The fact of the matter is clear: Tony Bennett has built a high standard for the UVA men’s basketball program that UVA simply did not meet that last season. Many will point to the lack of offense, and shooting in particular, as the main issue. It’s quite easy to jump to that conclusion, if you look at the Virginia Cavaliers’ anemic final scores or the fact that they were 12th in the ACC with 32.3% three-point percentage.
However, poor perimeter shooting was not the primary reason Virginia missed the tournament last year. Bennett has produced poor offensive teams that have made noise.
