Friars prey on low Cavalier morale late

By Becky Piedel | February 3, 2005

PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- When Donnie McGrath saw a hole, he pounced. The junior guard peeped nine in Virginia's zone defense last night, and he made the Cavaliers pay for every one. McGrath scored 27 points on nine for nine shooting from beyond the arc to lead his Providence Friars past Virginia, 98-79, at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence. "Shooting nine for nine is tough to do when no one's in the gym," Virginia coach Pete Gillen said. McGrath had Virginia's zone defense to thank for his performance, which tied an NCAA record for three-point percentage in a game. "I think we attacked the zone pretty well," McGrath said.

Cavaliers benefit from senior's increased output

By Adrian Vigil | February 2, 2005

The Virginia women's basketball team has been full of surprises this year. Whether it has been the play of Virginia's talented freshmen or the team's turnaround from last year's disappointing record, this team has been anything but ordinary. The biggest surprise for the Cavaliers this year, however, could be the emergence of senior Jocelyn Logan-Friend.

Frustrated freshman teaches lesson in heart

By Joey Mancini | February 2, 2005

Virginia freshman Sean Singletary sat in a leather chair in the team lounge surrounded with tape recorders and television cameras following Saturday's 110-76 drubbing at the hands of North Carolina. He had some words for his teammates. "The coaches are telling us what to do," Singletary said.

Gillen could learn a lot from Groh

By Becky Piedel | January 31, 2005

Pete Gillen is no Al Groh. Comparing them is like comparing bananas and blueberries -- it just isn't plausible. But after what unfolded in Virginia's 110-76 loss at home to North Carolina Saturday afternoon, Gillen ought to borrow a page out of Groh's playbook -- the one that says stop babying your supposed superstars and make them earn their spots in the starting lineup. After the Virginia football team fell 36-3 at Florida State in October, Groh declared open competition for all defensive spots.
