Where is Virginia most vulnerable?

Fran Fraschilla and Seth Greenberg got together to discuss the keys to Virginia's undefeated start, where the Cavaliers are vulnerable and their chances both in the ACC and nationally.

Fran Fraschilla: What I saw in the last two games is a team that we all expect to be perfect defensively, yet knowing Tony Bennett, he is going to be tweaking his half-court defense after the Miami and Davidson games. Little Angel Rodriguez proved the notion that you can drive the ball at them and you can run different multiple pick-and-roll looks and attack them that way. There aren’t many guys in the ACC who can do this in terms of getting into the teeth of that Virginia defense, but I thought Rodriguez was brilliant Saturday attacking it and getting into the lane and making plays. I also thought they had some issues blocking out, especially on the foul line -- they were caught flat-footed at times defensively.

The reason I point these out is because we all believe that they are as good of a defensive team as there is in the country, yet we are in early January and coaches like Tony Bennett are continuing to work on and tweak the things that don’t go well.

Seth Greenberg: I think every game is different. You’re playing Miami in Miami, and what are they going to do? Spread you out, have a lot of spread ball screens, make you guard the floor because they can make shots -- and that’s going to give everyone a problem. I think we tend to overreact. The reality is that even the best defensive teams are going to have some games where they aren’t as good.
