As I, Virginia fan No. 655,321, sat on my couch and watched the Cavalier men's basketball team struggle to catch up to Florida State Saturday afternoon, a knot began forming in the pit of my stomach.
In years gone by, Roger Mason's three-point dagger to seal a precious, if unspectacular, road triumph at Florida State likely would have spawned one of the following bow-tied, beer-swilling Cavalier responses: "Hooray for us ... So, does Chi Phi have something tonight?" Or, "Yay, we won ... Did Clemons extend its hours of operation to accommodate students who wished to partake of a little Saturday afternoon basketball over cell biology?" Or perhaps, "Is Roger Mason that cute red-headed Hullabahoo you were giving the eye at our semi-formal last weekend?" Now Virginia zealots sing a different tune - one with a melody that was distinctly audible the second Mason's bomb detonated in the bottom of the net: "Let's go tenting." Tenting?

It was perfectly fitting for the Virginia women's basketball team that sophomore center Schuye LaRue had one of her best games of the season and carried the Cavaliers on the same night that she scored the 1,000th point of her career. LaRue scored a career-high 33 points on 15-for-21 shooting and grabbed 18 rebounds as Virginia escaped with a victory against Hampton last night at University Hall. "Schuye had a great game, and if it weren't for her in the first half, I don't know where we would have been," Virginia coach Debbie Ryan said. LaRue, who now has 1,005 career points, became the 18th Cavalier to surpass the 1,000-point barrier.
You could call last night's game exciting. You could call it nerve-wracking. The Virginia women's basketball team would call it too close for comfort. The Cavaliers (17-11, 7-7 ACC) eked out a 75-72 victory against a surprisingly tough Hampton squad last night at University Hall.

The Cavaliers won both games of Saturday's doubleheader with Navy as well.
