UVA’s defense compared to Duke’s

[acc hoops]

Mismatches caused by switching really hurt Duke last night.Javin trying to guard White led to 8 straight points in the second half. Doesn’t UVA fight through most screens? If Duke plays UNC again maybe it is time to for some adjustment.

We were 2-0 vs uva so whatever we did worked

Not having Zion really messes with our switches..guys are out of position and out of rotation. This team can play defense with Zion on the floor is what is somewhat encouraging. Question really is now how long Bolden is out? He’s a formidable rim protector with Zion and moves his feet pretty well for a big guy on the perimeter. Our steals are down and so are our run outs from defensive rebounds but that’s a bigger indicator of Zion being out..I’m not concerned if Bolden can get back by the second week d of the NCAA tournament..this team is way to athletic for most first weekend teams..and that’s some additional rest and recovery and...conditioning for Zion..his conditioning is my biggest question mark going into the ACC tournament and Bolden probably being out will not help..Losing sucked bad last night, and UNC has been rolling us lately..but I’m pretty encouraged overall assuming Zion makes a return.

It did work versus the deliberate UVA offense. Not so much versus UNC who shot 50 percent and 40 percent averaging 83.5 pts versus Duke. At UNC , Virginia held UNC to 61 points and 30percent FG %. I would say UVA ‘s defense was better versus UNC.

I’m not as worried about Virginia’s defense. It’s their offense that concerns me. They have the most balanced offense out there.
Kind of hope they have at least 2 players decide to go pro early.

The Huff kid has huge potential.

Our defense is a lot worse without Zion. We generally switch all screens except occasionally the 1-5. Bolden defends that screen much better than Javin and several times Tre fought through it but Javin switched anyway. That also led to some of their layups in the first half when Javin’s man was left open because he switched and Tre didn’t.

Being the great basketball mind that you are, you sure struggle with grammar. Bless your heart.

UVA is going to be an incredibly tough team to beat 3 times in a row fellas.

Bringing Diakite off the bench makes them a stronger team.
If Duke can play as well as they did when they scored 81 pts on UVA no team will beat them.

Guess I don’t know grammar. Drawing, math and physics are my strengths. Oh well. If you think I’m a great basketball mind you should see me break down football. It’s very impressive.
