Preview: The Wahoos come off their bye week and get set to head to Chapel Hill. @BigGriff has our breakdown as UVa and No. 10 North Carolina renew The South’s Oldest Rivalry tomorrow night (6:30 p.m., CW Network).

Virginia was behind 2-0 after 2 periods. UNC had 6 shots , and VA had none. In the last 2 periods, UNC had 3 shots to 4 shots by Virginia, which scored on 3 of their 4. Great comeback against a perennial powerhouse team.

The Hoos scored early and added another goal in the first half. A goal in the second sealed the victory and extended the win streak to 6.

Sounds like he has reclassed to 2024. Played really well at Peach Jam averaging almost 47% from 3 on an average of 7 attempts per game.

Local kid and acquaintance of one of my kids, just posted that he has a UVA offer (2025). Not sure I have seen any coverage of him re: UVa.

Is this legit?

How does VT get their 2023 FB schedule with no UNC, no Duke and no Miami? All teams in their division. And yet they get Syracuse, BC, Wake, NC State, and Louisville. WTF...just don't understand that scheduling. Basically two tough games all year, FSU and Louisville.

On Episode 533 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“That Pesky Half Hour”), we discuss UVa’s hoops schedule and what we’re looking forward to and then switch to football to preview Saturday’s game at Carolina.

Raya Mellott, who is ranked #8 in the 2025 class, has committed to Virginia. She is from Danville, California.

The 3-2-1 is back as @justin ferber shares some thoughts following yesterday’s press conference at UVa, a couple of questions, and one prediction heading into the Carolina game.

While preseason polls and prognostications aren’t everything, they do tell us plenty about where a team might be in the big picture. @justin ferber takes a look at what they mean for this year’s UVa squad and how things are setting up.

Only ACC in preseason top 25 are
2 Duke
13 Miami
19 Heels
We are 31st in total votes. Thought we would make it into the 25.

Judging only by the narrative from Streaking the Lawn, sounds like the most solid performances came from Beekman, Bond & Dunn while Harris & Buchanan also showed well. More defensive highlights than offensive. Team shot 38% from the floor and 16% from 3 point.

If you have not seen it before, consider watching the video The Chicken Runs at Midnight on Utube. Warning - watching this video could cause a sudden onset of allergies.

With hoops season rapidly approaching, @justin ferber takes a look at UVa’s roster and try to gauge the various lineup combinations that Tony Bennett might be inclined to use this year.

Column: With three weeks left until it tips off, UVa’s preseason is full of intrigue. If the Wahoos do in fact get “better and better” as Tony Bennett said Saturday, it could be an even more interesting season than expected.

Virginia is hosting one of the top prospects from the recruiting class of 2025 today as the program showcases this season’s team in the annual Blue-White scrimmage (see related story for starting times of men’s and women’s scrimmages, autograph sessions) at John Paul Jones Arena.

Jacob Wilkins, the son of nine-time NBA All-Star Dominique Wilkins, will be in the house as Wahoo fans get a sneak peak at Tony Bennett’s new team. Wilkins is a 6-foot-8, 4-star forward from Lilburn, Ga., and is ranked the No. 16 overall prospect in the nation for ‘25.

Wilkins, who was offered by UVA in mid-July, also holds offers from Alabama, Georgia, Indiana and Cincinnati. His father was inducted into the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame in 2006.

Except in volleyball, Virginia had a good weekend. The field hockey team led the way with 2 wins; The ladies defeated Wake Forest 5-0, and then the team edged #2 Duke 2-1 in 2 OT. MSOC defeated #11 Pitt 2-1, and WSOC defeated our VT cousins 3-0. Lastly the men's golf team won the tournament in Georgia; they ended with a total of 839 while GT was second with 845.

ODE TO THE COMMANDERS(OR Dan’s laughing all the way to the bank) Set to the tune “It’s the Same Old Song



IT’S THE SAME OLD TEAM

WITH DIFFERENT OWNERS PROVIDING A BAD DREAM

DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO

THEY TRIED TO PUT THE TEAM ON THE MAP

BUT THEY STILL PLAY LIKE CRAP

DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO DOO

IT HURTS TO BE FAN

AS THEY PLAY NO BETTER THEN THEY DID FOR DAN

WE HOPED THEY PLAY BETTER BEFORE IT WAS OVER

BUT THAT MIGHT NOT HAPPEN UNTIL HELL FREEZES OVER

SO IT’S THE SAME OLD TEAM

YOUR BETTER OFF STAYING HOME

Don’t WASTE YOUR TIME

BY GIVING THIS TEAM A DIME

DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT

DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT

Agree or disagree?

Unbelievable #17 Miami loses at home to bad GT team who just got their butts kicked by Bowling Green at home last week. GT embarasses the ACC two weeks in a row. Anyways, maybe the dumbest coaching call ever. Miami had 3-point lead with 34 seconds left, and GT had no timeouts. All Miami had to do was take a knee to win game, instead Miami ran the ball and fumbled. Proceeded to give GT a TD to lose the game. Stupid, stupid, stupid coaching call by Miami.
