Hopefully I didn’t butcher that too bad.

Seriously though, this is a different UVa team from the last few years, that is evolving, but has some pretty high upside.

The good:
1. Much better defensive group.  Beekman & Dunn are elite.  Dunn might be the most physically gifted defender we’ve had in the TB era, and might be playing himself into the lottery despite not being a dominant scorer.  This group is much more aggressive in the passing lanes with steals than what you’ve seen previously.

2. Multiple shooters.  We’ve struggled some from 3 since the championship season, but McKneely, Groves & Rohde are capable of getting hot.  Beekman & Dunn aren’t great shooters, but you can’t leave them open either.

The not so good:
1. We’ve gotten our butt kicked on the offensive glass.  Pretty much against every P6 school we’ve played.

2. Weak interior.  Blake Buchanan is a freshman, and will be very good.  He went toe-to-toe with Florida’s bigs, but hasn’t been stellar against other decent competition.  He’s a work in progress, but we don’t have much interior depth.  Groves is more 3 than 5, and we have a transfer (Minor) who unfortunately has made no impact so far.

Should be a good matchup tomorrow.  Interested to see Cuse without JB for the first time in my life.
