It would be interesting to see what Bennett could do at another school whose ‘culture’ an recruiting limitations was polar opposite of Mr. Jefferson’s school…
He was fine at Washington State.
Not sure if he’ll leave UVa anytime soon, but Bennett did take a pretty moribund Wash St. program to the top of the Pac-12 in a few years.
That said, hats off to Duke – excellent execution and shot making down the stretch. Wow.
But credit Duke. They f-ing stepped up and took it away. This is what I mean by them being the ultimate “high variance” team. When they get it going, they are better than anybody not named “Kentucky.”
More of Duke hitting killer shots than a choke. Duke is near impossible to beat when they hit those. Great game. Two good teams.
He was fine at Washington State.
I was thinking something more “urban” and “diverse” in nature… not pastoral like Charlottesville which is stuck somewhere in the middle of the 1980’s…
#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!And UVA simply isn’t good enough to keep up with a top team playing at their best. Which is why if/when they catch such a team in the second weekend of the NCAAT, they’ll go home.
The Hoos are quite good and damned consistent, but they have a defined ceiling that makes winning a 6-round tournament quite difficult.
There is a type of kid Bennett wants, and a type he doesn’t. You gotta be all in to get PT for him. Don’t let his nice guy persona fool you. Very demanding.
It was some of both, UVA opened the door by getting tight. Duke only needed a crack of light playing like that, though.

Jay Williams on E$pin radio this morning… said he went to the ‘Hoos practice yesterday…
He said ‘practice’ was as emotionally intense, complete with trash talking, and as physical as the live games… Williams also said directly to your point… When recruiting, Bennett’s only question to his recruits was something to the effect of … ‘Are you a fighter and will you fight for somebody else?’
If the kids GOTT that… I’m sure Coach thinks… I can teach you the rest…
… and if not… the kid will be happier playing elsewhere…To which, I might add… What you see is what you GOTT…
All TEAMs are most always a mirror image of the Coach…

Speaking of fighting for something… where’s YKWYA ?
I’ve been waiting here two hours or more for him to say something stupid.#NCSU-North Carolina's #1 FOOTBALL school!Beej95, in all fairness it’s tough for anyone to win six straight. Gotta have a little luck. With Bennett’s defense his team should be in EVERY game. Duke is the only team to shoot over 50% against them for the game.
Fay Observer – now we know why Turner struggled shooting yesterday:
“N.C. State, which uses a Wilson ball, practiced late this week with Nike basketballs because those will be available Saturday at Georgia Tech.”
Also, this is funny :
Miami blows a big lead @ FSU and loses by 1. They drop right back down to the rest of the pack (no pun intended).
We must be contagious after teams play us.
