It seems like this team's greatest difficulty right now is consistency: what works one game doesn't seem to carry over to the next, or even from half to half. I wish i could say it didn't seem effort related.
Patient offensive teams seem to have lots of success vs us this year, almost like we just get bored with playing defense after about 25 seconds. Our guards have not had much success forcing turns or just speeding the other team up, so if we allow UVa to shoot well from the floor, it could be a long, low-scoring game. That would bode well for UVa.
