Latest news and updates about the Virginia
The ACC continues to boggle our minds as we enter the second day of the Sweet 16. Two more ACC teams aim for upsets today, so let’s take a look at them, as well as the two from the SEC who are hoping for unexpected victories. Here’s what to watch for on Saturday. Join the […]
The TCU Horned Frogs are back in the Sweet 16 after outlasting No. 6 seed Washington in an overtime thriller at Schollmaier Arena on Sunday evening. The No. 3-seeded Horned Frogs (31-5) are set to take on the No. 10 seed Virginia on Saturday, March 28 with a time to be determined. The winner will […]
In the history of the NCAA tournament, there have only been two 16 seeds to win. First, there was UMBC’s stunning victory over Virginia in 2018. The coach of that team, Ryan Odom, now coaches the Cavaliers. The other was in 2023, when Fairleigh Dickinson knocked off Purdue. FDU’s coach, Tobin Anderson, amused the basketball […]
The NCAA Tournament’s First Round was without any big upsets. No. 10 Virginia defeated the No. 7 Georgia Bulldogs, but no midmajors challenge and overtook a power conference opponent. That is ok for the women’s game because, as the tournament goes on, there are individual stars in the game that bring in viewership as the […]
SMU and NC State were eliminated in the first 4. Duke almost lost to Siena before righting their ship and getting to the Sweet 16. Virginia struggled with Wright State before they closed them out. We’ll exempt Louisville, as they played to their seeding and lost to a very good Michigan State. We all know … Continue reading »
Here’s the lineup for the first half of today’s action Santa Clara vs Kentucky, 11:15am Akron vs Texas Tech, 11:40am Long Island vs Arizona, 12:35pm Wright State vs Virginia, 12:50pm Tennessee State vs Iowa State, 1:50pm Hofstra vs Alabama, 2:15pm Utah State vs Villanova, 3:10pm Miami (OH) vs Tennessee, 3:25pm
Day 1 of the NCAA tournament is always a treat, unless your team loses as a higher seed. Losing stinks. Losing and busting your bracket stinks even more. Duke almost made Siena an all-time March Madness hero. #16 UMBC knocking off #1 Virginia has been done, but Virginia isn’t Duke. Everyone I know, UNC fan […]
The Horizon League champion Wright State Raiders will call the City of Brotherly Love home this week. Head coach Clint Sargent’s team earned a No. 14 seed in the NCAA Tournament and will meet No. 3 Virginia on Friday in Philadelphia. Wright State currently stands as a just under 20-point underdog, the kind of margin […]
It has only been less than 24 hours since Duke won the ACC title over Virginia but there is little time to look back as the most important games now lie before us. The Duke Basketball Roundup crew is already deep into their analysis of the brackets, especially Duke’s East region, which looks absolutely loaded. […]
Duke wasn’t supposed to do this. Not down two starters. Not with just seven players. Wasn’t supposed to happen. But it did. Duke knocked off Virginia in a taut, 74-70 win that took everything the depleted Blue Devils had. We’ve said all year that this team has a winners’ mentality, and we really saw that […]
Date 3/14 || Time 8:30 || Venue Spectrum Center || Video ESPN Duke and Virginia, the top two teams in the ACC regular season, will meet for the ACC Championship on Saturday in Charlotte. Duke got there after surviving Florida State, 80-79, and then hammering Clemson on Friday night, 71-63. Virginia defeated NC State on […]
In Thursday’s ACC Tournament Action, Virginia got by NC State, 81-74, Miami survived Louisville, 78-73, and Clemson held on to beat UNC, 80-79. Clemson was cruising in this one before UNC outscored the Tigers 25-11 over the last 4:55, including 5 threes. What we saw from UNC here is what we have talked about previously: […]
Game Summary: The first half went well, especially considering NC State was down 40-20 and 32-19 at the half in the first two games and the game was mostly decided. The Wolfpack came out of the gate hot and led till the 6:55 mark when UVA went up 25-24. The Pack shot 42% / 38% […]
The 73rd iteration of the ACC Tournament gets underway on Tuesday afternoon with a triple-header of first-round games inside the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. While Virginia doesn’t take the floor until Thursday, keep it locked on Streaking the Lawn throughout the week, as Corbin Lathrop is on the ground with live updates and […]
Saturday was the last day of regular season ACC Action, and here’s how that went: Virginia survived Virginia Tech, 76-72; Louisville surprised Miami, 92-89; BC got by Notre Dame, 77-69; Clemson outlasted Georgia Tech, 79-76; Florida State smoked SMU, 91-78; Stanford held off NC State, 85-84; Wake Forest surprised Cal, 80-73; and Pitt took down […]
In Tuesday night’s ACC Action, Virginia nipped Wake Forest, 75-70, UNC survived Clemson, 67-63, Virginia Tech thumped BC, 72-63, and Louisville handled Syracuse, 77-62. We honestly didn’t think that Wake Forest could keep up with Virginia in this one. First, UVA has vastly more size than Wake, and second, the Cavaliers were bound to be […]
The Deacs had a shot at this one. Despite being on the road against the #13 team in the country, Wake never let this one get away and had their chances down the stretch to tie the game. It was a valiant effort, but, in the end, the Deacs just never could get a stop […]
No change in the top three, as Duke, Arizona, and Michigan had dominant 2-0 weeks where they beat strong competition. The Blue Devils rolled past Virginia, the Wildcats clobbered Kansas, and the Wolverines romped past Illinois 84-70 on the road. Below them, UConn and Florida impressed in the battle for the fourth 1-seed, with the […]
Outside the top 75 of KenPom, Risk to Miss the ACCT 18. Georgia Tech (Prev: 18, 2-14): The Yellow Jackets lost their 10th straight ACC game, this time in Atlanta vs. FSU. They have also lost 13 of 14 with that inexplicable win over NC State in Raleigh in there. As the only 2-win team […]
We thought Virginia was better than that. Whatever else we might have thought, we never thought that Duke would have a 28-point lead on a good Virginia team. And winning 77-51? Not what we expected – not at all. But that’s what happened as Duke wrapped up the #1 seed for the ACC Tournament. And […]
In Tuesday’s ACC Action, Miami beat Florida State, 83-73, and Virginia just walloped NC State again, this time, 90-61, which was a lot worse than the loss in Raleigh on January 3rd. Virginia won that time, 76-61, after State cut into a massive lead late. No such luck this time. Virginia just crushed State. The […]
The 2025-26 women’s college basketball season will NOT smoothly slide into March. Instead, the second-to-last Sunday of the regular season for Power Four conferences sent a tremor through the top 10, as three top-10 teams were taken down. Here’s how Clemson, Virginia and No. 13 Iowa earned upsets over No. 9 Duke, No. 8 Louisville […]
In Wednesday’s ACC Action, Virginia clocked Georgia Tech, 94-68, and Wake Forest surprised Clemson, 85-77. Wake Forest basically dominated the entire game. A week or two ago, who would have expected that? Well, here’s something you may have missed – Clemson has lost three straight, to Virginia Tech, Duke and now Wake Forest. And all […]
