Opponents shoot only 36.4% against them overall, and only 29.1% from the arc. They have 276 assists against only 189 turnovers (that's 9.5 per game). Their opponents have committed 291 turnovers.

Here is Jay Bilas' description of the Cavs' defense: “Virginia’s defense is a feeling. It is a deep, dark depression. It is a Rubik’s Cube that you have to solve in the dark. It is a dentist’s office with an interminable wait and no magazines or Wi-Fi. It is a rhythm-killing, vexation-filled, irritating festival of frustration.”

Dana O'Neil said playing Virginia is like getting pecked to death by a dull-beaked chicken.

ESPN's John Gasaway says that Virginia's opponents are turning over the ball on 25% of their offensive trips.

From Jay Bilas:

Virginia is more like watching a boa constrictor slowly get a hold on you and squeeze. For non-residents of Charlottesville, Virginia is the basketball equivalent of a sedative. But to Hoos fans, it is a dream.
