I really think his calm steady hand approach hurt his team in this instance. The team was also shell shocked and it may have helped to get everybody riled in that situation. I agree that Bennett is a very good coach and that Virginia had a great team, but Miller hit the nail on the head in his analysis during the game. We turned the game into an up and down athletic event. Virginia likes to play very structured, control the game and pick your spots type of bball. We dictated to them when and where they had to try to score and it changed everything. The best was when we got the lead went back to the zone and suddenly UVA looked lost against it. I think it gives us a bit of a blueprint moving forward against Bennett and UVA. Still that was a never happens everything has to go your way comeback where all the major damage was in about a 4 minute spurt.

That said this year I can understand them being ranked ahead of us. I don't have to agree but its understandable. I think we have the players and depth to be better than anyone in the ACC this year. I'm not as high on UVA, UNC, Lville as most of the national press seem to be but they are all undoubtedly going to be very good squads. Duke's freshman are already getting banged up and they haven't even played an exhibition yet. When was the last time Giles played a full season of bball at any level? They do have 4 returning players that we know can play ACC ball though.
