Streaking the Lawn Roundtable: Expectations and Predictions for the 2019-20 Basketball Season

The Virginia Cavaliers’ basketball team is coming off the first national title in program history and lost three of its most prolific players ever. 2019-20 is a new season. What are your expectations entering the year?

Jay Pierce: There are so many unknowns for this team that this is probably the hardest season to predict under Bennett since his first few seasons. However, it’s easy to expect a few things: a strong defense, an offense that will need to rely on post scoring more than...ever, and a team that plays with significantly more discipline than what we saw in last nights “Preseason Champion Classic” or whatever.
