End of an Era... Beginning of Another
I just got home from watching U.Va.'s painful loss to Bradley in the semi-finals of the CBI. I can't believe I just watched Sean's last collegiate game... doesn't feel right. At the same time, Sylven Landesberg is playing in the McDonald's...
Trouble Brewing in Norfolk
I think the folks on TheSabre 's Women's Basketball Board are about to go postal on the NCAA and the referees for today's game. The Hoos are down by 1 with just a couple minutes left. Hopefully they can pull it off in spite of everything else...

Singletary: Simply Sensational
I've been incredibly busy all morning so I didn't get to blog about the win last night. But here it is. Sean Singletary scored 8 points in a span of about 26 seconds last night to take the Cavaliers from a 4 point deficit (70-74) to a 3 point...
Lady Hoos Win Big, Set Up Double-Header With ODU
The 4-seeded Women's Basketball team crushed UCSB late last night, 86-52. The win in the first round of the Women's NCAA Tournament sets up a match-up with the 5 seed, ODU who beat Liberty earlier in the day. There was a similar margin in that...

Hoos Win First CBI Game
Well, it certainly wasn't a big win. And it certainly wasn't pretty. And it certainly won't help Dave Leitao sleep any better tonight. But the Hoos live to play another day, beating Richmond 66-64 at the John Paul Jones arena. We now play...
Game Day!
Less than 8 hours until we get to see Sean Singletary in JPJ again. My floor seats are burning a hole in my pocket. I can't wait.
Women Get the 4 Seed
Just a tad surprising, but the #23 U.Va. Women's Basketball team has received a 4 seed in the women's NCAA tournament. That's a bit higher (I was expecting a 5 seed) but really awesome. The best part is that they're in the East Regional...

I Got my CBI Tickets
And good tickets too. Floor seats, directly across from the U.Va. bench. Not bad for $10 each ;)

Hoos Receive CBI Invitation
Its certainly not what we were hoping for when the season started, but personally - I cherish the opportunity to see Sean Singletary playing in another game at JPJ. The part that makes me the most happy? Donors to the Virginia Athletics Foundation will...

Virginia Bows Out Early
The Virginia Men's Basketball team continued its streak of unimpressive performances in the ACC Tournament this year, losing in the first round to Georgia Tech - a team they had beaten in Atlanta less than two weeks earlier. The first 25 minutes or...
Tourney Time is Here
The first game of the 2008 ACC Tournament is already in the books down in Charlotte, NC. FSU beat Wake 70-60, avenging the Seminoles' two regular season losses to the Demon Deacons. Up next is Miami versus N.C. State. Too bad ACC Select is acting...

Senior Night: Memorable in Many Ways
I've been doing a lot of praying lately to various sports gods - praying that Sean Singletary's career at U.Va., along with Chris Long's career at U.Va., would never come to an end. Apparently, no one was listening. Last night marked the final...
We're Not In Last Place!
U.Va. pulled off a great win in our make-up game over Georgia Tech today, 76-74. The game was close the entire way with both teams making runs. Calvin Baker hit a 3 pointer with 4 seconds left to put the Cavs in the lead for good. Its great to actually...

Sports Weekend Recap
Well I've mentioned a decent amount of this already, but I wanted to give a full recap of what happened this weekend in U.Va. sports. Its an impressive list of events, I must say. #16 Baseball went 4-0 this weekend, beating Siena 17-2 (Friday) and...
Mid-Day Recap
I just got back from the women's lacrosse game. It took me 35 minutes to get out of the parking lot. Anyway, they won. 13-8 I believe. The refs were terrible, but in our favor. The Syracuse fans were... not very pleasant. They were (rightfully) annoyed...
