It is bad form to think about what is missing on
Valentine's Day — that special someone who is no longer there. But on
Saturday, despite sharing a special moment with the basketball team I

Facing its first true test of the season against George Washington Friday, the Virginia basketball team found itself overly anxious toward the start. In the first half, the Cavaliers missed six of their first seven shots, made just 3-of-7 free throws and finished with 22 points. Ball movement ceased. Tough shots clanged off the rim. The Colonials took a four-point lead into the break.

If you had showed up two hours late for the Virginia basketball game against South Carolina State Tuesday, walked past the scoreboard without looking and went straight to the team's postgame press conference, you would have been hard pressed to figure out that the Cavaliers had won. Again. By 20 points, improving to 3-0 and raising their scoring margin to +76.

The last time the Virginia basketball team played in Harrisonburg, Cavalier legend Ralph Sampson was in the building following a program-record 30-win season that propelled the Cavaliers to a top-10 ranking entering the season. Twenty-two years later, history repeated itself.

The East Region's top seed from a season ago, the Virginia Cavaliers, received the No. 8 national ranking in the USA Today preseason poll released last Thursday. That seemingly insignificant fact is utterly jaw-dropping in light of recent history.

If an unhealthy addiction is defined as an irrational fixation on something which is objectively not worth the trouble, then tie me to a chair, send in the shrinks and let the intervention begin. I have a problem.

The Virginia men’s soccer team began the second half of its season Tuesday night at Klöckner Stadium with a widening chasm between its record and its reputation. On paper, the Cavaliers are a force to be reckoned with; a team blending youthful skill and veteran savvy, poised to build on last season’s College Cup appearance. But the scoreboard has been telling a different tale, that of a team struggling to establish an identity and achieve consistent offensive success.

As the celebration unfolded at Scott Stadium Saturday following the Virginia football team’s 23-21 victory against then-No. 21 Louisville, reactions were anything but understated. Henry Coley wept. Greyson Lambert beamed. Mike London exalted.

Four thousand miles away from the sleepy lobby of a dusty hostel in the heart of Paris, France, the community I had abruptly left behind was nearing a prideful triumph. Charlottesville, a college town that values its rich academic tradition more than its athletic prowess, watched gleefully — as did I, my eyes glued to a laptop — as Virginia knocked off mighty Duke. In a basketball game. On a championship stage, no less.

The Virginia basketball team returned to an electric John Paul Jones Arena Friday for the season opener of the most-anticipated season of coach Tony Bennett’s five-year tenure. Despite handling James Madison with ease, 61-41, the No. 24 Cavaliers’ performance Friday left plenty to be desired.

For hours, I agonized. For weeks, I wondered what could have been.
