Following Virginia’s 75-66 win over Georgia Tech Saturday in Atlanta Virginia Head Coach Tony Bennett had this to say!
All that's important is just trying to take a step, "We took a step by playing a decent half against Wake Forest and then sort of fell apart, and partly due to them, then came home and played, got back. I thought we took a step in who we had to be and how we had to play to the best of our abilities at home. And then the next challenge is can you do it on the road? And so yeah, to be able to finish a game, play well in a second half, and withstand... consistently making some shots, getting some stops and handling some real game pressure was important, but it's just another step."
