Virginia Basketball impresses in opening week

Virginia was absolutely dominant in last week’s wins, taking down UNC Greensboro 76-51 on Friday night and following that up with a demolition of St. Francis Brooklyn 72-32 on Tuesday. The defense was spectacular holding both teams to long stretches without scoring. It’s what we’ve come to expect from the Hoos. Let’s take a look back at the good and the bad, as well as a look ahead at the week to come...From the Rafters.

  1. Darius Thompson gets the start - Coming into the year, when asked who would be the starters and who might fill the void left by Malcolm Brogdon, the general consensus was that Devon Hall and Marial Shayok would be first in line.
