Already 20 points behind and unable to match the seemingly endless three-point shots from No. 18 Georgia Tech, Virginia floundered on the court. But, like waking up from a dream, the Cavaliers (11-9, 3-5 ACC) began to pick up speed and cut down the deficit against the Yellow Jackets’ (17-3, 5-3 ACC) to keep some skin in the game Thursday at John Paul Jones Arena. Virginia was not going to surrender easily.

The last time Virginia played at John Paul Jones Arena, a deep heave with only seconds on the clock snatched a win from its hands, worsening a historically poor start to conference play. That left a bitter taste in the team’s mouth, and though the team lost its next game, it came back to JPJ hoping to get back in the win column.

Growing up, if you told Shane Cohen he was going to sign with Nike as a professional runner, he probably would have looked at you funny. Then he would have gone back to shooting baskets. But now, after a remarkable 2024 outdoor season at Virginia where he claimed a national title in the 800-meter, earned All-American First Team honors and set a personal best in the 800-meter final at the Olympic Trials, the fantasy of becoming a professional athlete has become a reality.

The Virginia health commissioner will decide this spring whether to authorize a new kidney transplant center in Roanoke, marking the end of a year-long controversy. The transplant center, proposed by the Carilion Clinic, would be the first provider of such services in Southwest Virginia. On its face, the potential value of this proposal is immense, as it aims to increase access to lifesaving healthcare in currently underserved rural communities.

Just over a year ago, Gov. Glenn Youngkin issued Executive Order 30. In it, Youngkin lays out sweeping guidelines for the usage of Artificial Intelligence across all corners of the Commonwealth. The order includes a five page document specifically dealing with how Virginia schools should implement AI into the classroom. Therein, Youngkin encourages schools to “harness AI to empower student success,” and to “be constantly discerning and responsive to the continuous expansion of AI capabilities and uses.” A year removed from their implementation, these lofty goals fail to actually engage with the current state of schools across the country, and in Virginia particularly.

What should it cost to make your voice heard if you think the government is infringing on your rights? Should the government be allowed to leave you with the attorney’s fees they owe you, even if you succeed in making them change their laws? These are the questions being answered in the case Lackey v.

The consequences of the Court’s decision could be grave — citizens could, in effect, be punished for and deterred from challenging the government for its actions. Governments must be accountable for the decisions they make, so neither Virginia nor any other state can prevent or punish a meritorious effort towards accountability. The Supreme Court must prioritize protecting the litigating power of the people against potentially tyrannical laws by their government.

Over a decade after its initial creation in 2014 and seven years after Mac Miller’s tragic death in 2018, Miller’s second posthumous and seventh studio album “Balloonerism” released Friday. Across its 58-minute long runtime, “Balloonerism” revels in heavy bass instrumentals, sonically ranging from funky jazz-inspired piano tracks to hazy and slow sounds of contemplation. It is a pensive listening experience that provides more of what Miller has excelled at in his discography while also remaining distinct from previous albums.

As I gingerly trek to class along the ice-coated sidewalks on Grounds, I find it hard to fathom that a mere month ago, I was in Japan, enjoying the endearing company of my grandparents.
