2 teams were bad last night

[upperdeck]

the only difference is one team got 4-5 plays from the bigs and the other didnt.

I counted more than 4 or 5, but your point stands that there were 2 bad teams last night.

That's what's so frustrating. Virginia was hardly unbeatable last night.

IF we had Diakite or anyone remotely resembling his athleticism, motor and skill set, at any position - we win..

UVA is going to be interesting to watch this year - how fast they improve. With Bennett and their staff I think they will improve at a much faster and higher rate than SU will this year.

Agreed. SU as the improvement litmus test is probably worthless. Our teams, with a couple of final four exceptions, don't usually improve much over the course of a season. I don't think it's possible to improve much with a 6 or 7 man rotation.
