[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 549632, member: 2784"] Several trends I don't like for tonight - and why I wouldn't put money on this line for GT. Away game for a team that is likely looking for the end of the season. CJP talked about lack of energy at Miami. Do that again and it will get ugly. UVA is very well coached with high IQ players. I expect Bennet will have watched the Miami film and has the same combination of banking Banks to keep him stationary, getting the ball to the middle, and placing shooters in the corners. Those guys are deadly shooters. To beat a pack line defense you have to make 3 point shots. You are not going to drive consistently (and we aren't that good at it anyway) and I don't think Banks or AD are going to hurt them enough on the block to force them to really double hard. You can drive, kick and rotate the ball to open back side shooters as they tend to be in aggressive help position but our shooting woes don't hold out a lot of hope for that. Alternatively, you can go all out to beat them downcourt (ala UNC approach) but I haven't seen us do that either. I don't see a matchup that I like in this game. Since I plan to watch, guess I am in the addiction program as well. :( [/QUOTE]
