An intense, rejuvenated Virginia women's basketball squad came out to face fourth-ranked Duke, held their lead for the first 13 minutes and left it all out on the court last night. Unfortunately for the Cavaliers, that just wasn't enough. Virginia's starting five combined for all but six of the team's total points, drained nine three-pointers and made Duke, the defending ACC champion, look a little less invincible.

When they learned the University hired Al Groh to replace George Welsh as coach of the Virginia football team, the Cavalier players' reactions ranged from "somewhat surprised" to "shocked."

"We just aren't playing consistently within a game now," Coach Ryan said.
Even 27 points from sophomore forward Schuye LaRue were not enough to save the Cavalier women's basketball team from defeat at the hands of No.
I used to watch the 1989 New York Giants' defense brutalize opposing offenses. I recoiled at Lawrence Taylor's incoherent yet nonetheless intimidating rants, cowered at the spine-cracking spear Leonard Marshall delivered between Joe Montana's shoulder blades and thought to myself: "Who unleashed these monsters?
If Tuesday's game against Florida State wasn't a must-win for the Virginia men's basketball team, it came pretty close. The No.
