Virginia men’s basketball never trailed during their Tuesday night demolition of North Carolina A&T at home. The Cavaliers (3-0, 0-0 ACC) gained a 10-6 over the Aggies (0-3, 0-0 CAA) before opening up the deficit with a 28-8 run in the middle of the first half. A complacent Virginia was outscored in the second half, but still managed to ease to a 80-51 point win.

Virginia basketball will begin a new era Monday night. The Cavaliers will enter the season without a player from the 2018-19 national championship roster for the first time in a decade and return just one player with multiple starts from last year’s squad. Amid a wave of transfers and underclassmen, Coach Tony Bennett and the sheer ethos of Virginia hoops will make sure that nothing is too different in the John Paul Jones Arena this winter.

Even by the standards of the storied football programs of Harvard and Virginia, Oct. 11, 1947, was a colossal day in collegiate football. 76 years ago, Harvard tackle Chester Pierce became the first Black college football player to face an all-white school below the Mason-Dixon line when he traveled to Charlottesville to compete against the Cavaliers. Even on the 76th anniversary of this milestone moment in sports, its lasting impact on the University and the changes towards equity it led to across college athletics are still seen today.

Last May, The Sickos Committee, a social media group of self-styled college football fans loyal to the weirdest parts of college football, posted a thread on X containing an artifact most Virginia sports fans had no memory of. This thread followed the brief life of a mascot who lived in Charlottesville for just three weeks in 1983 — the forgotten ‘Hoo, a failed commercial stunt and object of revulsion.

After the 2021 season, two football programs with prestige bowl appearances in the last decade had regressed to mediocrity and were without head coaches. Both programs had veteran dual-threat quarterbacks in place and poached respected coaches from rival programs. One of the coaches, Sonny Dykes, led Texas Christian from 5-7 to 13-2 and a national championship game appearance in 2022. Meanwhile, Virginia (3-7, 1-6 ACC) sputtered under newly appointed head coach Tony Elliott.

Virginia fell to No. 15 North Carolina in the South’s Oldest Rivalry Saturday, and now will look to bounce back at home against Pittsburgh — who lost to the Tar Heels just a week before Virginia. The Cavaliers (3-6, 1-5 ACC) played one of their most complete games of the season against the Tar Heels, nearly matching them in every stat but falling just short in a 28-31 home defeat.

Virginia hosted No. 17 North Carolina at Scott Stadium Saturday afternoon for the 127th edition of The South’s Oldest Rivalry. Despite playing one of their most complete games so far under first-year Coach Tony Elliott, the Cavaliers (3-6, 1-5 ACC) couldn’t quite manage to topple the surging Tar Heels (8-1, 6-0 ACC), falling 31-28.

After picking up the first conference win of Coach Tony Elliott’s career, Virginia will try to pick up a second straight win over Miami at Scott Stadium Saturday. The Cavaliers (3-4, 1-3 ACC) are coming off of an ugly road victory against Georgia Tech where the team committed four turnovers and 10 penalties, but benefitted just enough from an early injury to the Yellow Jackets’ starting quarterback to pull out a 16-9 triumph.

Coach Tony Elliott had yet to beat a Power Five opponent entering Thursday night’s game at Georgia Tech. In an ugly game in Atlanta, Ga., the Cavaliers (3-4, 1-3 ACC) bested the Yellow Jackets (3-4, 2-2 ACC) 16-9 for their first conference win.

After their 22-20 loss to Syracuse Friday night, Virginia has now gone 11 months without winning a road game or beating a Power Five team. The Cavaliers (2-2, 0-1 ACC) will try to end both of those streaks against Duke (3-1, 0-0 ACC) Saturday night in Durham, N.C. when they will face a surprisingly solid Blue Devil team that only just lost its first game of the season to an even more surprising Kansas team, 35-27.

During the reign of former Coach Bronco Mendenhall, Virginia football consistently possessed one of the best offenses in the country. Mendenhall took over a team that scored in the bottom quarter of all FBS teams in 2015 and improved its output nearly every year until it peaked as the 21st highest scoring unit in the country last year.

Virginia football faced a 16-0 halftime deficit Friday night in New York, but fought back valiantly to take a 20-19 lead into the final two minutes before Syracuse senior kicker Andre Smyzt kicked the game winner to pull out the victory 22-20. The Cavaliers (2-2, 0-1 ACC) nearly weathered three missed kicks from two different kickers and a poor performance from senior quarterback Brennan Armstrong, but the Orange (4-0, 2-0 ACC) proved too strong.

Virginia suffered its first loss of the Coach Tony Elliott era Saturday, 24-3 at Illinois, extending its four game losing streak against Football Bowl Subdivision opponents. Now, the Cavaliers (1-1, 0-0 ACC) will return to Scott Stadium looking to avenge that loss and beat Old Dominion (1-1, 0-0 Sun Belt). The Monarchs are coming off a nationally televised week one upset of rival Virginia Tech at home 20-17 and a loss at East Carolina last week, 39-21.

After starting Coach Tony Elliott’s reign with an uneven and sloppy 34-17 win against Football College Subdivision team Richmond, the Cavaliers (1-0, 0-0 ACC) will travel to Champaign, Ill. to take on the perennially underachieving Illini (1-1, 0-1 Big Ten) Saturday afternoon. The Illini won their opener against lowly Wyoming 38-6 before losing to conference foe Indiana 23-20 on a last minute, backbreaking drive.

Football Championship Subdivision school Richmond hung tough with a Virginia team that was sloppy at times, but the Spiders (0-1, 0-0 CAA) were unable to spoil Coach Tony Elliot’s debut Saturday afternoon. Richmond took an early lead, but a humming Virginia (1-0, 0-0 ACC) offense scored touchdowns on four straight first half possessions to retake the advantage. The Cavaliers then survived a subpar third quarter and took care of business in the fourth to put away the season’s first victory.

Virginia football enters this new season with tons of roster turnover induced by the departure of Bronco Mendenhall and subsequent hiring of Tony Elliott as head coach. After Mendenhall’s departure, several key players transferred and others graduated and moved on to the National Football League. Meanwhile, Elliott brought an influx of Football Championship Subdivision talent through the portal and will focus on promoting internal talent, particularly in the trenches on the offensive and defensive line.
