WILLIAMSBURG, Va. - Between the freezing cold in Williamsburg and the awesome heat being thrown by William & Mary ace pitcher Whitt Farr, the Cavaliers had plenty to overcome on their way to a 5-3 victory last night. Virginia went scoreless for the first two innings, and the Tribe, who have been averaging over seven runs a game, also struggled, driving in one run in each of the first two innings. Virginia designated hitter Robert Word recognized the effect the weather had on both teams. "It was really hard to get into it and stay focused out there today," Word said.
By now, everyone knows that the Dukies are riding into town to close out a trying home season for the Virginia men's basketball team tonight. Hooville finally will live up to the hype, causing empty seats to be as hard to find as Keith Jenifer's three-point game. But never fear, Cavaliers.

A matchup between two ACC powerhouses - at least that was the original plan. But much can change in a year.

Everyone knows the Roger Mason Jr. that can hit the 23-footer with a hand in his face. They know the player that hits 90 percent of his free throws every time he toes the line.
Pull this one out of the oven, baby. It's done. Dead in the water. Wrapped up. Destroyed. Finito. Flashback to late November.
"If I had a nickel for every time I told them that free throws win games I would be a very, very, very wealthy man," Virginia head coach Pete Gillen said after his team dropped a heartbreaking 82-80 decision to Georgia Tech on Saturday. The Cavaliers might want to consider digging in their pockets and giving Gillen his five cents.
