Dealing with a truly mad March

By J.D. Moss | March 24, 2005

March Madness has reached the Sweet Sixteen, so that means one thing for most people's brackets: They're busted. By this point, we're left rooting for all underdogs because we have no chance of winning our bracket while a girl who did not watch a single game all year is winning after making her picks based on mascots.

A serious pick... and I'm not talking Vermont

By Bart Isley | March 23, 2005

If this column seems at all disjointed, let's just pretend I'm recovering from a blindside pick by Janel McCarville. Like many other sports fans, I watched a sick amount of college basketball this weekend, and several things stuck out to me besides McCarville's pick on Latonya Blue -- which I'll discuss last, in an attempt to give my column some chronological structure, as it occurred Thursday night. The first major shocker of the week had to be Vermont's win over Syracuse Friday night, particularly for those of us who had the Orange in their Final Four.

By Matt Boucher | March 23, 2005

In the Virginia baseball locker room, the saying goes that every series ends with "Championship Sunday," a motto that aims to keep players focused on finishing every three-game stand like the season is on the line. Judging by the Cavaliers' recent performance, it appears the players have taken that slogan to heart.

Five Virginia seniors worthy of praise

By Adrian Vigil | March 22, 2005

MINNEAPOLIS A few weeks ago, there was a lot of hoopla about the men's basketball senior class, but not a single word was uttered about the seniors on the women's basketball team who were able to lead their team to the postseason. No one talked about the five seniors who vindicated themselves for being part of the first Cavalier team to miss the tournament last year since 1983.
