ACC baseball teams look to contend for NCAA title

By Zack Fried | February 16, 2000

Most people know the ACC boasts powerhouse programs in football, basketball and even soccer. ACC fans should not forget about baseball, though. Baseball America ranks four Conference teams in the Top 25 - Florida State (1), Georgia Tech (8), Clemson (19) and North Carolina (20) - proving the ACC is one of the nation's most challenging conferences. "The ACC is gonna be a difficult league this year," Tar Heel Coach Mike Fox said.

Cavaliers declaw Tigers, win 76-62

By Jim Reedy | February 16, 2000

This, evidently, is what 10-on-1 basketball looks like. Clemson had Will Solomon, the ACC's leading scorer, but Virginia's overwhelming depth was more than enough for a comfortable 76-62 win last night at University Hall. Third-year floor general Donald Hand poured in 21 points to lead four Cavs in double figures, while swingman Adam Hall smothered Solomon, limiting the sophomore guard to 13 largely meaningless points. "That was the best defense we've played in a long time," Cavalier Coach Pete Gillen said.

"I really thought like we broke these guys," Cav Coach Lenny Bernstein said.

Virginia (15-8, 5-5 ACC) knew it would have to deal with the inside brawn of Yellow Jacket twin towers Alvin Jones and Jason Collier.

Professional athletes: Guilty until proven innocent?

By Jed Williams | February 10, 2000

Sports columnists are a jealous bunch - myself included. Not lithe enough to tiptoe a sideline, not explosive enough to dunk a basketball, not buff enough to bench press Muggsy Bogues, we instead spend our precious days and nights stabbing our sardonic pens right through the backs of the athletes we always revered but never were good enough to become. Rarely does a sports journalist turn defense attorney, but that's exactly what I'm prepared to do.

Following a tough loss to a down-and-out North Carolina team Monday, the Cavalier women's basketball squad hopes to get back into the win column tonight at home against Florida State. The Seminoles (9-12, 2-8 ACC) may appear to be an easy target, but they threw a scare into N.C.
