OK, it’s time to play the overrated-underrated game with the current season, and we didn’t just limit it to teams or players. We’ve also included a couple of coaches in the underrated category as well as one player’s ego. Overrated? We’ve got leagues, teams, coaches, players and even a recruiting class.
Underrated1. Tony Bennett, Virginia Cavaliers The 45-year-old is as low-key as it gets, the furthest thing from a self-promoter. Remember, this is a guy who took Washington State to a pair of NCAA tournament berths -- including a Sweet 16 appearance -- in his three seasons in Pullman. It took him a little while to get acclimated in Charlottesville, but he swept the ACC regular-season and tournament titles last season and has the unbeaten Cavs as the No. 3 team in the land right now. 2. Melo Trimble, Maryland Terrapins Somehow, Maryland’s freshman point guard gets lost among the other elite frosh. Yet he’s probably just as important -- if not more so -- to his team’s success as any of them.
