[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 393605, member: 2299"] First off there's a reason UVA is the #2 team in the nation. They're really good and there's no real shame in losing to them. Thought we played well overall and showed that defensively we can hang, but we aren't there yet on offense. And that makes sense considering we have a freshman PG playing 40 minutes, and very little depth. We were handily beat by a team much better than us. It was a 10 point game with 8 minutes left and we had a chance, but we have less depth and less experience, and UVA was able to use their advantages in both to push the game out of reach, which is what you expect looking at the two teams. One thing Ben needs to learn is to view his fouls as a resource. You don't want to foul, and with how much we need for him we can't risk him fouling out, but he had no fouls last night. Sometimes it's worth a foul and two FTs to send a message that other teams shouldn't come into the paint. Not just because of the threat of a block but because of the threat of getting your *** put on the floor. Despite the early blocks UVA wasn't afraid of attacking him and a hard foul or two would have given them something else to think about. And again. We absolutely need to develop some interior depth both for the rest of this year and next. The decision to just refuse to get experience for our young bigs is going to bite us big time down the stretch and next year. [/QUOTE]
