Hosting a struggling Syracuse, No. 18 Virginia took to the court Saturday afternoon at John Paul Jones Arena, looking for its 20th win of the season and of Coach Ryan Odom’s tenure in Charlottesville. Playing against a puzzling zone defense and a trio of high-octane guards, the Cavaliers (20-3, 9-2 ACC) pulled away in the second half for a back-and-forth 72-59 win over the Orange (13-11, 4-7 ACC).
The blustery weather of early February was unkind to No. 10 Virginia women’s lacrosse to open the season. Ice rendered Klöckner Stadium unplayable, so the Cavaliers (0-1, 0-0 ACC) were forced to play their first game on the turf practice field without fans in attendance.
The University Judiciary Committee has adjudicated three cases and has 11 pending cases on the docket as the first month of the spring semester comes to an end. Aside from cases, the UJC is also preparing to host its third annual Judiciary Week set to take place mid-March.

Blenz Bowls, a new dining location serving smoothies and smoothie bowls, will open Tuesday at the Aquatic and Fitness Center, according to a post Feb. 2 by the U.Va. Dine Instagram account. The new dining location will operate from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., and will take over the space of Juice Laundry located in the AFC, as both Juice Laundry locations closed abruptly in the middle of the Fall 2025 semester due to operation difficulties with U.Va. Dine.
Spring cannot come soon enough for Virginia men’s lacrosse, which is hoping to bury the demon that was the 2024-25 season. The Cavaliers dropped from a preseason No. 4 ranking to failing to even make the ACC tournament, rounding out the season with their lowest win total in 21 years.
Friday, Virginia entered John Paul Jones Arena for its final home meet of the season — a match with Commonwealth Clash rival No 7. Virginia Tech. The Hokies (9-2, 4-0 ACC) arrived in Charlottesville riding a four-dual win streak. Through four bouts, the Cavaliers (9-7, 1-4 ACC) kept the dual close, trailing just 7-10. From there, Virginia lost its footing, failing to score the rest of the way and suffering a 7-32 loss.
Thanks to the popularity of projects like “The Super Mario Bros. Movie” and “The Last of Us,” video game adaptations have become a gold rush in Hollywood. An unexpected success to come from this trend is “Fallout,” which expanded Bethesda Game Studios’ post-apocalyptic video game series to television and broke viewership records on Amazon Prime Video. Produced by some of the top minds behind HBO’s “Westworld” in collaboration with Bethesda, the massively popular show has introduced millions to the wacky wasteland that gamers have been roleplaying in for nearly 30 years. Now, a year and a half after its debut — a miraculously quick turnaround by modern TV standards — the second season has arrived. While it has its faults, it manages to improve upon the first season with a tighter narrative, delightful fan service and all the absurd carnage that viewers have come to expect.
The second Sunday in February has arrived, bringing with it the annual spike in Frito-Lay revenue and the sudden influx of unsolicited ball knowledge from otherwise average viewers of football.

Some are there for the commercials, some for the halftime show, some just for moral support when, inevitably, one of the two teams in the competition loses.

With Feb. 14 just around the corner, the shelves of the CVS on University Avenue are emptied of stuffed animals and boxed chocolates. While there’s nothing wrong with a box of Russel Stover chocolates and an overpriced polyester teddy bear, these creative Valentine’s Day gifts offer more thoughtful and personalized alternatives. From cute confections to creative keepsakes, these picks offer something a little more memorable than a standard bouquet of roses — and are sure to fill the heart of anyone who’s lucky enough to receive them.

Daily Dose officially reopened in McLeod Hall Jan. 14, replacing the former Cafe McLeod with a rebranded, grab-and-go focused dining concept intended to serve students in the School of Nursing.
