Virginia men’s hoops tickets go on sale Friday. Tony Bennett’s Wahoos finished 16-15 (7-9 ACC) during the 2010-11 season, and things are finally looking up in the JPJ. The home schedule, which will be released sometime later this month on the team’s website, will feature eight ACC games and eight out of conference contests.
Three top-flight recruits will be joining returning fifth-year senior Mike Scott in the lineup to give Bennett’s team the deepest roster he’s had so far in his short tenure in Charlottesville. Four-star shooting-guard Malcolm Brogdon from Norcross, Georgia is the Wahoos’ top recent addition. Also joining the team this season will be forward Darion Atkins from the Landon School in Bethesda and Wisconsin native Paul Jesperson, who is a very smooth small forward.
Here is info on how to place your orders for tickets from the official release from the Sports Information Department at UVA:
