UVA returns 76% of their minutes and 73% of their points from last year. With 26 days until the season starts does this experience predict future success and how does it compare to the rest of the ACC?
One of the reasons the Virginia Cavaliers Men's Basketball team has such high expectations this season is because a majority of the team returns. UVA went 30-4 last year and only lost two players who played significant minutes for the Cavaliers, hence the #6 ranking in the recent coaches poll. When looking at last year's total stats, the Hoos return 76% of last year's minutes, 73% of points, 72% of rebounds, 83% of assists, 75% of steals, and 65% of blocks.
