The Athletic: What’s next for Virginia? Tony Bennett’s plan after tournament upset, transfers

This paywalled but worth a read if you can access it.
What’s next for Virginia? Tony Bennett’s plan after tournament upset, transfers
Here’s the take-home at the end.

That is one of many ways in which the new world order will challenge this perennially old-school program. There is a stubbornness here, an unwillingness to to be moved, that is either admirable or foolhardy or both. Virginia will flex tactically; Bennett has experimented with different offensive systems several times in the last decade, including when Virginia won its national title, and he played a radical five-out system with Huff, Hauser and Murphy in the frontcourt in 2021. It will get marginally more money into the NIL pot. But the foundational strategic vision, the core values, are not subject to alteration.​
If that means losing a talented redshirt from a gutted roster before the kid ever plays a minute for his team, well, so be it. Fellow coaches admire this devotion; they also attempt to use it to their advantage.​

What’s left in ‘22-‘23

With Men’s Lacrosse done and Rowing finishing 10th we’re approaching the finish line for this year.
Men’s Golf wraps up tomorrow with UVA in 10th place and first year Ben James in 8th overall, seven shots back.
Men’s Track is sending Ethan Dabbs (Javelin), Nate Mountain (3000 SC), Derek Johnson (3000 SC), Conor Murphy (800 meters), and Owayne Owens (Triple Jump) to the Championships.
The Women are sending Sophie Atkinson (10,000 meters), Ashley Anumba (discuss), Alix Still (heptathlon), and Margot Appleton (1500 meters).
And Baseball will be hosting a regional. Details on the field will be released tomorrow.
I think that’s all that’s left for this year.

PODCAST: THE LOCKDOWN featuring former Cavalier ALL-ACC DB and current New Orleans Saint, Anthony Johnson

Virginia defeats Georgia Tech in 7 inning mercy rule game 15-1

Teel got the Cavs jump started in the 2nd when he doubled and scored on a double play and then led of the 4th with a home run. Anderson followed with a walk, advanced on Stephan's single, and scored on an error by Tech to give Virginia a 3-0 lead. Virginia scored 8 runs in the 5th to put the game out of reach. Gelof walked, moved up on a single by Teel, and scored on Saucke's double. Stephan's triple sent both baserunners home. Godbout and Tuft both walked, and O'Ferrall's double brought in 2 more runs. O'Donnell's home run brought in the final 3 runs of the inning. Anderson hit a home run to lead off the 6th to extend the lead to 12-0.

O'Donnell, Teel, and Saucke each has 3 hits, and Anderson and Stephan had 2 hits each.
