Brown among few bright spots in Cav slide

By J.D. Moss | February 25, 2003

It's tough to find positives in any losing streak, especially the current four-game Virginia skid. But one could point to the emergence of sophomore forward Elton Brown on the glass and defensive end as an encouraging sign for both the remainder of this season and the future of Virginia basketball. The 6-foot-10, 270-pounder has been an offensive force throughout the season, averaging 10.3 points this season and 11.8 in ACC play.

In heartbreaker, Cavs narrowly lose to Deacons

By J.D. Moss | February 24, 2003

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Tenth-ranked Wake Forest (19-4, 9-3 ACC) rallied back from an eight-point, second-half deficit and used a prayer from freshman point guard Justin Gray to hold on against Virginia (14-11, 5-8), 75-71. With one minute and 44 seconds left and the score tied at 68, the Deacons came out of a timeout with only three seconds remaining on the shot clock. Gray took the inbounds pass and heaved up a shot from the left wing that miraculously banked in, giving Wake Forest a 71-68 edge. "I knew we only had three ticks to get a shot, but I guess that's why you pray at night," Gray said.
