The “team of destiny” has fulfilled its mandate.
The Virginia Cavaliers are the college basketball national champions, following a thrilling 85-77 overtime win over Texas Tech. Coach Tony Bennett and his program now have their first national title in school history, and I can’t think of anybody more deserving. (RELATED: Tickets To Virginia Vs.

In a sport that has allegedly been corrupted to an almost spectacular degree, watching a great man like Bennett take home the title has to be rewarding. Coach Bennett is a great man who loves his players and family and leads as a man of deep faith.
“That’s for me where I draw my strength from, my peace, my steadiness.”
