At first glance Kyle and Danny Artusio do look identical. But take a closer look -- or a glimpse at Virginia's media guide.
Despite falling to Minnesota in the final minute of the championship game of the Paradise Jam Saturday, the women's basketball season has soared out of the gate. The team competed in the annual tournament in the Virgin Islands during Thanksgiving Break, compiling a 1-1 record while there. Virginia's current record stands at 3-1, as the team downed George Washington to open the season and Wright State in its home opener before heading to the Caribbean.
The second half of Virginia's 72-57 win over Northwestern (3-3) belonged to point guard Sean Singletary.
Tony Bennett left his heart in San Francisco. Maybe some lucky Virginia football fan making the trek out there for the Emerald Bowl will be able to find it and replace it with the one the Cavaliers broke this season. The Cavaliers finished second in the ACC in the 2002 football season with a 6-2 record.

At the ripe age of 32, former Virginia men's soccer star Claudio Reyna already has accumulated accomplishments and honors that even he never imagined possible. "Who would have believed that I would have had this many appearances?" Reyna said.
While Virginia's 72-57 victory over Northwestern Wednesday night should not send Virginia fans running to buy tickets for the Final Four, it was just the type of victory that a rebuilding program such as Virginia needs in order to maintain momentum on the long road to excellence.

Losing a game 5-0 in a single-elimination tournament is certainly not the way any team wants to end its season.
This week-long Thanksgiving Break has really thrown me off my groove. Coming back to school after a very relaxing break, my body and mind are telling me that it's time for a new semester, not exams
The Virginia men's basketball team (2-1) looks to rebound after a tough loss to No. 9 Arizona Sunday night when it hosts Northwestern tonight as part of the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The month of November is when a college football team looks within and reveals its true colors. Thanksgiving time marks the end of a long season for the fans and an even longer one for the players and coaches -- what seemingly starts in August really begins in January if you pay attention to the action behind the scenes. Off-season weights and conditioning, rehabbing from injuries, staying fresh with spring practice and learning the playbook for the upcoming season are all things that do not make the front page between the New Year and the dog days of summer. But whether you watch from the stands or call in plays from the sidelines, the regular season culminates in November.
The United States ended first round play at the 1998 World Cup horribly, losing all three matches in Group F play against Iran, Yugoslavia and Germany. As a result, then-D.C.
We are only a couple of games into the Dave Leitao era, but already there is an entirely different attitude around the Virginia basketball program. It is not the fact that the Cavaliers won their first two games or that Leitao wears his passion for basketball on his sleeve.
The intriguing choices in the Virginia sports world this week reminded me of the dishes that fill a home-cooked Thanksgiving dinner.
MIAMI, Fla. -- Virginia came calling to south Florida Saturday, but thanks to a 25-17 loss at the hands of Miami, south Florida, or anyplace in Florida, likely won't come calling on the Cavaliers with a bowl invite this holiday season. In what turned out to be an evenly-matched contest, Miami (9-2, 6-2 ACC) came through when it needed to behind a stout defense and a sufficient offense, and for the second straight week Virginia lost to a top-10 opponent.
RICHMOND -- It may not have been pretty, but the scoreboard does not keep track of style points. After holding a narrow 26-25 lead at halftime, Virginia pulled away in the final 20 minutes to emerge with a 59-43 victory over the University of Richmond last Tuesday evening (Nov.
Saturday night at Memorial Gymnasium, the season came to a bittersweet end for the Virginia volleyball team. Down two games to one as the evening match stretched into the night, the Cavaliers found themselves tied with the Yellow Jackets at 28 -- two points away from forcing a deciding fifth game. The atmosphere was tense, to say the least.
