Women

By Cayce Troxel | November 19, 2008

Advancing to the NCAA Championships in cross country is quite an accomplishment, earning an automatic berth is even more impressive, but having both men?s and women?s teams automatically qualify for nationals falls into the realm of the remarkable.The Virginia women?s cross country team?s first-place finish at last Saturday?s NCAA Southeast Regionals, coupled with the Cavalier men?s runner-up team performance, marks just the third time in program history that both squads have advanced to nationals and the first time both have made it on automatic bids.?I think it?s a huge step,? senior Andrew Jesien said.

Mr. Rodgers

By JP Stroman | November 19, 2008

Lost in the shuffle of Kurt Warner?s resurrection, the Tennessee Titans? out-of-nowhere undefeated record and the Detroit Lions forgetting how to win a game, is, in my opinion, the feel-good story of the year.

Lengthening 3-point arc forces players to adjust

By Paul Montana | November 18, 2008

As the 2008-09 men?s basketball campaign gets underway, there is one question that coaches, players, fans and media alike are trying to answer: What is the effect of the new 3-point line?The rule change to move the line back was passed in the spring of 2007 to take effect starting this season; the line now sits 20 feet, 9 inches from the basket, one foot further than the previous line of 19 feet, 9 inches.With the three-ball turning into a short jump shot in recent years as big men expanded their games to the perimeter and as players became more athletic and versatile on the whole, basketball has clearly become a perimeter-based game; in 1986-87, Division I games averaged 9.1 3-point attempts per game, an number that has climbed steadily to an all-time high of 19.07 3-point attempts per game last season.
