of course, this leads to the obvious question for Virginia head coach Tony Bennett: Why are you doing this?
The answer? Well, Marquette Golden Eagles and Wisconsin Badgers didn’t come to play the Phoenix in Green Bay when I was a student there playing for my dad, so I feel it’s only right for me to do the other thing going forward.
