"Hack-a-Elton" works like poetry for maryland

At the end of Saturday's double overtime loss to Maryland, the stat sheet pretty much said it all. There really weren't many numbers that stuck out -- Virginia had just 13 turnovers, rebounded well, and held the Terps to under 40 percent shooting in the game.

Forbes ignites Virginia

After last Wednesday's game against North Carolina, it was the same story just a different month for Virginia coach Pete Gillen and the Cavaliers as their new offense was dramatically shut down by a highly talented Tarheel squad. However, Virginia fans have reason to remain hopeful as the Cavs have shown some signs of life, evidenced by the play of sophomore guard Gary Forbes, who scored in double figures for the second consecutive game. Although Forbes has provided a crucial spark for the Cavaliers the past two games, one has to wonder how long the team can stay afloat with a shooting stroke that has been less then consistent throughout the year.

Confessions of a baseball convert

Fine, I'll admit it. Baseball matters. It took a spring and summer of live games at Davenport field last year, as well as a miraculous comeback in October by the Red Sox, but I'm now convinced that baseball does matter. I'm certainly the most reluctant of baseball converts, largely because of my frustrating childhood exposure to "America's game." Like most boys' parents in eastern North Carolina, my parents signed me up for tee-ball as a child.

Cavs look in mirror to revitalize effort

It is probably one of the biggest locker-room clichés in all of sports -- players looking within and figuring out how to win. It may be a cliché, but it worked last week for the Virginia women's basketball team.
