Obviously with any one-paragraph breakdown it's tough to really dig into the nuances of each team and their individual players.
If there's one thing that's working in Virginia's favor IMO it's that Bennett is recognizing who can play and who can't, and is adjusting their minutes. Salt is just a stiff and has seen his minutes declining, while Bennett has given Guy an uptick in minutes, which is helpful because Guy is probably Virginia's most talented offensive player, even if Perrantes is better overall right now.
True, true.
None of it really matters, though, as GOAT COAST will probably go all the way.
EDIT: It seems crazy to me that Salt is so bad at offense. He's not a clod who can't move or a beanpole who gets pushed around. He's 6' 11", muscular, athletic, and seems to know what's going on. For some reason, though, he just can't do anything with the ball, not even dunk or lay it up with one defender on him. So weird.
