Through the other teams' eyes

March 20, 2014

This season is the first time in 21 years the Chanticleers have earned an NCAA Tournament bid, as coach Cliff Ellis — who spent 10 years as the coach of both Clemson and Auburn — became just the 10th coach to lead four different Division I programs to the NCAA Tournament. No recent Coastal Carolina team has played with as much chemistry as the 2013-14 Chanticleers, and the team becomes very dangerous when players communicate and make smart passes.

Virginia seeks strong end to season at NCAAs

By Robert Elder | March 19, 2014

This season, the Virginia women’s swim and dive team has been one to remember. Under first year coach Augie Busch, the Cavaliers not only won their seventh consecutive ACC title, but also shattered the record books in the process. Now, the long season which began with its first meet in October has one more stop for No. 7 Virginia — Minneapolis, Minn., for the NCAA women’s swimming and diving championships.

Coach Tony Bennett and his first-seeded Cavaliers are surely all in as they play for a national championship. Virginia fans shouldn’t hedge their bets, either, writes columnist Fritz Metzinger.

Cut the Hedges

By Fritz Metzinger | March 18, 2014

On Monday, Virginia alumnus Ian Cohen wrote a story for Grantland entitled “In Praise of Virginia: The Mediocre, Miraculous No. 1 Seed.” With respect to Mr. Cohen, I disliked the article.

The No. 6 Cavaliers have four losses against top-10 teams. Keeshan, who led Virginia with 18 caused turnovers last year, is fifth on the team with 15 points.
