Yea, I shouldn't discredit the defensive performance Lydon had in the middle. He was very solid. What also allowed Lydon to push a bit more was the empty trips Virginia had when getting their big the ball in the gray area. The bigs for Virginia were very uncomfortable finishing around the rim. Credit the wings collapsing and applying pressure, but generally many of those will result in dunks or finishes. The one play that really sticks out is when the starting center for Virginia tried to reverse a lay up and brought ball down below his waist  and threw up an air ball. They lost any confidence throwing them ball down there.

It's great as a fan to see the progress this team has made. The chemistry is showing now. JB is making great adjustments in games and has made great adjustments on players minutes. Getting away from the pick and roll yesterday was huge and really opened the offense. Putting his players in positions to score points and got away from the high ball screen which Virginia was hedging on and trapping.
