Virginia seeks win in uncertain ACC

By Aaron Bernstein | February 11, 2010

The No. 21 Virginia women's basketball team will look for a bit of breathing room in the tightly-packed ACC when it travels to Coral Gables to take on conference foe Miami tonight. Even though the Cavaliers (17-6, 6-3 ACC) have not lost to the Hurricanes (16-7, 3-5 ACC) since 2005 and own the all-time series record 6-1, this is no guarantee that Virginia will walk away with a win.

When William McGarvey Dudley died a week ago today at the age of 88, few students blinked an eye. Heck, it took nearly a week for this newspaper to run a story about him. But if there's any community who should mourn the passing of "Bullet" Bill Dudley, it is the University community. Dudley was an all-star in numerous areas.

Two goals, one puck

By Matt Welsh | February 10, 2010

Let's get one thing straight before I get called a spineless, syrup-sucking ne'er-do-well because I'm writing a column about a sport other than Virginia men's basketball - I'm just as ecstatic as the next 'Hoo about the Cavaliers' unexpected ascent up the ACC ladder, but the way I see it, I'm actually doing Will Sherrill & Co. a big favor in the karma department.

Weather delays men

By Andrew Seidman | February 10, 2010

The men's basketball game originally scheduled against the Terrapins tonight at the Comcast Center in College Park, Md., has been postponed to Monday because of inclement weather conditions. The University of Maryland's campus has been closed since Friday as a result of last weekend's winter storm. Though the Terrapins played against North Carolina at home last Sunday, the anticipated foot of snow tonight in the Washington, D.C., area would make it "impossible" to clear the roads and parking lots in time for the game tonight, according to University officials. Before heading to College Park next Monday, Virginia will take on in-state rival Virginia Tech in Blacksburg Saturday. -compiled by Andrew Seidman

Virginia hosts Deacons Saturday in rematch of January loss

By Stacy Kruczkowski | February 5, 2010

Aiming to avenge a one-sided Jan. 23 defeat in Winston-Salem, the Virginia men's basketball team plays host to Wake Forest tomorrow at the John Paul Jones Arena.

Sophomore guard Sylven Landesberg outscored the rest of Virginia's starting five in the contest, contributing 18 of the starters' 32 points.
