Tony Bennett

The fact that we got lit up by Marial Shayok last night makes me like Tony Bennett as a coach even less.

He had a guy for 3 years who was capable of leading the Big12 in scoring and he couldn't even average double figure scoring in Tony Bennett's offense. Seeing that can't possibly help him in recruiting.

"Are you talented enough to be an all-conference player? I'll make sure you never average more than 8 ppg." --Tony Bennett (he didn't actually say that, to my knowledge)

That’s a good point. Brogdon is better in the league, too.

Has to hurt recruiting. That guy leaving UVA which has won a ton of games for ISU. Telling.

I think those with a keen basketball eye know talent even when Bennett hides it.

"... ISU with Wiggington, Lard, and Marial Shayok, who everyone seems to be forgetting. That dude's numbers are deflated from playing at Virginia - he can ball."

I was just looking at Klay Thompson's stats at Washington St.

It's not really fair, because a lot of players make a huge improvement over one offseason, but as a freshman under bennett he averaged 12.5 ppg in 33 minutes.

And then as a So and Jr after Bennett left he averaged 19.6 and 21.6 in 35 and 35 minutes.

It’s like a high school girls game

KU averages 79.1 points per game.

UVA averages 74.6 points per game.

That was sort of surprising to me.

Last year was 81.5 us to 67.5 them. Which was more what I was expecting to see...but it's very possible they will end up closer to that high 60s average by the end of ACC play.

Their SOS is 158, ours is 3 in kenpom. Probably a yuge factor in that.

Yuck. How can a top 20 team have that bad of a SOS. Pathetic.

Virginia 10-Clemson 2 at the 10 minute mark of the first half.

And now our game is 14-2 at the 11 minute mark of the first half.

Edit: now 16-2

Which looks a lot better than 10-2 haha, but good defense!

Now 18-2 LoL! Agbaji!
