Today, the top-seeded Virginia Cavaliers kick off their quest for the Final Four as they open NCAA tournament action against 16 seed UMBC. Fourth year captain Isaiah Wilkins will be critical to any type of run the Hoos hope to make in the post season. Wilkins, the ACC’s Defensive Player of the Year, is the prototypical glue guy. He has started every game for the Hoos this season, averaging just under six points and just over six rebounds per game.

Wilkins is an outstanding one-on-one defender and plays perfectly within the Pack Line.
