Latest news and updates about the Virginia
In Tuesday night’s ACC Action, Virginia nipped Wake Forest, 75-70, UNC survived Clemson, 67-63, Virginia Tech thumped BC, 72-63, and Louisville handled Syracuse, 77-62. We honestly didn’t think that Wake Forest could keep up with Virginia in this one. First, UVA has vastly more size than Wake, and second, the Cavaliers were bound to be […]

The Deacs had a shot at this one. Despite being on the road against the #13 team in the country, Wake never let this one get away and had their chances down the stretch to tie the game. It was a valiant effort, but, in the end, the Deacs just never could get a stop […]

No change in the top three, as Duke, Arizona, and Michigan had dominant 2-0 weeks where they beat strong competition. The Blue Devils rolled past Virginia, the Wildcats clobbered Kansas, and the Wolverines romped past Illinois 84-70 on the road. Below them, UConn and Florida impressed in the battle for the fourth 1-seed, with the […]

Outside the top 75 of KenPom, Risk to Miss the ACCT 18. Georgia Tech (Prev: 18, 2-14): The Yellow Jackets lost their 10th straight ACC game, this time in Atlanta vs. FSU. They have also lost 13 of 14 with that inexplicable win over NC State in Raleigh in there. As the only 2-win team […]

We thought Virginia was better than that. Whatever else we might have thought, we never thought that Duke would have a 28-point lead on a good Virginia team. And winning 77-51? Not what we expected – not at all. But that’s what happened as Duke wrapped up the #1 seed for the ACC Tournament. And […]

In Tuesday’s ACC Action, Miami beat Florida State, 83-73, and Virginia just walloped NC State again, this time, 90-61, which was a lot worse than the loss in Raleigh on January 3rd. Virginia won that time, 76-61, after State cut into a massive lead late. No such luck this time. Virginia just crushed State. The […]

The 2025-26 women’s college basketball season will NOT smoothly slide into March.

Here’s how Clemson, Virginia and No. 13 Iowa earned upsets over No. 9 Duke, No. 8 Louisville […]

In Wednesday’s ACC Action, Virginia clocked Georgia Tech, 94-68, and Wake Forest surprised Clemson, 85-77. Wake Forest basically dominated the entire game. A week or two ago, who would have expected that? Well, here’s something you may have missed – Clemson has lost three straight, to Virginia Tech, Duke and now Wake Forest. And all […]

Make those dinner reservations a couple of hours earlier this year, because the ‘Hoos tipoff against the Ohio State Buckeyes at 8:00 p.m. in Nashville in a non-conference yet colossal-sized basketball game on Valentine’s Day. We are getting closer and closer to Selection Sunday, and this neutral-site affair in Music City is consequential for more […]

In Tuesday’s ACC Action, Virginia nipped Florida State 61-58, SMU survived Notre Dame 89-84, and Miami took care of UNC, 75-66. Apparently one good court storming deserves another, but in Miami, no one got hit in the face. We’d guess that UNC had a tough time matching the emotion we saw in Saturday’s dramatic upset […]

The story coming out of Saturday’s loss to Virginia should be that Syracuse has lost 6 of 7 games and completely fallen out of any chance to make the NCAA Tournament during this tretch. It’s clear we are heading towards a coaching change in March, but the disappointment has fans going off the rails. Instaed […]

Last Saturday, the UNC men’s basketball team picked up arguably their biggest win over the season so far, as they rallied past Virginia on the road. In addition to just being able to put a road win over a good team on their résumé, it was also a big win to try and get them […]

We’re in the midst of the loaded late-January women’s college basketball calendar, where the depths of conference play, combined with some deep cold, can lead to some chaotic outcomes. Thursday night, that was epitomized by the triple-overtime affair between unranked ACC foes Virginia and Wake Forest, with the Cavaliers prevailing 109-103 after 55 minutes. Virginia […]

Things have been bad for Micah Shrewsberry and the Notre Dame Men’s Basketball team in ACC play, so it’s pretty disheartening for them to go out and play well against the #17 ranked Virginia Cavaliers, only to let it slip away in a double overtime game, 100-97. Irish Lay It All Out There, But Fall […]

In Tuesday’s ACC Action, Wake Forest travels to Pitt, Virginia goes to Notre Dame, Syracuse heads down to Raleigh and the Techs play in Cassell. Interesting! Wake and Pitt is a game that Wake should win. Pitt is just not very good and in a close game, is an awful free throw shooting team. The […]

To say it’s been an up-and-down year for Jarin Stevenson is putting it lightly. During the course of the season he’s been all over the lineup, starting at some points and coming off the bench the last few games. In fact, he hasn’t just come off the bench — he’s been the second big off […]

UNC picked up a big 85-80 road win against 14th ranked Virginia on Saturday with a big second half rally after a slow first half. Carolina actually started the game much better than Virginia before the tables turned and UVA got hot. The Tar Heels trailed by 16 points with less than two minutes to […]

We are just moments away from one of UNC’s most important games of the season that just happens to be against one of their oldest rivals. No. 14 Virginia has been one of the better teams in the ACC this season, and the Heels have to find a way to beat them in Charlottesville in […]

For years, Virginia basketball has been a tough test for North Carolina. The style of basketball they played under Tony Bennett basically directly opposed the style that UNC played under Roy Williams and then Hubert Davis. While the Tar Heels have won their fair share of games against the Cavaliers, the slow pace and stodgy […]

After an all-conference season at San Francisco, Malik Thomas transferred to Virginia with similar expectations on head coach Ryan Odom’s brand new roster. In non-conference play, Thomas’ numbers were not quite at that level — averaging 11.1 points, 1.8 assists, and 3.2 rebounds per game. In the six ACC games since, those numbers have spiked […]
