Wake Forest hands Virginia eighth conference defeat

After suffering a 31-point blowout to Clemson Thursday, the Virginia men's basketball team's sluggish play continued in the opening minutes against Wake Forest Saturday, as the Demon Deacons dominated early and never gave up the lead, handing the Cavaliers an 80-64 loss.

Track and Field sets school, season and personal records

The Virginia men's and women's indoor track and field teams had a productive trip to New York City this weekend, as 14 Cavaliers placed seventh or better in their respective events at the Armory Collegiate Invitational. Notable performances came from senior Kara Scanlin, who won the women's 3000-meter with a personal best time of 9:44.85, and senior Billie Jo Grant, who won the shot put event while setting a new Virginia women's indoor track and field shot put record with a 16.14-meter toss.

Cavs drop another to Clemson

The Cavaliers' nightmarish season thus far just went from bad to worse. From the time Virginia lost its 6-2 lead early in the first half to visiting Clemson, the Cavaliers showed no signs of life as the Tigers earned their largest margin of victory ever in an ACC road game, defeating Virginia 82-51. Whether it was in the paint, on the perimeter or anywhere in between, the Cavaliers had no answer for Clemson's offense all night.

That's what he said

It finally happened. After losing game after game by the smallest of margins, the Cavaliers finally broke. In most of Virginia's losses, there have been bright spots.
