True Grit

By Zack Bartee | January 14, 2014

The old adage goes: you learn more from failure than success. Personally, I would prefer winning every time, and I would bet the Virginia men’s basketball team would agree. Yet in spite of a heartbreaking sequence of events in the final 30 seconds of a 69-65 road loss to Duke, the saying held true and we learned just how gritty the Cavaliers are. Virginia spent much of the first half trying to claw its way back into the game.

Despite 17 points from Malcolm Brogdon, Virginia fell to No. 23 Duke, 69-65.

Cavaliers fall short against No. 23 Duke

By Michael Eilbacher | January 13, 2014

Shooting just 38 percent from the field, Virginia really had no business being in their game Monday night against Duke. But after a stunning second half run, Virginia took a 65-64 lead with 38 seconds left. Duke would take the lead back, and on the ensuing possession, a missed deflected pass would give the Blue Devils the ball and the dramatic 69-65 win.

New year, new team

By Zack Bartee | January 12, 2014

If the Virginia men’s basketball team resolved to go undefeated in the New Year, the Cavaliers have kept their resolution much longer than I have.

By Zack Bartee | January 4, 2014

The Virginia men’s basketball won its sixth consecutive ACC season opener Saturday against Florida State, defeating the Seminoles 62-50 in Tallahassee and rebounding from its second-most lopsided defeat ever under coach Tony Bennett. The Cavaliers ended a 17-game losing streak in the state of Florida, notching their first victory in the state since a 69-66 win against the Seminoles Feb. 17, 2001.

Volunteers outgun Cavaliers, 87-52

By Zack Bartee | December 30, 2013

When Tennessee senior guard Antonio Barton hit a half-court 3-pointer as time expired in the first half, it epitomized the Virginia men’s basketball team’s night. The Volunteers shot the lights out Monday in Knoxville, trouncing the Cavaliers 87-52 and dealing the team its worst defeat since falling to No. 11 Washington 106-63 Nov. 22, 2010.

For the second time in as many games, sophomore guard Justin Anderson led the Virginia men’s basketball team to victory, recording a game-high 14 points and eight rebounds against Norfolk State. The Cavaliers never trailed in their 66-56 win against the Spartans, and enter their short holiday break on a two-game winning streak.

Ocean-throwing blues

By Fritz Metzinger | December 4, 2013

To say Virginia failed to “throw it in the ocean” in a deflating 48-38 home defeat to No. 8 Wisconsin Wednesday night might represent a gross understatement.

By Michael Eilbacher | December 4, 2013

With two and a half minutes to go in Virginia’s Wednesday night game against No. 8 Wisconsin, the Cavaliers picked up a rebound and brought the ball down the court looking to start something – anything, really.

By Michael Eilbacher | December 3, 2013

When No. 8 Wisconsin coach Bo Ryan steps on the court at John Paul Jones Arena Wednesday, he will be looking to best Virginia coach Tony Bennett for his 300th win with the Badgers. But over a decade ago, the two shared the court a different time, when Bennett coached on Ryan’s staff for his very first win.

By Alix Glynn | November 20, 2013

After consecutive victories against Davidson and Navy, the Virginia men’s basketball team is working to regain its stride after suffering its first loss last week at the hands of No. 12 Virginia Commonwealth. The Cavaliers seek to continue that stride when they face Liberty at John Paul Jones Arena Saturday at 4 p.m. in the first round of the Corpus Christi Challenge.

Brick house

By Zack Bartee | November 20, 2013

The Virginia men’s basketball team cruised to a 67-42 victory against Navy Tuesday night. All 15 active players saw playing time and four scored in double figures. Virginia fans should be pleased with the team’s performance. Or should they?

Just a minute and a half into the Virginia men’s basketball team’s game against Navy, Midshipmen sophomore center Will Kelly hit a jumper to tie the game at 2-2. Just over a minute later, Virginia sophomore center Mike Tobey hit a baseline jumper off a slick pass from senior guard Joe Harris to break the tie, and the Cavaliers would never look back.
