Basketball Feature

By Kris Wright, November 20, 2009 2:10 PM

Image: Monica Wright Monica Wright, the Cavaliers' spectacular senior guard, and her teammates are excited about Sunday. Really excited. That's when Tennessee comes to town for a 4 p.m. tip-off on Hot Dog Day. More than 8,000 tickets have already been sold so the John Paul Jones Arena is expected to be an electric atmosphere for the contest. The Sabre caught up with Wright to make her the debut guest in a new basketball feature. Let's play a round of H-O-R-S-E with the Hoos' standout.

Game Preview 2009 - Clemson

By Paul Montana, November 20, 2009 9:25 AM

If a football team doesn't contain its opponent's ground attack, it usually doesn't win too many games. Virginia has defended the run on occasion - but against teams whose running game is its strength, the Hoos have consistently faltered.

The combination of the two resulted in an impressive, to say the least, 79-46 Virginia victory in the Cancun Challenge on Thursday. The 33-point victory is clearly the best performance to date in the early stages of Bennett's tenure at UVa.

Photo Gallery '09: Longwood

By Mike Ingalls, November 19, 2009 4:24 PM

Image: Tony Bennett The Virginia men's basketball team opened a new era under coach Tony Bennett with an 85-72 win against Longwood last Friday. The defense was a bit lackluster - as the Hoos found out against Southern Florida three days later - but for Wahoo fans, it was nice to see Virginia start 2009-10 on the right foot.
