Troubles brewing at UVA?


Marial Shayok who started every game is leaving the program. Earlier today Jared Reuter decided to transfer as well. They already lost Austin Nichols who was dismissed from the team( although I was reading the Memphis message board and some believe Nichols will play for UVA this season)

They are losing their PG to graduation and only have 1 incoming commit

Oh, and if you wanted to know why I was on memphis board. Who knows whats going on with them. Will Tubby Smith be back? The Lawson brothers dad wasnt renewed so are the lawsons leaving? KJ hasnt been to any meetings. They have lost 2 to transfer already and there is word another might be a grad transfer

Virginia might score 45 PPG next year.

Nichols is entering the NBA draft and signed an agent.

Looks like Illinois is getting a taste of AAC defense - UCF held them to 19 in the first half - UCF leading 46-28 with 15 min left

Not sure how they judge tempo, but you'd think we could improve 100 spots by simply jogging instead of walking the ball as slow as possible up the court.

It's by # of possessions per game.

UC had about 63 possessions per game. Yes, we take a long time per possession (average length of each offensive possession is around 18.7 seconds), but by playing such great defense we don't let teams get shots up quick. Our average defensive possession length is 18.1 seconds.

I can buy the defense angle to an extent. But our offense does take longer to shoot than our Top 10 defense holds opponents from shooting. We do shoot a better % than our opponents, so that's good. But I just can't help but think a slight bump would help us grab a few more easy looks.

It seems like something as simple as getting in to the offense earlier would solve a lot of issues. If you are starting the play with 25 seconds on the clock, opposed to 15 seconds, you have more time to get a good shot. I know this topic has been beat to death but it does seem like something we could easily do to help the offense

Something to consider is that UC almost always played with a significant lead at the end of games. So in the last 5-8 minutes, the offense was purposefully taking longer.
 
Part of the reason for UC's low tempo average, is that a normal UC possesion takes about 8 seconds to get into frontcourt when the ball is slow-walked up the court. I suspect that will increase with Broome running the show next year.

Yeah, gonna be a lot different. It's like getting rid of your pocket passer and getting a dual threat quarter back.
