Cavaliers suffer separation anxiety away from U-Hall

COLLEGE PARK, Md.-When a team goes 7-1 in the conference at home but drops six of eight on the road, the numbers don't lie.

A message for fanatical Wahoos:

A long, long time ago, I can still remember..." the days when the midrange jump shot still existed, when the forkball was so en vogue that every toddler was throwing it through a tire in the backyard, when "Who Let the Dogs Out" was only a nightmare we hoped would never consummate and when vinyl 44s of John Fogerty's "Put Me in Coach" still spun at sporting events. Those days are long, long gone.

Cavaliers share the wealth to conquer Carolina's two-man show

Yesterday, in its decisive 86-66 victory over No. 2 North Carolina, the Virginia men's basketball team proved that, at least on a basketball court, no man can stand alone. As the game's plot unraveled, it was clear that two very different teams were vying for the win. The Tar Heel hopes lay on the backs of national standouts Joseph Forte and Brendan Haywood, who combined for a whopping 48 of the team's 66 points. Virginia, on the other hand, garnered double-digit efforts from all five starters. Easy math as it is, the deciding factor of the game is easily identified. "We try to share the ball, and we don't have one star," Virginia coach Pete Gillen explained.
