Certainly not. This team is as prone to lapses in performance as any other. What I mean to say is, at their best, they are a well-synchronized group of two-way players who share the ball on offense and cover each other's bases on defense. Certainly it won't be easy to execute an efficient offense against Syracuse - nobody does, really - but lacking a premier scorer like Fair or Parker, they will have to play unselfishly to even have a chance to win. Similarly, without any truly elite defensive stoppers, they have to know how to help each other to succeed on that end as well. Cuse fans may also be interested to know that, like the Orange, UVA also has a freshman point guard who has been a major key to our success this season. London Perrantes isn't quite the athlete that Ennis is, nor is he as prolific a scorer as Ennis can be, but he is an adept passer with a high basketball IQ and court vision for a freshman. Most importantly, he takes great care of the ball, leading the ACC in AST:TO ratio and having gone 7 of the last 8 games without committing a turnover. He will be a player to watch for us, and his ability to continue playing turnover-free basketball will be critical for our team's chances of winning.
