When Virginia men’s basketball bows out of the postseason, it usually goes out with a bang — elimination at the hands of a 16-seed, on a buzzer beater or in back-to-back overtimes against underdogs. This year, Coach Tony Bennett’s team went out with a whimper. Virginia’s season ended March 19 in Dayton, Ohio as Colorado State charged to a 67-42 win in the First Four of the NCAA Tournament. The Cavaliers continued their run of tournament failure since the 2019 National Championship — having either missed the tournament entirely or gotten eliminated in its first game — for the fourth year in a row.

Already 21 games into the 2024 season, Virginia baseball has racked up a significant sample size of contests to analyze. Having jumped out to a 9-0 start and then continuing to win big games, one might think that the No. 14 Cavaliers (17-4, 3-3 ACC) are in a great spot to make a run for both the ACC Championship and a return trip to Omaha, Neb. for the College Baseball World Series. While that might be the case, Virginia’s pitching woes will make those potential accomplishments a lot harder to come by.

7 Day Junior has opened a new location on West Main Street, replacing the Carytown Tobacco store which previously occupied the lot. The owners of the West Main Street Carytown Tobacco sold the location to 7 Day Junior earlier this month and, after a brief move-in period, the store is now open for business.

After barely making the NCAA Tournament as one of the penultimate seeds Sunday, Virginia (23-11, 13-7 ACC) had to round up the troops and head to Dayton, Ohio for their opening matchup Tuesday night against Colorado State (26-10, 10-8 MW) in the First Four. From the moment of tipoff, frayed offensive schemes and Colorado State’s unceasing guard play meant that the forecast remained dire the whole way for the Cavaliers — they fell 67- 42 in one of the least competitive games in Virginia’s recent tournament memory.

One word stood out when analysts Daniel Jeremiah and Peter Schrager discussed former Virginia wide receiver Malik Washington at the NFL Combine in early March — “fun.” Both NFL Network analysts described him as “fun to watch” during the wide receiver workouts of the NFL Draft. Although a short evaluation of the player, it is altogether accurate. Washington is a player that is always open, even when he is covered by multiple players. Washington beats the defender with his route-running ability, or Washington beats perfect coverage. Hoping for ample opportunities on a talented professional squad, there are a few likely landing spots.

In 2015, the United States Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights released an investigation, in which they found that the University failed to adequately prevent a sexually hostile environment or respond promptly to cases of sexual violence. This prompted the University to begin community-wide education regarding sexual violence with a mandatory education module. Since then, before students matriculate, they are required to complete a module designed to prevent sexual harassment and violence on Grounds. The requirement of the module laudably demonstrates the University’s desire to take serious steps towards preventing violence within our community.

UAs a part of its ongoing Judiciary Week, a week of programming that aims to increase student trust in the University Judiciary Committee, the Committee held its first ever public, hazing mock trial Monday. The mock trial was an attempt to increase transparency surrounding how UJC processes hazing cases. With the intent to both inform and entertain, the hypothetical student organization “Dumbledore’s Army” was found guilty of hazing and sanctioned by a UJC trial panel, putting the typically private UJC case process on full display.

As the typical mid- to late-semester buzz emanates through Grounds, it feels all but necessary to be focused on the here and now. However, it’s undoubtedly more fun to take a look at the people from the “here and back then” — the history of those from Virginia. The stories of all of our Virginia predecessors are important, but the most fascinating ones are of the famed. Take a deep dive with me into the histories of some famous Virginians.

As spring arrives on Grounds and students flock to the Lawn with picnic blankets, guitars and frisbees, graduate College student Santiago Pinto heads up the steps of the Rotunda carrying a less recognizable object — a Cyr wheel.

After a disjointed opening, No. 4 Virginia men's lacrosse (7-1, 0-0 ACC) emerged from halftime rejuvenated, dumping in nine third-quarter goals Tuesday at Klöckner Stadium and sailing to a 16-10 victory over Albany (2-5, 1-0 America East). The monstrous third quarter displayed all of Virginia’s trademark offensive power and cemented a pair of individual records.

After a disappointing series loss to open ACC play against unranked Miami last weekend, No. 14 Virginia baseball bounced back to win two out of three games against No. 7 Wake Forest at Disharoon Park this weekend. The Cavaliers (16-4, 3-3 ACC) took the series opener and walked off their third match over the Demon Deacons (13-6, 2-4 ACC), though they dropped Saturday’s contest 9-3. Despite the net positive outcome, Virginia yielded 29 runs to Wake Forest — proof of both a highly resilient offense and pitchers still seeking answers on the mound.

This month, students have begun to find themselves entrenched in the spirit of spring on Grounds, whether it is an afternoon spent throwing a football on the Lawn or simply enjoying the flowers newly sprouting from trees. For sports fans across the globe, however, the new colors and warm temperatures mean another equally bright and enthralling event — MLB Opening Day. This prospect is especially exciting for fans of Virginia baseball — Cavalier alums from the past decade are fighting far and wide to prove to their respective organizations that they are capable of either remaining in or climbing to the heights of the big leagues.

As the weather warms up and the cloudless sky becomes a more permanent fixture over the Rotunda, it is safe to assume that students will be spending more time outside. Whether doing work in a garden, laying out on the Lawn with friends or — perhaps most pertinent to the theme of this playlist — spending their Sundays at the farmers’ market, these songs provide the perfect soundtrack to underscore the sweetness of endless days in the warm spring sun.

As Grounds warms up and all the trees you forgot about over the winter suddenly start blooming, pollen won’t be the only allergen swarming the Rotunda — it’s time to add crowds of disgruntled high schoolers to the mix. Now that Grounds no longer resembles a Neoclassical version of District 12 from “The Hunger Games,” every academically beaten-down junior in high school is being dragged to the University by their parents.

Virginia marched into College Park Saturday and defeated Maryland 14-10, ending the Terrapins’ (5-2, 0-0 Big Ten) three-game winning streak against the Cavaliers (6-1, 0-0 ACC) in the decades-old rivalry and avenging last season’s crushing overtime loss. Coach Lars Tiffany’s comments postgame captured the energy and hustle that both teams brought with them Saturday.

Valentina Mendoza Gonzalez, incoming Student Council president and third-year Batten student, plans to improve the student body’s engagement with the Student Council by making its services more accessible and rebuilding relationships with underrepresented Contracted Independent Organizations during her term. In an entrance interview with The Cavalier Daily, she stated her intent to pay student leaders and said she aims to ensure that Support and Access Services — a Student Council branch providing a range of legal, financial and academic support resources — is accessible for all University students by providing more inclusive products.
