UVA Basketball: I like this nonconference schedule; Tony must think he has a team

UVA Basketball coach Tony Bennett has his fair share of cream puffs coming to JPJ in November and December, around five games against power teams.

First, the games that you need to circle on the calendar:

• Villanova (18-15, NET: 41), on Nov. 15 in Baltimore
• Tennessee (24-8, NET: 7), Baylor (22-10, NET: 15) or John’s (20-13, NET: 32) at the Baha Mar Hoops Bahamas Championship, Nov. 21-22
• Florida (24-11, NET: 29) down in Gainesville on Dec. 4 in the ACC/SEC Challenge
• Memphis (22-10, NET: 75) on Dec. 18 in JPJ

The games in JPJ that you can get into for $5 on StubHub: Campbell (Nov. 6), Coppin State (Nov. 11), Manhattan (Nov. 26), Holy Cross (Nov. 29), Bethune-Cookman (Dec. 12) and American (Dec. 22).

This is a decently challenging non-conference schedule.

Tony must think he has a team.
