The Virginia Cavaliers’ men’s basketball team secured its second win in two games so far on their trip to Italy earlier today. Beating Orange1 Basket Bassano 71-41 in Florence, the ‘Hoos are on a roll with a bunch of new guys impressing. For the full game story, stats, notes, and analysis check out our recap here.
A few notes from the highlights, UVA seemed to be pushing the ball in transition. Playing with a 24-second shot clock could be partially responsible for that, but it’s still exciting to see the ‘Hoos being aggressive.
Additionally, as Orange1 played a zone for part of the game, UVA seemed to find ways around it with guys like Jayden Gardner and Isaac Traudt playing in the high post and making plays from there.
