KNAPP: The best things come in small packages: Is Tony Bennett’s small-ball lineup here to stay?

(02/13/23 12:30am)

Virginia basketball is in the midst of a dramatic resurgence. The Cavaliers (18-4, 10-3 ACC) are currently situated at No. 8 in the latest AP men’s basketball poll and have risen as high as No. 2 this season. Coach Tony Bennett’s squad has come a long way from last season’s disappointing end — a loss in the National Invitation Tournament after missing out on the NCAA Tournament for the first time in almost 10 years, excluding the pandemic-disrupted year.

KNAPP: The Virginia basketball revolving door sets a dangerous precedent for the future

(04/30/21 3:12am)

As soon as the Ohio Bobcats finished polishing the dagger driven into the hearts of the Cavalier faithful in a not-so-unpredictable 62-58 victory, the realization became abundantly clear — Virginia would no longer hold onto its title as defending national champions. In the wake of a coronavirus-shortened 2020 season, Virginia basketball had been sitting on its perch atop the college basketball world for nearly two years after a historic run to the national championship in 2019.

KNAPP: Why Casey Morsell is primed for a breakout season

(12/21/20 6:18am)

With the departure of forward Mamadi Diakite and guard Braxton Key, much of the old team from Virginia’s historic run to the national championship in 2019 is gone. Junior guard Kihei Clark and senior forward Jay Huff remain, but new faces are beginning to dominate the court. One fresh face you might’ve noticed last season is sophomore guard Casey Morsell — though, that first impression may not have been a good one. Morsell shot a paltry 27.7 percent from the field and failed to kickstart a historically bad Virginia offense. The sophomore was also synonymous with the Cavaliers’ terribly inefficient three-point game, shooting 17.6 percent from the arc.
