Great for regular season but their offense is not good. By the time tournament starts, teams that make it there will be efficient in offense and virigina looks like a team that would get upset by lower seeds within the 1st 3 rounds.

Agreed but gotta think Virginia's offense will do nothing but get better as the season progresses also..

That’s what everyone said last year too. Granted, I don’t think they are gonna win it all again, but just because they had that one upset loss everyone thinks they will choke early. Bennett is the best coach in the business, in my eyes. Wouldn’t take anyone else over him. If he had Kentucky or Duke recruits then it would be lights out.

Giving up 30% FG , 42 pts a game..
Can it last and is it enough to carry them throughout?
It's crazy good, albeit against average/mediocre competition..
Their offense isn't that good but damn...
Does it have to be?
Thoughts anyone?

They are going to have serious issues in the ACC this season. They have no real scorers and wont have the height advantages they have enjoyed against these weaker opponents. They arent, and are never going to be, an offensive team but they arent going to be holding ACC foes to 40 points.

First off, Virginia has had solid players the last few years they could go to for a bucket. Second Bennett is never going to get the recruits anyone else gets because let's face it 99% of recruits arent interested in playing keep away.
