The Virginia basketball team rattled off two more wins in the Saturday-Monday quick double dip this past weekend. The Cavaliers took down Notre Dame, 60-54, on Saturday and Virginia Tech, 64-58, on Monday. Neither win fit the pristine category as UVA struggled shooting a bit against the Irish and caught the turnover bug again against the Hokies with 13.

Still, the Hoos continue to win. They’re now 23-2 overall and 11-2 in the ACC with the only two losses, of course, coming against Duke. All of which is blending into the stretch run with one thing on the minds of Virginia fans. How will this team look in March? Are the offensive issues lately merely conference opponents knowing and defending well? Is UVA experimenting a bit with lineups and looks? Can the defense stop a hot shooting team in the tourney? And so on.

The Double Bonus returns to look at some of the items form the last two games.

Without a doubt, what’s really stuck in the craw of fans and Tony Bennett alike right now is turnovers. The usually reliable low turnover ways of Virginia have been on rocky ground of late. Starting with the NC State game on Jan. 29, the Hoos have rattled off turnover games of 16, 14, 14, 10, 8, and 13 in a row. The single-digit exception in there came against Notre Dame, but all eight turnovers came in the second half.
