Talking the talk and walking the walk

By Jeremy Root | January 30, 2007

I can't get the thought out of my head. Gilbert Arenas tearing it up against the Blue Devils as a helpless Mike Krzyzewski pleads/whines to officials for more fouls to be called. While this dream has zippy chance of being fulfilled, Arenas' selection as a starter for the Eastern Conference All-Star team last week solidified what is becoming quite the special season for the budding superstar and my Washington Wizards. Ever since this past summer, when Arenas was left off the Team USA roster, the 6-foot-4, 210-pound point guard has been on a tear and has directed much of his motivation towards the coaches of the U.S.

By Ben Gibson | January 29, 2007

The Virginia women's basketball team entered this week with aspirations of cementing their place in the ACC. Unfortunately, after four straight losses, that place may be in the cellar. The Seminoles added to the Cavalier misery Sunday afternoon as Florida State handed Virginia a demoralizing 63-47 loss to move the Cavaliers to 12-9, 2-5 in the ACC.

Following last weekend's intense Atlantic Coast Conference match-ups, the Virginia men's and women's swimming and diveing team will face the Big East's Pittsburgh Panthers Sunday afternoon. For the past 20 to 30 years, the Panthers have been the number one or two team in the Big East, and historically, Pittsburgh has been ranked among the top 25 nationally.

By Campbell Grant | January 26, 2007

After shutting out William and Mary 7-0 Wednesday, the Virginia men's tennis team will get a much tougher challenge this weekend when they face off against two ranked opponents. Notre Dame will get the first shot at the Cavaliers tonight, coming to Charlottesville ranked 13th and hoping to upset the No.

Role-Reversal in AFC
