Devonte was killing Salt out there for UVa. The reason UVa won is because UNCW didn't play a lick of defense and that kid off the bench went nuts. UNCW really should have won that game. And I'm not necessarily blaming the system either. It was a case that Chris Flemmings had to play the 4 (actually defended pretty well btw for his size/great all around player) instead of 3 due to having to get Bryce out there at 3 with a knock down guy at 2.

Getting to this year....does it matter who you call what in the post? You are who you guard. We will see. Cacok can guard a 4 or 5. And, is much more capable of making plays than you think. Think CAA final when he drove the baseline and dished to a cutting Bryce. If they don't get injured, they will win games and compete okay in the top 4 or top 5 provided they defend and can get Fornes, Cacok and 1 or 2 more guys (thinking Talley for sure) than can get double figures. Scoring will be the challenge this year. The following year should be rock and roll again perhaps.

They lost because UVa was better than them in the backcourt. Perrantes beat them like a drum off the dribble at will. Just a better player then anything UNCW had.
