UVa sports uncovered... from the Rotunda to Homer and back
Former Syracuse Orange head coach Adrian “Red” Autry has officially been announced as an assistant coach for the Virginia Cavaliers. The announcement came this afternoon that Autry will be joining Ryan Odom’s staff as an assistant. Autry fills the spot left by former Associate Head Coach Griff Aldrich, who left the Cavaliers’ staff to become […]
Malcolm Brogdon is officially returning to the Virginia Cavaliers men’s basketball program but this time, in a professional capacity. On Tuesday, the Virginia Cavaliers announced that the Virginia alumnus would be returning to serve as Strategic Advisor, a newly created position. In the statement, head coach Ryan Odom said Brogdon will bring “a wealth of knowledge, […]
On Thursday, Virginia Cavaliers associate head coach Griff Aldrich was hired as the new head coach at Pepperdine. After one year on the UVA sidelines, and several previous seasons in the Commonwealth, Aldrich will be taking his talents out west for a new opportunity. Aldrich, Ryan Odom’s college teammate, left his head coaching gig at […]
For the first time since the year 2000, the Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team will take the floor in the NCAA Tournament’s Sweet Sixteen. The ‘Hoos, who have become the talk of the college basketball world this week after shocking second-seeded Iowa on Monday afternoon, are the first women’s team ever to advance past the […]
“We did some team bonding, we had some really tough practices … [and] we had some soul searching,” Virginia head coach Amaka “Mox” Agugua-Hamilton said on ACC Network on Selection Sunday. “I felt like we got better this week.” She was right. Hamilton’s Cavaliers, at the time losers of three-straight games, had once seemed like […]
College hoops may be the king of March sports, especially with strong performances from both Virginia’s men’s and womens’ teams. This month will also see the beginning of the 2026 United Football League season. Virginia fans tuning in will have the chance to see some of their favorite players from past UVA football teams take […]
For the first time since 2000, the Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team is headed to the Sweet 16. Led by another remarkable performance from Kymora Johnson and some timely buckets by Paris Clark, the tenth-seeded ’Hoos stunned the second-seeded Iowa Hawkeyes, 83-75 in double-overtime, in front of their sold-out home crowd at Carver-Hawkeye Arena. With […]
The Virginia Cavaliers’ season is over, and what makes this one sting is that it never really felt out of reach. The No.3 seed Wahoos fell 79-72 to No. 6 seed Tennessee Volunteers on Sunday night in Philadelphia, ending a season that delivered far more than many expected in Ryan Odom’s first year. But this was not one of those clean tournament […]
The three-seeded Virginia Cavaliers fell 79-72 to the six-seeded Tennessee Volunteers in the second round of the NCAA tournament on Sunday night. Following a five point deficit at halftime, Virginia sprung back into the picture. After a back-and-forth second half, Tennessee spent much of the final minute at the free-throw line – expanding Virginia’s final […]
Behind a career-high output from Sa’Myah Smith and another vintage Kymora Johnson performance, the tenth-seeded Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team survived an overtime thriller against the seventh-seeded Georgia Bulldogs, 82-73, in the NCAA Tournament’s Round of 64. Inside an air-conditioning-less Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the ’Hoos delivered their best offensive performance since their upset of then-No. 8 […]
The Virginia Cavaliers took care of business on Friday, surviving 14-seeded Wright State behind a late surge, and now they will be faced with a much larger test to advance to the second weekend — 6-seeded Tennessee. The Volunteers are coming off of an impressive Round of 64 victory themselves, dominating 11-seeded Miami Ohio by […]
Virginia is moving on, but not without making its fans sweat for most of the afternoon. The third-seeded Cavaliers beat fourteenth-seeded Wright State, 82-73, on Friday in Philadelphia, but this was no comfortable first-round cruise. UVA trailed 43-38 at halftime, spent much of the game looking like it was one bad stretch away from another […]
Finally, once and for all, Virginia fans can breathe easily. The Wahoo faithful were given an all-too-familiar story, as 14-seeded Wright State gave UVA all they could handle. However, this time, the alternative version of the script was finally written as the Cavaliers pulled away in the final minutes for an 82-73 victory, avoiding a […]
It wasn’t pretty, but the tenth-seeded Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team did just enough to pull out a 57-55 win over fellow No. 10 seed Arizona State in the NCAA Tournament’s First Four on Thursday night. Inside Iowa’s Carver-Hawkeye Arena, the ’Hoos took the floor in the Big Dance for the first time since 2018. […]
The talk is over, and the Virginia Cavaliers have arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for their first-round matchup against the 14-seeded Wright State Raiders on Friday afternoon at 1:50 PM. The ‘Hoos are -4000 odds to win and are favored by 17.5 points according to FanDuel Sportsbook. Make of that what you will… Virginia will be […]
The greatest tournament in sports is here. The multi-week sprint to Indianapolis for the Final Four began with the First Four earlier in the week, and fully tips off Thursday at noon. So it’s only right that someone on this site puts out a bracket prediction. An idea that could be awesome, or regrettably bad. […]
Virginia is unfortunately all too familiar with double-digit seed Cinderellas. The ghosts of UMBC, Ohio, and Furman still haunt the minds of the Cavalier faithful to this day. So, it is fair to approach UVA’s first-round opponent with caution and take a real look at what Wright State brings into this matchup. The No. 14 seed Raiders won the […]
Despite riding a three-game losing streak into Selection Sunday, the Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team squeaked into the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018, earning a No. 10 seed and a trip to the First Four.

Zach Carey Okay folks – it’s that magical time of year again. March Madness is upon us! And, for the first time in two years, the Virginia Cavaliers are a part of it. This has been a resoundingly successful year for Ryan Odom in his first season leading the ‘Hoos. Any sane Wahoo fan would’ve […]
The Virginia Cavaliers are back in March Madness. Not as an inconsistent at-large team, not as a play-in participant, but as a formidable squad that no coach should want to go against going forward. The ’Hoos last made the tourney in the 2023-2024 season, a First Four loss to Colorado State in what ended up […]
The goal for Virginia football this spring is to make their exceptional 2025 season the standard in Charlottesville. This past season saw head coach Tony Elliott’s vision for Virginia football come into fruition: a program record win total, a sweep of Virginia Tech and North Carolina, and a bowl victory. With rivals reloading for the […]
After a long, stressful wait until Selection Sunday, the Virginia Cavaliers women’s basketball team is officially headed back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018. Though it took a while (Virginia was the very last team to be revealed during Sunday evening’s bracket show), the ’Hoos were awarded a No. 10 seed […]
The Virginia Cavaliers are in the NCAA Tournament and have been selected as the No. 3 seed in the Midwest region. The ‘Hoos will tip off against the No. 14 seed Wright State in Philadelphia on Friday. Should the ‘Hoos win their first NCAA Tournament game since 2019, they’ll take on either No. 6 Tennessee […]
The Virginia Cavaliers lost an absolute heartbreaker on Saturday night, falling to the Duke Blue Devils, 74-70, in the ACC Tournament championship game. After a no-show performance in Durham on February 28th, the ’Hoos looked like an entirely different squad in round two against the Blue Devils, using the momentum of Friday night’s 22-point semifinal […]
