Frustrating loss should not tarnish Virginia's accomplishments

By Jeremy Williams | February 1, 2002

Frustration. That is the only word to describe Virginia's last minute loss to Maryland. Frustrating for the players, frustrating for the fans, frustrating for everyone involved with Virginia. That being said, the Cavaliers' 91-87 loss to the Terrapins was one hell of a ball game.

Cavaliers falter against Maryland

By Jonathan Evans | February 1, 2002

Virginia learned a tough lesson last night at University Hall and junior guard Roger Mason Jr. put it best: "The game is never secure until the buzzer goes off." The Cavaliers (14-4, 4-4 ACC) simply could not close the deal against Maryland (16-3, 7-1 ACC). Virginia, up by nine with three minutes, 14 seconds to go, wound up on the wrong end of a 13-2 run and fell to the Terrapins, 91-87. "If you told me before the game that we'd be up nine with 3:14, I'd be thrilled," said a not-so-thrilled Virginia coach Pete Gillen. In a hotly contested back-and-forth game, Virginia had the largest lead of the night with only minutes left on the clock. "We just killed ourselves," freshman guard Jermaine Harper said. "The bottom line is we probably thought the game was over," Mason said.

Each of these measures has garnered strong support in the legislature, though some details of the bill have generated conflict between the Republican Attorney General and the Virginia State Senate.
