When I think about the Virginia men's basketball season, I can only think of one way to describe my overall feelings toward the 2010-11 campaign: torn. All year long, we supporters of the Cavaliers have been torn. We're torn between wanting to see the positives and dismayed as a result of the negatives that you simply can't ignore - like setting record lows in points scored on multiple occasions. We're torn between hoping that coach Tony Bennett is the right guy for the job and wondering if a slow-it-up, run-a-half-court-set offense really ever will work in the ACC. We're torn between understanding that the development of freshman players takes time and wanting to throw the remote, your cell phone, or anything else you can easily get your hands on when one of them makes a mistake. We're torn between understanding that we've lost a lot of players to injury and wondering if the team really just isn't that good. It always has seemed like just when we fix one thing - be it offensive shooting, offensive consistency or just plain defense - everything else breaks down.
