By Kyle O'Connor | February 23, 2005

"When I chose to play at Virginia, the paper in my hometown ran an article that basically said I was crazy for choosing lacrosse," Barrow said.

Forbes ignites Virginia

By Mike Speight | February 18, 2005

Although Forbes has provided a crucial spark for the Cavaliers the past two games, one has to wonder how long the team can stay afloat with a shooting stroke that has been less then consistent throughout the year.
