Newcomers must step up for Cavs

By Ben Gibson | November 8, 2006

If the Virginia women's basketball team is going to make it back to the NCAA Tournament after a one-year hiatus, they will have to take full advantage of their stellar newcomers. The Cavaliers were dealt a severe blow early this season when it was announced junior center Aisha Mohammad would have to sit out the entire year with a knee injury. The 6-foot, 3-inch center averaged 22 points and 11 rebounds last year at Central Arizona College, which went an incredible 28-0. With Mohammad out, the Virginia frontcourt will be very thin.

Cavaliers earn first bid to NCAA Tournament since 2001 season

By Zach Rowen | November 8, 2006

After hanging in limbo for the past four days, the Cavaliers heard the news they wanted last night as they received a bid to the NCAA Tournament.

After three mediocre seasons, coach Michelle Madison came in, and in her first year, turned around a program that was struggling to establish itself in the ACC. "I think it's a credit to the entire coaching staff and the team," Madison said.

CSAA: corporate sponsor addicts anon.

By Kyle O'Connor | November 7, 2006

Hello, my name is Kyle and I'm a sponsorship addict. Believe me, I'm not happy about it. In fact, I'm madder than George Gelnovatch at the ACC Tournament (and that's just about the maddest human being I could think of). I've tried everything to get my life back: the patch, the gum, the pill and the support groups, but so far, no dice. Let me take you back a couple months to when this whole mess began.
