Interior Strength Lifts Hoos in Latest Win
In its next game, the University of Virginia men’s basketball team will face an opponent whose roster includes 7-foot-1 Hunter Dickinson, 6-foot-8 Jett Howard, 6-foot-7 Terrance Williams II and 6-foot-10 Tarris Reed Jr.
“They’re big,” UVA head coach Tony Bennett said of the Michigan Wolverines.
That wasn’t the case with Virginia’s opponent Friday night at John Paul Jones Arena. The University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s tallest starter is 6-foot-5 Nathaniel Pollard Jr., and the fifth-ranked Cavaliers, not surprisingly, dominated inside in a 72-45 victory.
In the first 38 minutes, the Wahoos (5-0) hit only two 3-pointers, and they finished 5 for 15 from beyond the arc. It didn’t matter against the overmatched Hawks (2-4).
