A road-heavy schedule once raised questions. Now, with five duals remaining, Virginia wrestling faces a decisive stretch where every matchup carries postseason implications.
Virginia women’s basketball made its first NCAA Tournament appearance in 1984, which started a 20-year streak of NCAA Tournament berths. Once revered as a basketball superpower, the Cavaliers have since settled into long-standing — around eight years to be specific — mediocrity. Now, in 2026, patience is a liability instead of a virtue. The team is strong on paper, but alas, the game is played on hardwood. There is still much to be proven.
Virginia women’s basketball’s opportunity to rebound against one of the ACC’s best slipped away Thursday night at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C.
In an over 80 billion dollar deal, Netflix is emerging as victorious to take over Warner Bros. Discovery. This deal comes after a bidding war in which entertainment giants such as Paramount Skydance and Comcast have thrown their hats in the ring. While the deal is not final, Warner Bros. has rejected other advances, leaving Netflix at the forefront of this war. This monumental deal, however, raises concerns over the trajectory of the entertainment industry.

After a record-setting season that ended in heartbreak last spring, No. 14 Virginia opened its dual season campaign with three home games against nearby schools. Richmond and UNC Greensboro both came to the Boar’s Head Sports Resort looking to prove themselves against an ACC stalwart, while Coach Sara O’Leary’s squad looked to start the season off with a set of wins and brush off some winter rust.

At its first meeting of the semester Tuesday, Student Council representatives discussed the launch of a dental insurance pilot covering 25 students and announced the free Plan B program will officially launch Monday.

The agreement employs Beardsley through June 20, 2031, although the agreement says the Board can terminate this agreement earlier. Also according to the contract, Beardsley’s annualized base salary is $1.3 million, and he may accrue earned annual merit as well as inflation adjustment increases.
Not long ago, conventional wisdom painted the typical gambler as a weathered middle-aged man in a smoky casino or a bookie’s parlor. Today’s reality is starkly different. Betting — especially on sports — has undergone a radical transformation in the last few years, expanding from shady backroom activities into a highly commercialized and media-driven industry.
Boiled down, basketball is a game of possessions. Winning a game requires one, if not both, of two things — scoring points more efficiently than an opponent, or simply creating a higher number of shots. What makes the sport so compelling to millions around the world is that there is no simple formula for either.
On a warm night in November, 17 games into what had clearly become the only college season for freshman forward Nick Simmonds, time was dripping low in a deadlock. No. 1 seed Virginia and No. 9 seed North Carolina, ACC Tournament quarterfinal, knotted 1-1.
The new General Assembly convened Wednesday in Richmond after resounding Democratic victories in November’s elections. The start of the legislative session and Saturday’s inauguration of Gov.-Elect Abigail Spanberger marks just the second time this century that Democrats have held a trifecta in Virginia state government — a majority in both legislative chambers, plus control of the Governor’s office. From Spanberger’s affordability plan to major amendments which could end up on the ballot this year, there are a number of key priorities for the new legislature that could affect members of the University community.
It took freshman center Johann Grünloh one minute and 23 seconds to knock down a three-pointer for No. 16 Virginia. The squad never looked back. That three-point make blossomed into a 14-0 run featuring three more buckets from beyond the arc, forcing a Louisville timeout. The Cavaliers (15-2, 4-1 ACC) held the Cardinals (12-5, 2-3 ACC) at arms length for the entire game, never surrendering the lead en route to a 79-70 victory and their first ranked win since 2023, the first under Coach Ryan Odom.

In light of this anniversary, both University and Charlottesville groups will hold celebrations throughout the year. Activities and projects — including the reenactment of the declaration and the introduction of digital platforms for curated historical information — will be held by organizations such as Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, the Center for Digital Editing and several student groups on Grounds.

Strolling through Charlottesville’s Downtown Mall, you are bound to spot a variety of sights, but one thing you will not find is any cars. On July 3, 1976, with the help of architect Lawrence Halprin, Charlottesville converted its East Main Street into the Downtown Mall we know of today. Crucially, Halprin took the drastic and uncommon step to block the district off from cars and create a pedestrian-only space. In doing so, he constructed a downtown that not only economically saved businesses by establishing a walkable space for customers, but also revitalized the city culturally — in a move many other U.S. cities can learn from.
The bus, its tires worn thin from nonstop hours of motion. The bus, previously basking in the natural rays of sunshine, now catches fleeting glances of moonlight, dimmed by drifting clouds in the sky. The bus, crammed with a mass of bodies at full capacity, slows and groans to a halt at John Paul Jones Arena. And from it lumbers the Virginia wrestling team.
