UVA was completely dominant tonight. So I'll keep this short...
Wake had more turnovers tonight (13) than they did field goals (12).
8 steals and 8 blocks tonight. Those are Kentucky numbers. Not stats you would expect from a pack line team.
Devin Thomas, who has averaged a very respectable 13 a game this year, has been held to one (1) field goal against us this season.
We're all really impressed, but there were a couple areas for improvement. Our passing was below average tonight. Bennett will have something to say about the 11 TOs tonight. Even those passes which connected didn't have the "crispness" and "on target accuracy" with which we've become accustomed.
Our assist numbers weren't particularly impressive tonight, though that is to be expected when your starting PG goes down. I'll chalk that one up to the first game without LP.
Two miscellaneous thoughts. Bennett is usually a guy who doesn't wear his emotions on his sleeve. They caught him on camera when Frazier scored, and I've never seen him so happy/proud. "Scrubs" is usually meant as an insult. I (and I bet TB does too) view them as guys who work their tail off every single practice to make the team better, all the while knowing they're not going to get any recognition for it. I respect the hell out of them for it.
Lastly, is there some "secret memo" that the ACC sent to the officials telling them to not call crap on the inside? Our guys were getting HAMMERED all night in the lane. All I'm asking for is some consistency. You can't let a hockey brawl erupt on the inside and still call "touch" fouls on the perimeter.
