In the locker room after Virginia basketball’s heartbreaking NCAA Tournament loss to Tennessee, Sam Lewis was the first to verbally recommit to the program.

At Virginia, the 7-4 Sampson was a revelation. He was very thin, but was immediately dominant in the ACC, and he made […]

Nonetheless, not […]
