This G oriented running team would devour VT's last two editions! But not

2025-26 team. VT will have depth at PG and enough ballhandlers to break press make teams pay for pressing. VT will be low TO team and strongest in a long while on boards. Without forcing TOs or big RB delta it is hard for a running team to win versus a solid defensive team. My question is which team Uva or VT will have a better half court offense? I'd bet on MY everyday of the week and Sundays to win this! Uva will not be the defensive challenge they were under Bennett playing the havoc style! If they can rattle a team, the PG, they will make some big runs turning D into offense. However, forced to defend against good shooting half court Offense and forced to get all their offense from half court offense us likely to mean loss or very close lucky to win game for uva. The one thing MY will need to do, which he now has the material talent to do is make teams pay for pressing by scoring in breaking the press. Weakness of his recent squads has been even if VT didn't turn it over against press, they ate up too much time getting across half court leaving not enough time to run half court offense. Thereby resulting bad shots. This should be much less of an issue with more scoring options and multiple Guys who can drive it and finish.

ALL just speculation at this time. UVA was preseason #2 in baseball**

Who scores when the shots don't fall for any team?

Just make sure you stick around through the season.

The EuroLeague is not a step below the ACC...

To be honest I haven’t spent much time studying UVa’s new roster.

Great questions
wahoo2023 06/10/25 02:00 PM ET

You are correct. Avdalas isn’t a prime option until he proves it.
