The sixth man award is a testament to a team’s depth and versatility. The “next man up” mindset is incredibly important to such a competitive league where anything from injuries to foul trouble has the capacity to make or break a game. This award has gone to players from Virginia for the past two years, indicating that the philosophy of Head Coach Tony Bennett forces everyone to be ready to contribute. With most of their roster returning, it is possible that a Cavalier could win the award yet again; however it is still important to evaluate the field.
