Virginia released their 2011-12 hoops schedule Wednesday, and it includes 16-games at home including the normal 8 ACC contests. Tony Bennett’s Wahoos hope to improve on his first season in Charlottesville where he finished 16-15 overall, and 7-9 in the ACC. Virginia was 5-5 in their last ten games of the year.
There aren’t a lot of potential JPJ sellouts at home in the non-conference slate, but I am psyched to see Michigan come to town for the ACC/Big-10 Challenge on November 29, as well as in-state foe George Mason, who comes to C-Ville on December 6th. Another interesting matchup will be when the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay plays the Hoos on November 25th. Tony Bennett is the all-time leading scorer at Green Bay.
