As the ESPN showcase at John Paul Jones Arena became more of a defensive clinic than an evenhanded dual during the first half Saturday night, it was easy to forget that the opposition is a top-10 program.
I usually don’t go searching for moral victories when my team suffers a loss, as No. Virginia did last night.
There are lies, damned lies, and then there are statistics. And when it comes to Virginia basketball, traditional statistics horribly misrepresent the team’s actual performance. Just turn to the Cavaliers’ home page on ESPN. Prominently featured are a selection of four commonly cited stats: points per game, rebounds per game, assists per game, and field goal percentage.
It’s in every news story with each addiot Virginia men’s basketball team win: “The unbeaten Cavaliers are off to their best start since the 1980-81 season when they started 23-0.” Let me do the math for you: 1981 was 34 years ago.

As Landon Donovan prepares to play his last MLS game, I’d like to take a second to relive and thank him for the “Oh My Gosh! That Was Amazing!” moments I was fortunate enough to see during his 15-year career.

The Major League Soccer playoffs began Oct. 29. If you’re sad you missed it, then cheer up, because you’ve still got a month left to catch these exciting games, including a pair of conference final games this upcoming Sunday. Still not convinced? Let me try to persuade you.
America loves to hate winners. The teams who make you scowl just to think about with their sickeningly sweet appearances, fair-weather fans, and ubiquitous worldwide pomp.
It has been more than two years since Bayside High rising senior Taquan “Smoke” Mizzell committed to Virginia over North Carolina and West Virginia, affirming the Cavaliers’ considerable influence in Southeastern Virginia’s Hampton Roads region.
In nearly every circumstance, the early-recruiting process that exists in basketball hurts recruits such as Boatright, Peebles and Kelly by removing them from the nationwide recruiting process.
Can Virginia pull off the upset? If it plays anything like it did in 1995, the Seminoles had better watch out.
With Saturday’s head-scratching loss to North Carolina, the Virginia football team fell to 4-4 on the year. Our team this year is obviously much better than last year’s edition, but the Cavaliers still have several enormous flaws which could keep them from reaching bowl eligibility.
