The Cavs are a mix of younger players and veterans looking to make a deep March Madness run.
“It’s such a great opportunity to be in this tournament,” Cavaliers Coach Tony Bennett said Monday. “I told the guys after [the ACC tournament], ‘Remember last year.’ We were excited to play in the NIT but wanted to play in the NCAA tournament, and just that feeling of why certain guys came here, it makes it all worthwhile.”
The Cavaliers’ starting lineup comprises all upperclassmen, while the majority of the regular reserves are freshmen and sophomores. Most notable among that group are freshman guard Ryan Dunn, considered the most athletic member of the roster, and freshman guard Isaac McKneely.Franklin, a senior guard, leads Virginia in scoring and three-pointers made and is second in three-point percentage .
With an NCAA tournament berth locked up entering the regular season finale, so overcome with emotion was Gardner that during a pregame ceremony honoring the graduating class he pulled his jersey over his head and wept with his parents by his side.
