Virginia's Defense Triggers Offense In Win Over Michigan

Nov 30, 2011 12:25 AM

Virginia defeated No. 14 Michigan by a final score of 70-58.

Virginia limited Michigan to less than one point per possession and dominated the rebounding battle.

"When we play really hard on defense and get stops, that makes our offense run, that makes our offense go," freshman guard Malcolm Brogdon said. "I think we were able to get into a rhythm offensively because of our defense."

Brogdon had 13 of his 16 points in the second half.

Arizona, N.C. State, UNC, Indiana, Providence Ranked In Top-5 For 2012 Recruiting Class

Nov 9, 2011 12:50 PM

With Brandon Ashley, Kaleb Tarczewski, Grant Jerrett and Gabe York, Arizona currently has the best recruiting class for 2012, according to CBS Sports.

Ashley and Tarczewski are both top-10 recruits, while Jerrett and York are comfortably in the top-40.

North Carolina State follows at No. 2, with Rodney Purvis, T.J. Warren and Tyler Lewis.

North Carolina is currently ranked No. 3, even though they do not currently have any five-star prospects.

Rounding out the top-five are Indiana and Providence.

Big name prospects such as Shabazz Muhammad and Gary Harris remain without a commitment and will surely influence the final rankings.

Michigan, Texas, Kentucky, Syracuse and UCLA comprise the remainder of the top-10.

Baylor, Pitt, Maryland, Virginia, Memphis, Villanova, Michigan State, Wake Forest, Iowa and Houston are ranked 11th through 20th.

Colorado, Purdue, Florida, Texas A&M and Stanford round out the top-25.
