Wills right there with him, but from a leadership standpoin

For college basketball fans that value the importance of defense, Wednesday nights matchup between No. 12 Virginia and California at Berkeley, Calif., will be one that isnt to be missed.Almost a year ago to the date, Virginia edged California 63-62 in overtime in Charlottesville, Va.The Cavaliers travel to the West Coast for an important non-conference game with the Golden Bears before starting their ACC schedule with one of the best defenses in the country -- and maybe one of head coach Tony Bennetts best since hes arrived at Virginia.Four of Virginias 10 opponents have been held to 40 points or fewer, and if you include the Cavaliers win over Iowa, five have been held to 41 or fewer. Bennets squad leads the country in scoring defense at just under 47 points per game allowed.California enters the game with a 9-2 record but will face by far its toughest opponent. The Golden Bears also boast a stout defense, surrendering just under 60 points per game, and have not allowed more than 65 points in any of their nine wins.Three players are averaging in double figures scoring for California. Sophomore standout Ivan Rabb will get his second and final shot at a win over Virginia after California dropped a heartbreaker at John Paul Jones Arena last season. Rabb is averaging 15 points and nine rebounds per game and will be a handful inside for the Cavaliers.Rabb scored just nine points in the meeting last season but did pull down a team-high 12 rebounds. Fellow frontcourt mate Jabari Bird is averaging just under 16 points per game and six rebounds per game.Virginia has maintained its balanced offensive approach and put four players in double figures in Saturdays win over Robert Morris. Sophomore Jack Salt scored a career-high 10 points in the win and will get the chance to play in front of his family for the first time in the Golden State.Ive got eight family members that are going to be out there, so Im pretty excited, the New Zealand native said. I havent seen them for a while. Ill get to stay with them in California for a few days, which will be nice. I havent seen them for maybe eight months, so I am really looking forward to seeing my family.Senior guard London Perrantes will also get the chance to play in front of some family members. The 6-foot-2 point guard, a Los Angeles native, scored 10 points and dished out six assists in the Cavaliers win last season.I am glad we are going to Cal for London (Perrantes)s sake, Jack (Salt)s family will be there as well, Bennett said. I think the competition will step up from here on out and we will have to be ready.

LOUIS -- St. ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins received the official news Monday that they feared was coming: Safety DeAngelo Hall tore the ACL in his right knee and will miss the remainder of the season.Hall said Sunday night that doctors told him it likely was his ACL. A team source and Halls agent Alvin Keels confirmed the news?to ESPN.Hes coming along, playing better and better at safety, so its pretty significant, Redskins coach Jay Gruden said Monday. From a player perspective, Wills right there with him, but from a leadership standpoint, D-Hall has done a lot for this organization, a lot for this team. Hes going to be missed.Hall hurt his knee in the second quarter of Sundays 29-27 win over the New York Giants when he was making a tackle attempt on receiver Odell Beckham Jr. The Redskins have another former corner,?Will Blackmon, and Duke Ihenacho as backup safeties.For Hall, its the third straight injury-shortened season. He played in only three games in 2014 thanks to an Achilles tear and was limited to 11 games last season as he recovered from that injury and also dealt with a knee issue. He turns 33 in November, which might have made Sundays game his last with Washington.ddddddddddddHes got to really take a look at it and see where he is once he does the rehab, if he wants to try it again, Gruden said. I havent talked to him about that. We just want him to get well first. Thats the No. 1 priority right now.On Saturday night, Hall organized a teamng fun, Hall said. I told them at any given moment you never know when your last snap is going to be. That could have been my last snap. Its [crushing], but thats football.He wasnt the only Redskins defensive back to be hurt Sunday. Corner Bashaud Breeland suffered a high right ankle sprain in the first quarter; he left the stadium in a walking boot and on crutches and was undergoing an MRI Monday as well.The Redskins also lost two offensive line starters to injuries in the game -- guard Shawn Lauvao (ankle) and center Kory Lichtensteiger (calf) -- forcing Pro Bowl tackle Trent Williams to play most of the second half at left guard.
