Cavaliers jump to top of ACC with victory

By Barney Breen-Portnoy | February 5, 2007

Only 48 hours after recording one of the most significant victories in the recent history of the men's basketball program, Virginia avoided a letdown on Saturday evening as the Cavaliers beat Miami 81-70. "In winning the game today, the most satisfactory part of it was how mature we could be off of a very emotional night on Thursday with only a day to prepare," Virginia coach Dave Leitao said.

Red Sox Nation: Don't ask me why

By Kevin Zdancewicz | February 1, 2007

I am a Red Sox fan. (Yankees fans, feel free to continue reading. I won't make any slights after this one: In 2004, your team blew a 3-0 series ALCS lead on Boston, who has won a World Series title more recently than New York.) Whenever I tell people I am a Red Sox fan, they immediately ask why.

Sophomore Littles rises to occasion to lead Cavaliers

By Ben Gibson | January 31, 2007

Sophomore Lyndra Littles knew this off-season that Virginia's success would depend on her ability to improve her game after a promising freshman season. While most college students were enjoying summer break, Littles was in the gym working on conditioning and improving her shaky free throw numbers. Her role on the team would become even bigger when Virginia's top recruit, junior college transfer Aisha Mohammed, was declared out for the season after tearing her ACL weeks prior to the season opener against Rhode Island. "We have to help each other out," Littles said. Littles had to rise to the challenge, and she did so in a big way. The results are undeniable.
